3 Tales from Diversity |
|
4 |
|
5 Today while developing geomyidae and trying out, two things made the |
|
6 life for all gopherspace using geomyidae better: |
|
7 |
|
8 1.) With 20h moving to libressl in Gentoo, which is not really possible |
|
9 in binary distributions, he found out about tls.h, a simple TLS API and |
|
10 implemented in half a day TLS for geomyidae. Now it is there. |
|
11 |
|
12 |
|
13 2.) While debugging geomyidae, Evil_Bob was running geomyidae on OpenBSD |
|
14 and so we realized, sendfile() does not work on sockets and related |
|
15 stuff. Removing all sendfile() support saved source code lines and sped |
|
16 up geomyidae on lo from 500 Mbit/s to 1.3 Gbit/s on plaintext and from |
|
17 100 Mbit/s to 1.3 Gbit/s on TLS. Everyone will profit from this. |
|

|
20 What are the lessons from this? |
|
21 |
|
22 * Make simple, straightforward, easy to use APIs. |
|
23 |
|
24 * Run diverse systems and configurations for finding bugs. If you do not, |
|
25 you end up like the web, which can easily fail with some small software |
|
26 failures. |

29 Have fun! |
