They're less labels for purpose and more labels for lifecycle - data you'd consider "cached" can appear just about anywhere. From what I remember (corrections more than welcome): Active is fully-fledged in use memory, m

Just got it working - Yubikey support seems fine.

There's code for it at least. Can't verify if it works right now due to problems building on FreeBSD.

It's responsive and fast for you in a single fullscreen 2560x1600 term while catting a large file in a split? Performance is a lot more reasonable if you're using more traditionally-sized terms and let Terminator manage the split

It's less about the stability and more about data integrity. Crashes suck, but they suck a hell of a lot less than corrupt filesystems and backups.

tmux is my main use-case for a fast terminal. Even something as simple as resizing a split in my main 266x188 session while nothing else is happening makes Terminator (VTE-based) into a juddering laggy mess. urxvt's nice and responsiv

The filesystem and API support is still there, and System Restore still uses them. vssadmin doesn't offer to let you create shadows, but you can still make them via PowerShell: (Get-WmiObject -list win32_shadowcopy).Create(&quot

NTFS supports snapshots, which it calls Volume Shadow Copies.

Browns are a bit quieter, but still quite clacky when you bottom the keys out. You can reduce that quite a bit using o-ring dampeners under every keycap. You might also look at a Matias Quiet Pro - they use custom switches based off old Alp

It's lacking a good deal of polish, but it's a good effort. It's more or less a direct clone of Frontier/FE, practically to a fault, though sadly without any of the original ships due to copyright restrictions. Surpris

I've experienced silent corruption on NTFS. And it still modifies data in-place, so an unlucky power failure or reboot could still cause data loss. Thankfully Microsoft already have an answer, ReFS: http://msdn.microsoft.c

You can set the "copies" property to 2 or 3 even with a single disk, so if one dodgy sector blats one of your files, ZFS can still recover: https://blogs.oracle.com/relling/entry/zfs_copies_and_data_p...

They do. Motherboard vendors often fail to support it, unfortunately, but the CPUs generally aren't the weak link.
