// Forgive me father for I have sinned - with the bag of crap written in the lines below.
// When running multiple threads (~500) concurrently, the damn OS commands fail
// at a 1% rate for no apparent reason.
// There is no error message, or any indication of failure, they just don't happen
// and come bite you in the ass.
// After much frustration, I decided to try 3 things:
// 1. sacrifice a goat. - did not go as planned.
// 2. semaphoring this shit. did not change anything...
// 3. after each failed command, I will try and verify if it succeeded or not.
// If not I'll try it 4 more times.
// I am now going home to take a hot shower, and cry laying on the shower floor. and /or sacrifice
// a few more goats.
