It applies the idea to team availability, information sharing, open-source dependencies, supply-chain risk, and fan-out database queries, including how parallel queries inherit the maximum latency of their individual shard queries. ### Source excerpt My son's swim meet is coming up.

Ja chciałem wykorzystać xz do kompresji logów, które bywają przydatne ale przez większość czasy tylko zajmują miejsce :simple_smile: W /etc/logrotate.conf dopisujemy: compresscmd /usr/bin/xz uncompresscmd /usr/bin/unxz compressext .xz compressoptions -9T2 compressoptions można nie ustawiać bo domyślnie ma wartość -9 (czyli kompresuj na maxa), mój dodatek (czyli -T2) użyje dwóch wątków procesora gdy już ten mechanizm zostanie zimplementowany (bo na razie nie jest) :simple_smile:
