Application startup timing script
Snap speed improvements with new compression algorithm! | Ubuntu — The results in the table are average values over multiple runs. The standard deviation is ~0.7 seconds for the cold startups, and ~0.1 seconds for the hot startups. The use of the LZO compression offers 40-74% cold startup improvements over the XZ compression. On the Kubuntu 18.04 system, which still has Chromium available as a DEB package, the LZO-compressed snap now offers near-identical startup performance! On Fedora 32 Workstation, the LZO-compressed snap cold startup is faster than the RPM package by a rather respectable 33% (actual ~5.0 seconds difference). Hot startups are largely independent of the packaging format selection.

Study shows which messengers leak your data, drain your battery, and more | Ars Technica — The researchers behind Monday’s report, Talal Haj Bakry and Tommy Mysk, found that Facebook Messenger and Instagram were the worst offenders. As the chart below shows, both apps download and copy a linked file in its entirety—even if it’s gigabytes in size. Again, this may be a concern if the file is something the users want to keep private.

Episode 196: Amazon Bottlerocket's Distro Sep 01, 2020

Show notes

Bottlerocket is a Linux-based open-source operating system that is purpose-built by Amazon Web Services for running containers on virtual machines or bare metal hosts. Most customers today run containerized applications on general-purpose operating systems that are updated package-by-package, which makes OS updates difficult to automate.
