Because ZFS is not supported on OpenBSD. In fact he does mention in the beginning of the article that he was surprised that none of the NAS related file-systems are not supported by OpenBSD. On the other side, ZFS is an overly complicated

The section on "signature hashes" was kept short on purpose because anything that relates to real cryptography or security use-cases should require at least using a high-quality (as in audited) high-level library (like `libsodium`

Currently I would recommend Restic < https://restic.net/ >, which I use it both for personal and professional backups. It can have some rough edges, but all-in-all it's the "best" (as in a good balance b

A few years ago I've written my own (still experimental) in Rust: https://github.com/volution/vonuvoli-scheme The main usecase for this was exactly scripting and systems-programming in Scheme.

I've quickly played with it, and from what I've seen it's almost perfect for scripting, at least due to the following reasons: * it can be linked statically, thus it should run on any Linux with a simple copy; (not by defaul

I like the look-and-feel a lot! It's like sitting in front of a terminal: monospace font, yellow/orange on black. (The contrast is perhaps too small, thus making it harder to read.)

I see you have `RE` articles! I love this idea (and in fact I use this myself)! I think if someone has something to say about what someone else has written, then the best way to do so is by writing another document, linking to the original

Would you be so kind to also share the raw data? (Especially the links that you've collected?) Also it would be nice to also assess the following: * how many require JavaScript to actually display something; (i.e. opening them withou

Very nice look-and-feel! It resembles perfectly reading a scientific paper (but without double columns and zig-zag scrolling through PDF)! The text is perhaps a little bit too small by default, but nothing that can't be solved with so

I couldn't agree more with you about Ansible... I've started using Ansible in two projects, and I think it was enough for me... Ansible is perhaps great when you have granular tasks, that maybe don't need to communicate bet

Well, the camera is already ~1.5-2K EUR (without lens), thus I think the price already covers it... But if I must put a price on it, I would say ~100-200 EUR, but then it should come with at least 5 years of updates, and it should work on

I am an amateur photographer, and I can't understand why the major camera brands (Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji, etc.) aren't open at least to the concept of SDK's to control their cameras (let alone opening the lens mount specifi

Good point! I'll add to that READMEs, LICENSEs, SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials), example configuration files, etc. How to supply all those files when all one gets is a single binary executable? Simple! Bundle everything in the exe

I've just installed `golang-github-burntsushi-toml` that should be the well known Go TOML library; asking `rpm -q -l` shows mainly `*.go` files, thus I assume they are mainly used as build dependencies?
