About hillion.co.uk

Jake Hillion's personal blog publishes technical deep dives into his development and debugging work, and progress on projects he builds, including ogygia-nix and hearthd.

Recent posts cover ogygia-irisd, a peer-to-peer binary cache for NixOS clusters that is part of the Ogygia project, which aims to build a fleet management platform for NixOS. Another post describes debugging a kernel problem found after deploying a sched_ext scheduler, reproduced with scx_chaos, a sched_ext scheduler for testing processes under unusual scheduling behaviour, with patches sent upstream. The author also wrote about Void Processes, the subject of his Part III (M.Eng) dissertation on statically distributing fine-grained privileges to application processes on Linux.

Other posts include Chia database torrents for users with sync problems and an account of a compromised CI server.

Product: Personal technical blog with write-ups on NixOS, Linux kernel debugging and related open-source projects.
