the fear of missing out a better compression
  • Well that's good to know because I had some terrible luck with it about a decade ago. Although I don't think I would go back to windows, I just don't need it for work anymore and it's become far too complex.

    I've also had pretty bad luck with BTRFS though, although it seems to have improved a lot in the past 3 years that I've been using it.

    ZFS would be good but having to rebuild the kernel module is a pain in the ass because when it fails to build you're unbootable (on root). I also don't like how clones are dependant on parents, requires a lot of forethought when you're trying to create a reproducible build on eg Gentoo.

  • the fear of missing out a better compression
  • I gotcha:

    • Btrfs
      • BTree File System
        • A Copy on White file system that supports snapshots, supported mostly by
    • ZFS
      • Zetabyte File System
        • Copy on Write File System. Less flexible than BTRFS but generally more robust and stable. Better compression in my experience than BTRFS. Out of Kernel Linux support and native FreeBSD.
    • HFS+
      • what Mac uses, I have no clue about this. some Copy on Write stuff.
    • NTFS
      • Windows File System
      • From what I know, no compression or COW
      • In my experience less stable than ext4/ZFS but maybe it's better nowadays.
  • the fear of missing out a better compression
  • HFS+ has a different features set than NTFS or ext4, Apple elect to store metadata that way.

    I would imagine modern FS like ZFS or btrfs could benefit from doing something similar but nobody has chosen to implement something like that in that way.

  • If Trump’s conviction lands him in prison, the Secret Service goes too.
  • Sure, it still isn't a criminal conviction. Perhaps there was sufficient evidence for a criminal conviction and perhaps there isn't. I don't know.

    One may conclude that in all likelihood he has committed such a crime. However, we cannot claim he has been convicted for such a crime, because he wasn't (in the context of that civil matter).

    Innocent until proven guilty is a valuable principle and politics is a trivial reason to dispense with it.

  • Whilst sexual assault is terrible we must remember that was determined only on the balance of probabilities and not beyond reasonable doubt.

    It may seem like a distinction without a difference, but it's an important part of our legal system.

  • People who use distros without systemd, why do you do this?
  • It’s not too bad. I very rarely recompile everything from scratch and after I do that I just create a snapshot with btrfs. Are usually then chroot into that snapshot and compile everything natively overnight for that 5% Theoretical performance boost.

    Most recently I took that snapshot and then used btrfs send to adapt it to a laptop as well and that worked quite well actually.

    Everything I install is typically through flatpack or distro box just like silver blue. This means install times are pretty much okay but I have a huge amount of flexibility in the way the system works

    Also heaps of binary packages as well, so that’s not too bad. The binary packages much slower than both arch and Alpine but not a lot slower than for example Fedora.
