  Let's say you decide that you'd like to see what some other processes on your system are doing to a subtree of the file system. You don't want to have to change how those processes work -- you just want to see what files those processes create and delete. One approach would be to just scan the file-system tree periodically, enumerating its contents. But when the file system tree is large and the change rate is low, that's not an optimal thing to do.

• OpenShift Router Sharding for Production and Development Traffic

  As an OpenShift cluster grows by helping developers deliver features and applications faster, the efficiency of resource use becomes a central concern. Many OpenShift rollouts start with at least two physical clusters, one for development and one for production. While this has the perceived advantage of simplifying the mental model and some administrative aspects, OpenShift’s automated resilience, enhanced access controls, and advanced Routing features can logically isolate dev and prod environments on a single cluster. The Kubernetes scheduler at OpenShift’s core maximizing the density of applications running on each node. With additional configuration, further density and compute savings are possible through features like Quality of Service QoS.

• Extreme downhill free-riding game 'Descenders' just had a huge update, needs a quick fix on Linux

  Descenders is an extreme downhill free-riding game currently in Early Access and their first major update just went live. I've been quite a big fan of it, as it showed a massive amount of promise at the initial release. I held off on covering this update right away, since the released version of the update broke the 64bit Linux version. Nearly a week later and no fix, so here's how you can fix it manually: Right click on it in your Steam library and go to properties, then hit the Local Files tab up the top and press Browse Local Files… once there, open the Descenders_Data folder, go into the Plugins folder and delete "libfmod.so".

With 26 days left to go, they've hit $28K of their $30K goal, so it looks like they will manage it easily. Inspired by the likes of Diablo, ADOM, Darkest Dungeon and more, they have a lot to live up to in terms of their inspiration. What makes it sound quite interesting, is the survival elements you heal to deal with like diseases, broken bones, mental health and more.
