Plurrrr

Benchmarking tumblelog on a GMKtec NucBox M6 Ultra

In the evening I timed the building of Plurrrr with tumblelog on a GMKtec NucBox M6 Ultra AMD Ryzen™ 5 7640HS Mini PC with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. I used the time command. For example for the Python version of tumblelog via Docker I got:

real    0m4.389s
user    0m0.012s
sys     0m0.036s

And for the Perl version via Docker I got:

real	0m2.516s
user	0m0.018s
sys     0m0.026s

Both runs include the find command I use to determine the number of days Plurrrr has. At the time of writing this is 1864 day entries in a Markdown file of 3.1M. The tumblelog program generates for Plurrrr, at the time of writing, 3065 HTML pages and 2 feeds. The speed on the GMKtec NucBox is very impressive to me; on my Mac mini late 2014 it takes more than 30 seconds to generate Plurrrr.

Mutiny (2026)

After his billionaire industrialist boss is murdered in front of him, Cole Reed is set up to take the fall for the crime -- leaving him on the run as he works to uncover an international conspiracy.

In the evening Esme and I watched Mutiny. I liked the movie and rate it a 7 out of 10.
