Had a great time implementing a UDP-based variation of traceroute today. Interestingly, it sends a UDP packet, but listens for an ICMP reply!
Also, found out that every open ICMP socket will receive every incoming ICMP packet which is bad for parallelism.

It is awesome to see my code inspire others to do other awesome things.
BTW currently I am working on completely bonkers concept that can open completely new interesting scope for others, and I think it will be really nice for stuff like @nerves-project.org.

I finished my little "Rebuild Traceroute in Elixir using ICMP" project and the results are pretty close to the original traceroute output!
I'll write up a blog post about this next week, but if you want to peek at the code already, it's here:

The Dutch government has ran an info campaign urging its citizens to be prepared for 72h of blackouts and we took it to heart. Obviously the highest priority would be to keep the coffee flowing so we bought a gas burner and a mokka. Prepping can be quite fun actually!

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Made a little library inspired by cloudevents-ex. It wraps avrora and it makes it super simple to create maps following the cloud events spec and encode/decode them in Avro. #ElixirLang

Oh, every visitor opened at least one LiveView socket, so this is how it looks like to have 10k LiveView sessions on a 8$/mo droplet 😄 (not simultaneously though)
Oh nice! My Postgres WAL post got the attention of HackerNews! I didn't even notice it but I should probably increase my tiny $8/mo droplet's memory :D
