Announcing destiny report Search and filter every Destiny 2 weapon by name, perk, frame, archetype, damage type, ammo, and source. It's fast. Scroll through all 1700+ weapons at 100+fps. More updates to come. Check it out.

FACT CHECK: Destiny 2 player population JUN 2024: Final Shape: >4 million players JUL 2025: Edge of Fate: >2 million players FEB 2026: Content Drought: >1 million monthly players Journalists are welcome to DM me to verify or license this data. If you do, use safe word "BLORBES"

A frenetic screenshot of Google Sheet graphs, validating that there's a ~73% drop from Final Shape (~4.1 million monthly players) to last month (~1.2 million players)

You can't make this shit up. No, I'm not paid to post on fucking BlueSky. If anything, I heavily regret engaging with these weirdos. What amount would even make it worth the psychic damage? Speaking out against the atrocities of dairy farms does not mean I support war crimes! Fucking hell.

The second edition of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, by myself and @chris.blue, is finished and sent off to the printers! Ebooks should be available in the next week, and print books in 3–4 weeks. Sigh of relief. 😅 (BTW, this is a good opportunity to support your favourite local bookshop!)

Book cover of "Designing Data-Intensive Applications, 2nd edition". It has a similar wild boar on the cover as the first edition, but it uses O'Reilly's new cover design, and the boar is now slightly colourised.

I'm building a workspace-oriented virtual machine manager. COW overlay filesystem, network stack, port forwarding, observability. libkvm is a treat. 200ms cold start, sub 10s VM creation. init (PID 1) is a Go program and the TUI/manager is Rust/ratatui.

1 million hours played by D2 players in ~9 hours. That's an average CCU of over 100k. I see ~140k in game right now.

Graph showing 425K unique players today, 1.037 M hours played.

my windows+WSL2 experiment is coming to a close. Linux daily driver now (Arch/CachyOS, btw). Loving niri, waybar, wofi. Niri really is a fantastic way to work. Each "desktop" is an infinitely wide ribbon of windows you can tile, scroll, and rearrange. The zoom-out view in particular is awesome.
