We're not going around making kitchen knives illegal. I would go out of my way to mitigate footguns where an entirely legitimate use or legitimate source of confusion would turn foul, but if you chose to go out of your way to misuse it

It is also not irresponsible, or a rug pull. The project is still available, free, and widely packaged as it always has been, just one redundant source removed. I don't get why one they would provide prebuilt binaries in the first plac

There is absolutely nothing malicious or suspicious about deciding not to provide docker images or binaries. Doing so does not hide or guard you against CVE's, which are entirely unrelated to such optional processes. Building minio is

I seriously doubt they're doing anything more than a boring shader with some decent approximation. We can stimulate light, but that's just a waste of ray tracing and introducing annoying complexities.

You wrote that the theft of freedom was "symbolic" and "just not a big deal". It also very much seems like Nishimura gives a shit by virtue of the active effort he is putting into his legal defense, consuming both time a

Sorry, being in effect banned from a country (and possibly anyone it has an active extradition agreement with, which is unrelated to EU membership) is a big deal. Imagine being a US citizen, and suddenly being banned from Texas and Utah. It

Imprisonment is the polar opposite of symbolic action.

Are you likening the UK to Russia? This is not a fictive fine, it's threats of imprisonment, and ignoring the whole thing means having to avoid travelling to or through the UK for life, and that's assuming the UK doesn't try

The threat of imprisonment if you don't pay the fine is the polar opposite of anything "symbolic". It puts individuals at significant personal risk should they ever make the mistake of traveling through the UK, in turn limiti

Threatening with prison or a fine of double digit millions of pounds doesn't seem very symbolic.

Yes and no - the kernel interfaces only reflect what the kernel itself needs. It doesn't to my knowledge maintain interfaces for the purpose of enabling out-of-tree modules. Changes would therefore need to be an improvement for in-tree

For filesystems where in-memory cache is insufficient, maybe a generic ephemeral inode/dentry cache system - L2ARC without zfsisms - would be useful... But to be fair, we are approaching the point where spinning rust stops making sense

I also imagine you wouldn't benefit from ZFS there either, even if the ARC wasn't there. You have a single application and can presumably accept occssional data loss (just fetch content upstream). Just need to handle bitrot detect

ZFS managing its own cache that sidesteps the existing pagecache infrastructure and requires dedicating more memory for it to function well than you otherwise would with any other filesystem. ZFS sidestepping conventional device and mount h

If it relied on OpenZFS, then I wouldn't be too surprised. The whole ARC thing for example, sidestepping the general block cache, feels like a major hack resulting from how it was brutally extracted from Solaris at the time... The way

Here (Denmark), blocking a drive-way would not be a parking violation handled by a parking inspector, but a traffic violation handled by the police. They would contact you directly and have you sprint to your car. Parking tickets are also c

Where I'm from there's no concept of towing on any parking violations. No one has the right to touch your vehicle, and if the police is involved they'd just contact the owner. The police would only move a car if it's a d

It is very cute. It doesn't take much to use a serial console though, or even enabling SPICE for a fully featured (and detachable).
