deeper into the tilde zone

Got into the tilde IRC today. IRC always confuses me, I'll be honest. But that's where the action is. There are a lot of cool channels. I joined:

  #envs
  #meta
  #selfhosting
  #gemini
  #projects

-------------------------------

I need to make sure I cook a meal tomorrow instead of ordering in.

I need a haircut.

I need to chill out.

I need to exercise.

Something's been happening recently. Something bad.

-------------------------------

The wrk load testing tool I mentioned yesterday? Turns out Gatling, in the hands of my brilliant colleague, generates way more load. I even tried spinning up 10 EC2 machines. And one beefy box running Gatling destroyed it with concurrent connections. Gatling is built on Netty, which is a high performance Java server. wrk is written in C, but I don't know how they do the networking stuff.
