@ass.golf Not me lawling my face off on the floor copter reading that you had no idea about Taco Time.

We even had one up here in Anchorage (Alaska!) way back in the late 80's early 90's.

I think the last time I had them was in '93 in Eugene, Or.

Nost. Olgia.

All the love to my transgender friends and family, no matter where on the spectrum you land, or where in the journey you are.

You matter to me. I love you.

Any person who continuously and maliciously weaponizes willful ignorance is perpetuating violence against all those around them.

I refuse to interact with violent offenders, and I will purge my friends list.

This is my line.

Make it yours.

She's been a friend for decades, and he was a really good partner to her. It's just terrible.

So, trump is jacking up the prices on Americans with his idiotic 25% tariffs that CONSUMERS pay, but hey, at least you got to openly show your hate of immigrants and got Black History Month, Women's Month, and Pride Month events canceled, so there's that.

Hateful jackasses.

Latest version of my picoSysMon port has been stable for the last 24 hours, so that's a nice milestone.

Now, does that mean that it's been up the whole time? I don't think so. I should probably track uptime as well, so I'll have to add that as an enhancement: github.com/akhepcat/pic...

The clearest example of why the younger generations need to be more involved in politics, if only to get rid of that classist, idealized 1950's version of America that permeates our policies, and the older generations that can't let them go.

I wish I could see it, but I'll be in a show of my own!

Singing, playing bass, and a special guest Viola feature!

ah, by default the auto collection is disabled.

using the profile from that link, i get
gc threshold: 127216 (bytes) out of 440kb

gc every loop results in no issues over an hour.

trying auto collection now

once i start adding more libraries and sensor support, yeah, probably some more focused collection could be useful

03.12.2024 00:50 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

yep, just added a gc.collect() at the end of my main loop, and that keeps the rest of things happy so far.

we'll see what happens over the next hour or so!

ah, a quick gc.collect() sure prevents that nasty memory leak.

now to see what else is maybe causing "fun" times

Graph of memory usage linearly decreasing over 60 minutes

Graph of memory usage linearly decreasing over 60 minutes

you know, the more i graph the stats, the more it looks like a memory leak
