Today is my last day with SmartOS.

No!

thank you for all the hard work and so many stable releases!

Indeed!

Well said!

very sad ;( but super happy for what's next for you Dan, we will miss you!

danmcd: Thanks for all you have done, and best of luck going forward! Looks like you'll be in good company

And with limited LLM slop, apparently :)

danmcd, oh no. really ;,, Where are you going, then?

danmcd, you wer not only employee, you make me feel you are an community member and maintainer. Who is going to be replacing you? Any contact as your replacement from inside SmartOS team?

Still have Triton "Office hours" reminder on Discord , plus all those recorded events on youtube : youtube.com/channel/UCAVviLJmQeLVEPoHAU67gfQ

The SmartOS bench has depth. I see two already in the list of members. And I'm not leaving greater-illumos.

Always hoping once it would continue :P

danmcd, :)

I'm only leaving SmartOS & Triton as $DAYJOB .

danmcd, you are a great man, to say the least :P Hope your day job will be challenging and interesting

TY, that's WAY too kind, and I expect new $DAYJOB will be both.

danmcd, any info on Briana? blog.brianewell.com stopped weorkign rather recently and it is full with in-depth interesting articles.

No really, those brave and eloquent Office Hours series and your omnipresent positive impact is to be remembered.

URL isn't her. Different person.

that blog.brianewell.com from different person, is behind Cloudflare it seems.

Hopefully @danmcd will never have to look at i40e code ever again 😂

Well... the good news is this affects all of illumos-land, so @jbk is on the case. Quite literally, and @tsoome has the reproducer in his lab.

There's a good change fenix illumos#18075 lands in illumos-joyent soon.

FEATURE 18075: i40e could be smarter allocating memory for packets (New)

↳ illumos.org/issues/18075 | code.illumos.org/c/illumos-gate/+/4719

i kinda hope ice is the last NIC intel makes for a _long_ time :)

i'm working on the RSS bits, which (unlike i40e) require programming the packet engine to determine the type of packet, which byte offsets to extract and then feed into the hashing hardware to select the RX ring

i40e by comparison feels quaint :)

I'll take, "Damning with faint praise," for $200, Ken!

i mean, i'm sure if you take advantage of all the bits, it's really low overhead for essentially having a bunch of virtual NICs for VMs

but it'd be nice if there was just a 'simple' mode

like give me some rings and go

Don't let danmcd's head get any more inflated!

Trust that guy ^^^
