I've been using Minio in ZeroFS' [0] CI (a POSIX compliant filesystem that works on top of s3). I guess I'll switch to MicroCeph [1]. [0] https://github.com/Barre/ZeroFS [1] https://canonical-

You definitely do have to worry about a schema. Except it’s ill defined and scattered across your business logic.

R2 is very high latency with huge variance, definitely lower quality than S3. In my experience even backblaze b2 performs (way) better. Their community forums are full of such reports. KV is so expensive that it’s barely usable, and like R2

The easy way to achieve that, is using ZeroFS NBD server with ZFS L2ARC (L2ARC with local storage and “main” pool on ZeroFS).

I use Foyer in-memory (not hybrid) in ZeroFS [0] and had a great experience with it. The only quirk I’ve experienced is that in-memory and hybrid modes don’t share the same invalidation behavior. In hybrid mode, there’s no way to await a va

Shameless plug: https://github.com/Barre/ZeroFS I initially developed it for a usecase where I needed to store billions of tiny files, and it just requires a single s3 bucket as infrastructure.

It’s interesting how science can become closer to pseudoscience than proper research through paper-milling. It seems like that with such small groups and effects you could run the same “study” again and again until you get the result that y

Even though I don’t buy that LLMs are going to replace developers and quite agree with what is said, this is more of a critique of LLMs as English-to-code translators. LLMs are very useful for many other things. Researching concepts, for on

There's an NFSv3 COMMIT operation, combined with a "durability" marker on writes. fsync could translate to COMMIT, but if writes are marked as "durable", COMMIT is not called by common clients, and if writes are mar
