Reposted by Material ScientistNina @ninasch.bsky.social · 21/11/2025I started raising her from corm in April this year. She has now produced corms herself. I am so proud of how she keeps growing. I had to up her pot size today. Needless to say, I am nervous. Alocasias are famous to be dramatic about it. (If she dies, I will cry. Violently.) #Alocasia #Houseplants 171

Material Scientist @mtrl-scientist.bsky.social · 03/08/2025I'm pretty sure this is not how you're supposed to use CSI mounts, but hey - it successfully circumvents the limitations of not being able to mount subdirs w/o having to create a volume for each one 😁 #Nomad #Hashistack #CSI #Docker 120

Material Scientist @mtrl-scientist.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Huh? Is it possible Kafka just loses segments sometimes? Pic 1 was live at the time (Kafka local storage). Pic2 is a replay (Kafka remote storage). Pic 3 shows that Kafka managed to write meta, but log file is 0 bytes for the missing parts??? 210
Material Scientist @mtrl-scientist.bsky.social · 14/11/2024This is pretty cool SeaweedFS allows change-data-capture at the filesystem level. Using streamz, I can hook into that and basically get a git-like commit-log of which notebooks I worked on at any given point in time. Since it's an append-only store, I also get versioning. 220
Material Scientist @mtrl-scientist.bsky.social · 13/11/2024Man, so much compute/memory wasted on just deserializing & re-serializing data... Peaks are 5min apart (1M events for each peak). Aggregating, since it'll be easier to process downstream. 030
