Thinking about data sonification again. The Digital Heartbeats sparkled some new ideas in my mind. Using code coverage data (Python's trace, Clang's SanitizerCoverage) as it runs in real time could be used to draw visualisations or play sonifications describing what's going on. I'm pondering on an idea of the shape of a running program and how it could evolve with different usage patterns of the same application. If the visualisation/sonification tool is written correctly, the shape could be preserved between application versions, altering only slightly.

Took a small movie-making (or rather video-tutorial-making) task at work, to get a break from programming/managing/whatever it is that im currently doing. Happy to report that DaVinci Resolve works like a charm on Linux, with full GPU support! Together with Bitwig, i can basically do whatever I want, without leaving the comfort of my Arch setup.

Using last free days after christmas/new year to do some work on my infrastructure:

• All of my hosted services are now rate-limited. Sorry, bots!
  • Rate limiting is not very agressive, but contact me if you encounter issues
• Everything is now HTTP/3 compliant
• I've set up Borg backup for private stuff on my homelab. It's now using a multi-level backup strategy:
  • RAID1 on ZFS
  • ZFS snapshots (working on it)
  • ZFS snapshots with sanoid
  • Backup to a remote location via Borg
• I have migrated away from Google Photos and Google Drive, everything is now kept on my private cloud
