I won't trust OneDrive after they cancelled their unlimited plans. Yes, I understand it's unrealistic for such a thing to exist but Microsoft offered it anyway, then took it away when people actually used it. Plus having it forced

It's so close though. BTRFS and Ceph both have what I want, they're just unstable. The BcacheFS dev has told me he's close but not quite there yet. Hopefully one of the other solutions will work, otherwise I'll just have

I had a look at HAMMER as it seemed it might meet my requirements [0] but I couldn't figure out whether it supports replication or erasure coding. Don't suppose anyone here knows? [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/

This might be somewhat off topic but I'm desperate. I've been looking for a way to store files: - Using parity rather than mirroring. I'm happy to deal with some loss of IOPS in exchange for extra usable storage. - That deals

I like the idea of SmugMug but I have a few quibbles with it: - As far as I can tell, there's no RAW support ( http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/93278 ), admittedly this is the biggest probl

That's actually the best case for DRM, since Adobe's has been cracked for ages. Just buy the book, do whatever Adobe wants, then run DeDRM [0] on it and enjoy your DRM free ePub. [0]: https://apprenticealf.wordpress.com

It's unlikely that he did it in a single transaction, he more likely split it up over a few days. Even a year ago, Bitcoin daily exchange volume was ~$160M, so he wouldn't have had too many problems.

Looks really nice! I'd love to see vips in the benchmark comparison, perhaps a Halide-based resizer too as those are the fastest I've found so far. Perhaps GraphicsMagick too, as I believe it's meant to be faster than ImageMa

How is this relevant to the question raised by the person you're replying to? You've raised an entirely different concern and ignored the question. Why did you post this as a reply rather than a top level comment?

As someone who's actually visited Russia (and is married to a Russian), you can't compare Russia and the US at all. Russians deeply respect the people who lost their lives in the past but in the present, a few years military servi

As someone who's worked on a moderately large Django project, I have to disagree. There's a lot of stuff done for you without you seeing it (like Admin and the default QuerySets + Managers) but it's fairly easy to understand,

It costs a judge absolutely nothing, as it's the judge's job. What does it "cost" when a judge jails a murderer or fines someone with unpaid parking tickets? The scarier thing to consider is what does it cost not to ho

Fuel cells and batteries are fundamentally pretty similar. Fuel cells require that you put in a lot of not necessarily clean energy in a central place to generate hydrogen, then distribute that hydrogen to vehicles, which then use it to dri
