> Like… has anyone done a Jepsen-like stress test on rsyslogd and shared the results? I’ve half-assedly looked before and not been able to find anything.
I've not used rsyslogd specifically, but I don't see how you'd have any issues with the log volume you described.

Project mention: Zeroserve: A zero-config web server you can script with eBPF | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-06-06
You just helped to dredge up a memory, which brought me back to this fascinating project:
https://redbean.dev
If this piques your interest, make sure to check out the portable C library used to create it, which is also fascinating:

stress-ng
This is the stress-ng upstream project git repository. stress-ng will stress test a computer system in various selectable ways. It was designed to exercise various physical subsystems of a computer as well as the various operating system kernel interfaces.
Funny that it talks about matrixprod, which I think is not that relevant as benchmark — unless you care about x87 performance specifically. I recently sent a pull request to try to address that in a generic manner: https://github.com/ColinIanKing/stress-ng/pull/561
Yet I'm still surprised by this benchmark. On both Zen2 and Zen4 in my tests (5900X is Zen3), matrixprod still benefits from hyperthreading and scales, unlike what the article shows.
All of this is tangential of course, as I'd tend to agree that CPU utilization% is just an imprecise metric and should only be used as a measure of "is something running".

Integration with hev-socks5-tunnel for blazing-fast speeds

Nope, because we already could have had that with VR/AR glasses, and while there are some (even impressive) options now, they aren't mainstream. Neither are the 'apps', nor the content interoperable, exchangable.
Furthermore I see nothing wrong with the desktop metaphor, it's just that we mostly only had a miserable magnifying glass, giving only a small viewport into a crammed childs toy, instead of real large high-resolution screens as can be had now, or sensible virtual desktops for more common sizes. To be expanded by "Metisse", an early 2.5D extension for FVWM, and later "User Interface Faćades". Maybe with some Zoomable UI sprinkled on top, like in https://eaglemode.sourceforge.net/ or whatever the clandestine weirdos from https://arcan-fe.com/ may come up with. (IF. EVER.)

libxo
The libxo library allows an application to generate text, XML, JSON, and HTML output using a common set of function calls. The application decides at run time which output style should be produced.
I wouldn't have said this is anything new.
FreeBSD has libxo[0] integrated into some of its tools:
