On the ravine heading to the Mystery Lake transition cave, looking between a couple rocks, I see this, looking maybe north-northwest.

I'm betting that's the road to Keeper's Pass, after the prisoner transport bus tunnel cave-in.

Pretty neat, never noticed it before.

I've been wondering whether it's better for memory pages to be compressed at the hypervisor level, or on the VM level.

I'm leaning toward the VM level, because

1: VMs have better knowledge of memory pressure by the application, and can better decide when to swap pages out to zram. The VM has access to information about memory pages that the hypervisor doesn't have.

2: if pages are compressed on the hypervisor level, the VM doesn't "see" any increased memory available. The host box gains free memory, but the application never sees it to make use of it, it'll just see the same 8GB as it always has, so it never really benefits. This maybe lets you host more VMs on one box, but at the cost of the applications not being as efficient.

Is this a reasonable position? I'm wondering if I'm missing something obvious.

It really lays bare some missing pieces. Like there's no road that goes to Mountain Town currently that connects into the wider network. And the future rail link after it terminates in Coastal Highway certainly has to go north to either Port Mary or Perseverance Mills.

I learned two things today.

1: the quonset in CH is named "Quincy's Quonset".

2: It has what looks like an EV charger station now. Nice. That was definitely not the case a few years ago.

Various bugfixes.

I'm a little choked up.

18 years is a pretty good run for a cat, but yeah.

Now that something like a quarter of car sales in BC are EVs, I am starting to think their privileged access to HOV lanes is no longer a sustainable concession. There are just so many that the priority should shift back away from single occupancy vehicles.

Alternatively, we could keep the allowance, but add a second HOV lane, leaving gas vehicles to whatever's left on the highway. But that probably be unpopular. 😀

Who in government would I write to express this opinion? MP or MLA?

Interesting comment on a post.

Tldr: Zebra Mussels reach a balance that prevents them from being a totally catastrophic invasive.

Some pretty neat stuff in here about upcoming visual changes, and minor updates about episode 5 and Blackfrost.

"The Department of Government Efficiency, Musk's vehicle. made news by "discovering" the General Services Administration uses tapes, and plans to save $1M by switching to something else (disks, or cloud-based storage)."

Pretty catchy song.
