  • (Re)Start me up!

    This post was originally published as part of the Java Advent series. There are cases where you would like to start a Java process identical to the current one (or at least using the the same JVM with tweaked parameters). Some concrete cases where this would be useful: Auto-tuning the maximum memory parameters (ie. you […]

  • Upgrading from MySQL to MariaDB on Ubuntu

See it in action and browse the source code. The map is based on the SVG drawings from Wikimedia Commons postprocessed in […]

  • Every end is a new beginning

    TL;DR: I’m shutting down the twitfeeder project (it was on lifesupport for a long time) so I mirrored a technical article from the blog in the hope that it might be useful for somebody someday. Proxying URL fetch requests from the Google App Engine Hosting on the Google App Engine means giving up a lot […]
