Opening up mosh in firewalld using firewall-cmd

Mosh (mobile shell) is a gift from the Gods(tm). Anyone with spotty internet or wireless connection has suffered the pain of a lost SSH session. Sure, one can fire up screen (or tmux as the kids are using these days), but that's an extra step and you are still using the SSH protocol.

I'm not here to tout the benefits of Mosh, you came here to open it up in your firewall.

  1. Create the following file as /etc/firewalld/services/mosh.xml
  2. firewall-cmd --add-service=mosh --permanent
  3. firewall-cmd --reload

If you tend to have a lot of sessions (not recommended), you can increase the ports, but the default should be fine for most applications.

Post explaining why objects often use less memory than arrays (in PHP)

Why objects (usually) use less memory than arrays in PHP

This is just a small post in response to [this tweet][tweet] by Julien Pauli (who by the way is the release manager for PHP 5.5). In the tweet he claims that objects use more memory than arrays in PHP. Even though it can be like that, it's not true in most cases. (Note: This only applies to PHP 5.4 or newer.)

The reason why it's easy to assume that objects are larger than arrays is because objects can be seen as an array of properties and a bit of additional information (like the class it belongs to). And as array + additional info > array it obviously follows that objects are larger. The thing is that in most cases PHP can optimize the array part of it away. So how does that work?

The key here is that objects usually have a predefined set of keys, whereas arrays don't:
