most people meet eBPF the hard way: prod's on fire, the container has no shell, and a restart would wipe the evidence
turns out you can just ask the kernel what's actually happening
- which function is slow, without touching the code
- syscalls, packets and disk I/O, live
- from outside a distroless container, nothing installed inside it
- CPU profiles that reach back to before the alert fired
and you don't restart or rebuild anything to get it
tools I keep coming back to:
- execsnoop - processes too short-lived for top to catch
- opensnoop - the exact file path that failed, plus errno
- biolatency - the disk latency tail iostat averages away
- tcplife - connection churn and tiny expensive calls
- bpftrace - the one-off question nothing else can answer
- hubble - kubernetes network flows and drop verdicts
- parca - always-on CPU profiling, with history
I wrote up medium article how I actually reach for these mid-incident, for when the dashboard says something's wrong and the logs say nothing
what did eBPF end up explaining for you?
@SirJarus Wait.... A Nigerian cc doesnt have access to Dangote but a foreign cc that I've not even heard of in my life somehow have access to him.... This is 🤐🤐.... Mk I no talk
Marriage used to be the starting point.
Two people would come together with almost nothing to their name, but each other, and then they would build everything side by side. This process of building led to bonding, it built loyalty, it required tremendous sacrifice and most of all it taught interdependence. But now we are told the opposite. We are told instead that we need to have it all before we marry.
We need a good career, a home, a bunch of money in the bank, your entire identity discovered and solidified, a passport filled with stamps, a degree and much dating experience.
The problem with this is that by the time two people finally decide to join one another, well they have spent most of their lives learning how to do life alone.
So it is not wonder then that building a life with someone else, suddenly feels so much harder. Marriage used to be a beginning, not it is an after thought to an already built life.
Two already self-sufficient and self-reliant people do not easily merge and mesh. It is hard to go from the perspective of “mine”, to “ours”, when individualism is all we have ever known.
And this is why individualism has become the death of marriage.
I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.
Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.
Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).
A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.
At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at https://t.co/cLu9I7M2wC
In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at https://t.co/arzrqInqJA
I think some people need to rewatch Carney's speech in Davos. Carney has completely owned Trump at every turn. He even explained to the world how he was going to do it.
