Did I miss Stripe rebranding to Parallelogram?

This is nonsense. I expected better.

Specs are "up to" but price is just stated. But price is actually "as low as". The specs are in other words completely unrelated to the price. The processor upgrade to the one they list costs more than the price they show.

I mean. I made slides. What would you expect the office to look like?

The Erlang Ecosystem Foundation has so many security points!

Crude benchmarking is fun.

This is a total hack in terms of the seriousness-level but it the performance maps to the ideal case. Need to make some more contention-causing loads as well, see how that compares :)

The Primeagen and teej_dv are poking around Elixir. So a few of us got together and sent them some swag to encourage it and make sure they could be properly branded.

Grabbed this picture from a Prime post since it's on the bad place.

It is kind of fun to see oswag.org shirts showing up there.

If someone were to make an Erlang shirt the terrible mockup attached shows a problem. The logo is actually transparent. It works really well on white. For production reasons one might not be able to flip the black text white for the black shirt. It could work okay on a gray.

Which one? Why?

This makes me think of the challenge of having models generate an image of a flail that is actually stick -> chain -> spikeball.

I offer you ChatGPT 5. All the components are there. Modular?

Our good friends at Tigris return to support our efforts. This time they are sponsoring a very special thing for Goatmire that I look forward to sharing soon enough.

We use their object storage for NervesCloud. Check them out for geo-distributed object storage.

This is what you get when you don't finish your post in time. The ground moves. Number go up.

Let's do some writing shall we...

Are there writing livestreams? Of course there are. Any you can recommend?
I mean if someone wants me to try it, holler. It'd be interesting to try, see if and how it changes my process.

Anyway, gotta blog.

Bah.. need more RAM.
Or maybe constrain memory usage a bit.

How is your day going?

I just got a virtual Nerves device connected to NervesHub. The guest is a single puny virtual core. The host is a 192 core Ampere One. This is a very fun collab for one of our conference sponsors.

We now have one machine...

Formrausch is sponsoring NervesConf EU!

A creative studio creating beautiful and functional digital products they've made some customers very happy. Open sourcing the Nerves system for the ReTerminal DM they made me really happy.

A big thank you!

A new Elixir company has joined the party.
entryfy.com

Physical access control and related security products. They'll be at NervesConf & Goatmire Elixir to tell you about their work with migrating their cloud to Elixir and creating a Nerves product.

A big thanks for their sponsorship!

Kivra does Elixir. Kivra is a household name in Sweden as the de facto digital mailbox. They focus on sustainability by removing unnecessary paper being shipped for necessary information. Thrilled that they sponsor Goatmire Elixir.

Sponsors! The first one made us feel we could do Goatmire Elixir at all. Sparbanksstiftelsen reinvests the profits of the local bank and enables youth programs, events and more. This year they are taking a chance on Goatmire Elixir.
