The snapshots don't help with the speed. Instead, they make sure the files aren't changing / being deleted between when the rsync starts and finishes.

The docs for my version of rsnapshot say not to use '--link-dest' if GNU cp is available, because the script will use 'cp -l' instead when copying "daily-1" to "daily-0" (for example). This is befor

I bought it when there was a kind of 2-for-1 deal with Rust in Motion a while back. I haven't spent too much time reading it though. From what I've browsed it seems competently written. It seems to cover the topics of typical inte

Yep. We use rsnapshot with btrfs snapshots on Debian / Ubuntu. You can set up multiple generations easily. Efficient storage using hard links. Very reliable.

Well, I don't know about the cat command (though that _is_ appropriate for something like the Redox OS, which aspires to be a pure-Rust desktop operating system). But there is a broad-based desire to rewrite libraries in Rust for a cou

If you find a good niche, and develop a lot of domain expertise in that area, you can likely make it to the senior levels of an IC, even if you don't have the most super-awesome technical skills. The trick (and of course there is a tri

I would categorize a senior field applications engineer to be more IC than sales. But some people move directory into sales. I don't know if this counts as steering an existing technical career or switching careers entirely.

Edit: Actually, the material issues mentioned above probably won't be an issue, as long as the confinement is good. You still have the issue of keeping the plasma hot enough for long enough. But the scaling issue doesn't go away

It is typically assumed that by the time you are making a Dyson swarm, that most life exists digitally. And spread out through the solar system. So in the best case scenario, you are powering computronium, upon which trillions of sophonts l

We do something similar with btrfs as the filesystem. There have been some issues with btrfs itself, but the LXC side of this has worked pretty good. Any significant storage (such as project directories) is done with a bind mount into the

I agree with all that. The only way something like PDDB would work in practice to help the people intended, is for the software to become very widely used. For example, where everyone stores their pornography in a PDDB. In that case, you
