for the like three people who follow me and have thought about illumos in the past decade: is there a per-interface counter of bytes received/sent in the OS somewhere?

for context, I'm looking for something equivalent to linux's /proc/net/dev stats, specifically the bytes fields (for tracking current network utilization). illumos has packet counters via netstat -i and inet/mib2.h (private api?) but I haven't found a counter for bytes.

I assume this means there is no such counter, but figure I might as well put the question out there!

things you can also do: cumulatively spend 12 hours building a perl script that spirals out to a modular system for generating rrdtool graphs. i wouldn't advise that one as much

fun fact: you can just make a web page. if you have a web server, doesn't matter if it's public. sometimes you don't even need a web server. you can just put whatever you want on it.

I am one of three people who can visit this site, and the only one who will likely be looking at it. I made it anyway

Read this post in HQ: https://2000.moe/@flurry/statuses/01KYD468MFK6B6NDH26QCQV0SG?fmt=35

started using rrdtool today. it's a pretty neat tool. why is nobody talking about rrdtool? is rrdtool the next excel? when will rrdtool ipo

i have a requirement that nearly any web server that is effectively an implementation detail has some bullshit added to the index page to confuse curious people. anyway i just remembered what i spent several hours on when building out my pds server some months ago https://pds.flurry.sh/

unicode is really neat, but also oh my god. case conversion is a nightmare

i know "the Internet was a mistake" is more often said in jest, but I do genuinely believe the Internet is a fascinating thing. if any aspect of it was a mistake, I'd argue it was the commercialization; although, that's a wider-reaching issue than the Internet itself. the fact that I can read a book from 200 years ago, typeset and distributed freely by a community effort, and with the ability to learn more about the context of the book and its various references on a whim (again, often by communities!), is amazing to me.

even the act of requesting this information, likely from computers miles away, indirectly communicating via protocols initially devised nearly half a century ago, is interesting in its own right to me

I've done it. After all these years, I've found Web 2.0 again.

or like, Web 2.1. I don't know where Google+ fits in there.

uh, i think some sites have too little traffic to do the whole "search suggestions based on actual searches" thing

happy emerge -uDN day to all who celebrate

oh, now that is a fun bug

New blog post: I have a new email address. I've actually had it for a month or so now, but figured I should mention that somewhere now that I'm actually using it for stuff. Also, don't use a .xyz TLD if you don't want to be auto-filtered to spam.

That's it. very exciting times in blog post authoring https://datagirl.xyz/posts/emails.html

growing up being the only computer person in my family gave me two different viewpoints:

• Intuitive user experience is one of the most important and most difficult parts of building interactive software. It's not just about following guidelines. You have to think about how even someone who's never heard of your program before will use it. And that's not even touching on accessibility
• man, remember weatherbug? you know, the weather program with an overwhelming UI and a bunch of ads? what if i made that again

the oxygen icons even have one for dolphin..... this fills me with joy

managing this irc server is sounding more and more like a bad job listing

"To manage this server, you need to have at least cursory knowledge of all these languages: Rust, Python, Go, and Java"

so ISO sells ISO8879:1986 on their site for 100CHF, but I can get it from the legacy FIPS site for free.

i really wonder where this stands in terms of copyright laws

I should start a CVS mirror for my code. I think that's the next move in IT
