Yay, finally moved everything off Azure!
(My free subscriptions actually ended, so I was properly incentivised. One of my small VMs on Azure cost more per month if I'm actually paying for it than the dedicated server that's now running the same VM and other things)
For a discussion elsewhere, I did some back-of-the-envelope calculations about the relative performance of disks and CPUs since the early 2000s. The number of retired instructions per byte of random disk reads between an early 2000s machine and today has changed by at least four orders of magnitude (possibly six, depending on exactly what you're measuring).
I knew disks had become faster, but that's an enormous change. If you wrote something 25 years ago that was entirely disk-I/O-bound and used 5% of the CPU, running today it wouldn't even be close to 1% of disk bandwidth usage but would be pegging the core at 100%. Even making it multithreaded and getting a perfect linear speedup wouldn't have come close to 1% disk-bandwidth usage.
The delta is less pronounced for large sequential reads.
PSA: If you haven't been following @owlsintowels during Owltober, you have been missing out even more than at other times.
Is there a good solution for TLS certs for consumer LAN devices? My ISP’s router recently moved to requiring TLS, but I access it via it’s IP address and it doesn’t have a TLS cert for an IP address (is it even possible to get a TLS cert for a private IP address?) and so the main change is that my browser no longer autocompletes the admin password (for good reasons: don’t autocomplete passwords in TOS sessions with invalid certs!).
Reminder to people who have international meetings: the next week is George W Bush Golfing Time. The USA and Europe had an agreement to move clocks at the same time, so the time difference remained constant. George W Bush decided he wanted a few weeks more golfing time, so unilaterally moved the USA’s Daylight Saving Time. This move remains in effect so there are a few weeks of annoying disruption each year.
I made the mistake of flying the first time this happened, which is how I knew about it: the airlines were unprepared and sold me tickets on two flights where the time change meant that my slightly tight 45-minute change turned into a -15 minute connection time (fortunately the second flight was on a route they flew every two hours so I was only an hour late)l
Das hier ist ein wirklich harter Film. Er besitzt Haltung, einen scharfen Blick und Konsequenz. Weil es ein Film über patriarchale Gewalt ist, über institutionelles Wegschauen und über das Funktionieren von Macht. David Fincher schaut genau dorthin, wo andere ausweichen: in die Abgründe männlicher Herrschaft und damit in ein System, das Täter:innen schützt und Opfer isoliert. Das passt noch immer sehr in die Zeit. Mit Daniel Craig, Rooney Mara, Christopher Plummer und Stellan Skarsgård. (ZDF, Wh.)

David Raya has kept more Premier League clean sheets than any other goalkeeper since he made his debut in the competition in 2021.
He also has the best save percentage of any GK to make 100+ saves in that time (73.04%). 🧤

Blogged: Towing with a Kia EV5
We'd ordered a towbar to be fitted to our new Kia EV. But given it's only the base model what is the experience trying to tow a trailer?
Ein großes Gaunerstück über Lüge, Macht und Dauerwellen und ein tragischer Fall von Oscar-Bait, der flach auf der Nase gelandet ist. Der Film von David O. Russell war tatsächlich für zehn Oscars nominiert, hat aber nicht einen einzigen gewonnen. War das jetzt Gerechtigkeit oder Missachtung durch die Academy? Was weiß ich denn? Fragen Sie eine:n andere:n. Er macht einigermaßen Spaß. Das genügt doch! (3Sat, Wh.)

Ottawa’s fast-tracked Bill C-39 bulldozes nature
In the name of “streamlining” regulations, Canada is steamrolling protections for the environment and communities.
Bill C-39, dubiously named the Building Canada Strong Act, would dangerously downgrade federal assessments of infrastructure and industrial projects like ports and pipelines. The bill also weakens permitting requirements meant to protect nature.
Building Canada Strong should mean building Canada well: by protecting nature, communities and Indigenous rights — not a rubber-stamping exercise. It should mean standing firm on Canada’s environmental standards and commitment to the Indigenous right to free, prior and informed consent.
Here’s what’s at stake:
Endangered species could be wiped out. Bill C-39 would grant Ottawa unconstrained power to waive conditions that project proponents must meet under the Species at Risk Act;
