yeet - a dynamic runtime / system performance toolkit for Linux.

Absolutely love DuckDB. We use it a ton in our product.

Re:Airport for DuckDB on Thursday May 22, 2025 @11:15PM (#44069538)
I love duck db. We use it a ton for indexing and organizing system / kernel level metrics exported by eBPF.

Check out our sandbox:

i will do another one on just the ABA problem and how many different ways it can put your program in the hospital.
i had help GPT help with some grammar, editing, and shortening.

The core ideas, jokes, code, and analogies are 100% mine.

Human chaos. Machine polish.

totally valid.

that benchmarking is something i should have added more alternatives to.

hope you enjoy this article on lock free programming in rust.

I used humor and analogies in the article not just to be entertaining, but to make difficult concepts like memory ordering and atomics more approachable and memorable.

We spend a lot of time on getting these measurement w eBPF

Re:Instant SQL for results as you type in DuckDB UI on Thursday April 24, 2025 @11:31PM (#43789862)
We are working on something similar over at yeet.

Except for system performance data.

https://yeet.cx/play

nope. everything off shelf was too slow.
We use duck db wasm to make live system performance dashboards based on eBPF.

It really is magic!

Re:Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution in Erlang/OTP SSH on Thursday April 17, 2025 @03:25PM (#43721070)
you could probably write a custom XDP program to parse and check for this payload using a tool like yeet and XDP_DROP it.

Re:How Netflix Accurately Attributes eBPF Flow Logs on Tuesday April 08, 2025 @06:48PM (#43627227)
we are working on a similar product that is eBPF powered and can extract flow logs:

Re:Apache ECharts on Tuesday April 08, 2025 @03:33PM (#43625641)
We are actually using Apache ECharts to visualize system performance data in real-time using eBPF.

We had to do a bunch of stuff on top of it to get it working but all in all pretty nice.

Re:BPF from Scratch in Rust on Saturday April 05, 2025 @02:39PM (#43595658)
I am the author of this blog post.

Napoleon Dynamite is one of my favorite movies. Same with Billy Madison and Austin Powers so that's what came to mind, they are classics.

I figured I had to put something in there so i wouldn't bore people to tears as it can get pretty dry pretty quickly talking about register allocation and low-level Linux kernel primitives.

Nonetheless, I hope you at least enjoyed it.

we are working on a platform that let's you measure this stuff in real-time for free.

you can check us out at https://yeet.cx

we also have a anonymous guest sandbox you can play with

Re:Whose code am I running in GitHub Actions? on Tuesday March 25, 2025 @06:35PM (#43476802)
we have a tool that does this and more...

it is as easy as running the action and writing a SQL query.

can also play with it using:

Re:The Pain That Is GitHub Actions on Thursday March 20, 2025 @09:29PM (#43430983)
we are working on a platform https://yeet.cx that lets you audit github actions pretty easily.

you just activate some probes and write SQL queries to sift through the information.

Re:IO Devices and Latency on Thursday March 13, 2025 @03:50PM (#43356646)
