@Arnold_Platon Apparently "da" is an early 19th century loan from Bulgarian. Prior to that, they'd use "așa" for a similar purpose (which is of Latin origin).

As the old joke goes: "Romanian are you Latin?" "Da!" I see it works for Slovenian too 😅 Jokes aside, Romanian also has dialectal alternatives: "ie / è" in Transylvania which I assume come from a form of German "Ja"

Obsessed with this photography project showing civil servants aIn different countries. First, Bolivia:

@utopiah @utopiah I ended up replacing thttpd with BusyBox httpd and aside from having an even smaller image (154KB) the memory footprint is back to normal (<1MB for my pet project). Feel free to give it a try github.com/lipanski/docke…

@utopiah Setting that variable didn't change anything. I also tried starting from Debian - no difference. It must have something to do with the way thttpd uses mmap internally (which probably reserves a chunk of memory) but I'm not sure how to limit that.

What's the smallest (practical) Docker image to serve static websites? Spoiler alert: it's 186KB lipanski.com/posts/smallest…

@Kidmar @Kidmar I ended up replacing thttpd with BusyBox httpd and aside from having an even smaller image the memory footprint is back to normal (<1MB for my pet project). Feel free to give it a try github.com/lipanski/docke…

@Kidmar yeah I noticed that as well and discussed it a bit here twitter.com/helloflorin/st… but couldn't figure out how to contain it

@utopiah Seems that thttpd has an in-memory cache that can be limited by compiling the binary and setting DESIRED_MAX_MAPPED_BYTES. That might solve the issue, though not sure what would be a good value. Also how large are the files in your project?

@helloflorin To clarify this is not criticism I'm just trying to understand what is happening because I'm surprised. I was expecting a smaller memory footprint.

@utopiah @utopiah If you built the image yourself, the initial build stage is larger (runs Alpine and some build tools), but the resulting image should be small. My Docker Hub version lipanski/docker-static-website only contains the final image (200KB). Which image did you build actually?

@helloflorin Hi! Thanks for the great post and the image. It's quite an interesting challenge. I'm running your image and wondering how could I inspect it. I was surprised to see docker stats give me 160MB used so wondering how they are being used.

We are meeting remotely this Thursday 19:00 CET / 18:00 UTC! Talks by @helloflorin and @carhillion! We'll be talking Turbo Streams and Documentation! See you there, for a happy new year with talks and socializing! rug-b.de/events/january…

Wow, this is extremely cool: a website that shows all stations that can be reached by direct train from some starting point (in the Screenshot Duisburg Hbf, where I live), without changing trains direkt.bahn.guru/?origin=8011160

Crystal go brrrrr thanks to @lbguilherme #CrystalConf

@CrystalLanguage @carlhoerberg @carlhoerberg awesome talk! Any chance you could share your slides somewhere? 👏👏👏

In a few minutes, @carlhoerberg kicks off Track 1 of the #CrystalConf to talk about how to write efficient network applications, and do's and don'ts to squeeze out as much performance as possible. Join him at bit.ly/3i6NCxK

@nTraum Jekyll is pretty decent, you can have different custom HTML layouts but not sure that's enough for what you want

What static site generators do people use nowadays to build? Templating is a must, not just markdown. They all seem to suck, maybe I should write my own sucky one.

Three Rails methods you'll kick yourself for not knowing 🤦

The tragedy of Lisp is that everyone and their dog has a Lisp interpreter listed as their pet project, but nobody actually writes any Lisp.

Utrecht’s Dafne Schippers Bridge follows in the Dutch tradition of working together to find space-efficient design solutions. An elementary school acts as the on-ramp to a newly-built bike crossing of the Rijn Canal, complete with cycle path on the roof! vimeo.com/292657475
