Andrew has a few videos about waste and the waste industry in countries such as India, Indonesia and Bangladesh.

For instance, in Delhi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Fojw7yviYU

what a "real life application workload" looks like is entirely dependent on your use case, but fio is very widely used in the storage industry

it's a good first approximation to test the cartesian product of

- sequential/random

- reads/writes

- in arbitrary sizes

- with arbitrarily many workers

- with many different backends to perform such i/o including io_uring

and its reporting is solid and thorough

implementing the same for your specific workload is often not trivial at all

Well, it's not clear to me why we're terming these as silly. They mostly seem simple, instead, to me.
