Sure it's possible to use Linux on the desktop. It's also possible to find some laptops that are well supported. Do I want to replace Lightroom, Sketch, Pixelmator, 1Password and Alfred with inferior replacements? No, because my l

A bit flip on a pool without redundancy will result in an unrecoverable error. There are no recovery tools for ZFS. Since ZFS caches aggressively in RAM it's conceivable that faulty RAM may write corrupt data to disk.

Open source is catnip for software engineers. It's worth remembering that ethics go beyond software rights.

Using the filesystem as a package database just makes too much sense.

I'm not aware of any Proof-of-Storage systems but Storj and similar projects are combining blockchain cryptocurrency with p2p storage. It's an interesting idea.

A major point of containerization is more efficient resource utilization, memory in particular. How has it come to this?

This is a really bleak future but all the signs are pointing towards you being right. Federated systems are out.

Exactly. Apple should build the post-Cloud era instead of trying to beat Google on their home turf. If Tim Cook really cares about privacy, bringing user's data back into their own hands is the only way to go.

I think in the long run Apple will try to move developers over to iPad Pro. Rudimentary Xcode functionality is already in place on iOS.
