Blender, Krita are notable FOSS projects being sustainable through donations. I'm not saying it's easy, just that it's not impossible.

Yes, that is the one thing that keeps me from using Restic as my backup solution. Unfortunately it does not seem like it's a prioritised feature given that it has been planned since late 2014.

I disagree, these are VERY old papers (~30 years old) of comparisons containing very little data from what I can see at a quick glance. I saw a talk a couple of years ago by Tanenbaum where he said he would be ok with Minix being 20% slower

Yes, there are still some stability issues though. Phoronix benchmarked the Linux kernel built with Clang/LLVM against GCC recently: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=clang-li...

I have to disagree, -flto=thin is faster in compile time, but in performance I get better results with -flto=n in GCC. Also with FDO I get better results with GCC over Clang/LLVM, my main test subjects are rendering (Blender), archiver
