gcc-16 bugs
Almost exactly a year passed since my previous pile report . gcc-16 was branched off from master and will receive only regression fixes. master is called gcc-17 now. Instead of posting incremental updates at arbitrary tine I’ll try yearly ones. That should cover all the bugs I saw in a release cycle in a single post. Summary During gcc-16 cycle I found 31 bug: libstdc++/119970 : mingw32 libstdc++ build failure (buffer handling) target/119929 : mips build failure target/120036 : gcc ICE on highway-1.2.0 ( float16 related) c/120060 : gcc ICE on bash-5.2 (deprecated declarations) libstdc++/120147

Zero Hydra Failures towards 26.05 NixOS release
NixOS-26.05 is around the corner! The schedule says it should happen around 25 May. Today the release process entered ZHF phase. There most packages with build failures are expected to be addresses by the release date. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/516381 contains detailed step-by-step to identify interesting packages. This time nixpkgs is full of build failures related to gcc-15 changes ( -std=gnu23 switch). An example package fix I usually try to fix at least one package during ZHF . Let’s do it again. I picked ior package. hydra says it is broken since January 2026. Most recent ht

CONNECT passthrough on nginx
A while ago I explored easy hacks on how to encapsulate SSH into HTTPS on apache2 . Since then I moved a few my systems from apache2 to nginx to play a bit with http/2 and http/3 . I wanted to port my hack to nginx . At the time nginx did not have direct support for CONNECT handling. I used chobits/ngx_http_proxy_connect_module external module to implement CONNECT . But around the end of 2025 the extension stopped compiling against latest nginx versions and I dropped CONNECT hack. This extension is not meant to be portable across nginx versions: it applies invasive patches to nxing core to add

Trying out niri
I have been using sway for a while . sway is good. I can remember only one bug where chromium was able to trigger assertion failures and compositor crashed on huge 32K-wide surfaces. It was a bug in wlroots which was fixed quickly. I occasionally look around for other compositors that I could use to check out slightly different tiling ideas and fancy features of a modern wayland desktop. This time I tried niri . It looked quite close to sway , uses rust as implementation language and kdl as a config language. I turned niri to match my sway config very quickly. niri Config Tweaks I switched Alt

Five years on NixOS
Another yer, another instance of my NixOS journey log ( 2025 instance ). System maintenance As usual I don’t remember what I did to my system over the past year, so I’m at the git log for /etc/nixos as it contains all the changes: I had to switch nix GC job from monthly runs to weekly runs: a month is enough to generate so much garbage that individual GC runs are too painful. follow rename of linuxPackages.perf -> perf temporary revert to older nix to avoid CA-derivation regression follow services.resolved.extraConfig -> services.resolved.settings move temporary revert to older nix to avoid an

Re: Online Friends Are Real Friends
A few days ago I booked my flights to not only attend a professional event, but also visit and stay with one of my best friends next month. This will be the sixth time that at least one of us has traveled to hang out with the other. We met each other online six years ago via Reddit (and to some degree, Instagram back when I still had an account) simply through shared interests. Never in my life did I suspect I would befriend someone online to such a degree that they feel like a true brother to me. I liked Absurd Pirate's post because it made me reflect on my own online friendships, which are s

Gotcha
Very recently marked 29 years since I was brought to the United States from my country of origin. Thankfully, my adoptive parents never attempted to celebrate my "gotcha day," a day and overall concept often dedicated to rescued pets and that many adoptees (rightfully) loathe, instead choosing to sweep the detachment of me from my own home, language, and culture under the rug. As an adult, I've felt the weight of this day increase with age even though my parents never brought it up. Nevertheless, they (and others) never failed to jump at other opportunities to make me feel like I am supposed t

When does a good idea become a bad one?
Part of me hesitates to write and share these thoughts because they sound silly. Naïve, even. A mix of too much and too little confidence. And in the end, everything in my head was all abstract, so what's the point in overanalyzing things? Who cares, I'm writing about this anyway. For years ideas and fantasies marinated in my brain: I would move to Germany not long after finishing graduate school, starting anew. And until Merz took over, I dreamt of the fast-track route to citizenship, a mere three years if one had sufficient language skills and proven dedication to and integration into societ

Lost in the forest
I recently visited Yosemite for the first time. One of my best friends lives in California, and while I am grateful to him for many reasons, him taking me to national parks is definitely one of them. There is a lot of beauty in this country that I have never witnessed, and only in the past few years have I been able to catch up a bit. For this I like to blame my parents for never taking me to a national park as a kid as well as my geographic and financial circumstances. Since meeting in person a few years ago, my friend and I have managed to visit three national parks together. Only a few days

A nice rainbow
Last night I had to run some errands that I didn't feel like doing. Unexpectedly, I was rewarded with one of the prettiest rainbows I've ever seen. I hadn't felt so excited about something in a while. Little things like this are keeping me going.

One year since my endometriosis excision
Today marks one year since I had extensive endometriosis lesions scraped out of me for several hours. Though not my first abdominal surgery, preceded only by my bilateral salpingectomy a few years prior, the excision took a lot out of me. And not just because my bladder decided to stop working a couple days after the procedure, which prompted a traumatizing ER visit where no one paid attention to my bladder about to explode until I became hysterical. Still, I don't regret having gone through with the surgery. I'm incredibly grateful to my surgeon, who told me that I likely would have needed a

A spontaneous trip
One of the perks of being both perpetually unemployed and a credit card nerd is the ability to "afford" to go somewhere on a whim with the help of award travel and the generosity of your best friend who is willing to host you for free. And it turned out to be one of my best decisions... maybe ever? One of my closest friends, initially "just" a language partner, told me last month that he would be headed to the Bay Area for a few weeks on a business trip. His first time in the US. We had met in person only once before, about 1.5 years ago when I stopped for a few hours in the Netherlands, where

Reflections on National Adoption Month
A few hours prior to attending an event several weeks ago, I met up with an online acquaintance and his wife who had come into town. We knew beforehand that a local animal shelter was invited to the event and would bring a couple of their dogs with the hope that they would be adopted by attendees. I can admit it was a sweet initiative. I didn't know this couple very well, but I met them in person once a few years ago. It was nice to kill some time by chatting with them about the evening ahead, except for one unpleasant interaction. As we discussed the dogs we would meet later, this couple's do

Static Typing
Static typing zealotry is such a spiritually castrated activity: there’s this mentality that “real programmers” would never even fathom using dynamically typed languages. I also find the idea of “but correctness of the program is in the types” a pretty deficient premise –tests are what gives you confidence that your program is correct, not types. The compiler can help, but it’s not a silver bullet. One time I renamed a field in a model and everywhere else that used it, but I forgot to change a call in a view. Since I was working with a dynamically type

Pragmata - an In-Depth Critique and Review
…Pragmata is very good. *REVIEW OVER* Okay, seriously now: Pragmata is the very only game other than Nier Automata that I could declare an instant classic. It’s pretty much the new Resident Evil 4: a game that’s so polished, smart and well-rounded that it holds infinite replay value. People will be replaying it decades from now. But the first time I saw Pragmata I was not impressed with it at all. It seeming to be simply an over-the-shoulder shooter with the Bioshock hacking minigame bolted on top, Capcom having also recently burned a lot of goodwill with their practices and

Twin Peaks - An In-Depth Critique and Review
Frank Lloyd Wright once said that “Television is chewing gum for the eyes”. Well, “that gum you like is coming back in style”… Well lodged within the Hollywood Cabal, Lynch is one of the most well-respected “Auteurs” I know. Everything he worked on, down to the most ridiculous advertisements for Japanese television, has his signature style of strobe lights, and oneiric bizarre nonsense. It is very easy to pitfall myself into simply gushing over David Lynch and his work in this review, given how sublime, eccentric, unconventional and trailblazing it is

Just recovered from a Kubernetes outage in my homelab.
Just recovered from a Kubernetes outage in my homelab. Since a few days ago, I’d been experiencing reduced performance across all the machines in the cluster. Even though they all seemed normal, I noticed the master tended to report high CPU usage and low available RAM. This would cause HTTP calls from the client machines to fail, so their status or deployments could not be updated. The main giveaway being that the nodes would very frequently flap between NotReady and Ready Historically, I’ve been running k3s on Raspberry Pis. It works and it’s stable, and it’s a great

A Few Words About The Sopranos (Mini Review)
A Few Words About The Sopranos (Mini Review) One of my gripes with Millennial-made media is that it’s nothing but membaberries . The vast majority of it is simply “hey guys, do you remember Ninja Turtles ? Do you remember Star Wars ? Hey, remember this from Alien ?”; I believe Millennial media to be lacking a voice , that is. Pre-9/11 turn-of-the-Millennium pieces such as The Matrix , Falling Down , American Beauty , Office Space , Fight Club , and of course, The Sopranos all share a similarity; they all revolve around a central concept, an “ethos”, specifically o
