Scrubbing the entire raid volume is significantly different from scrubbing every piece of data as it gets written/read. First, in between your monthly/weekly scrubs your disks/controllers will be silently corrupting data, pos

A corrupt file in ZFS indicates multiple broken disks. Copy the file in from a backup, use raidz3 and/or set copies=2 for critical zfs volumes. https://blogs.oracle.com/relling/entry/zfs_copies_and_data_p...

This is one of the key strengths of ZFS. Your log file would be silently corrupted without checksumming.

Sure, it's not as free as platforms in niche markets. I don't have access to much of the equipment I own, but I don't care about a lot of that. My phone falls into that category. Anyway, it's all about relative freedom.

For the first point, perfect is the enemy of done, and that's (to me) quite evident in the progression of iOS and Android over the years, those platforms having different thresholds for what they think is acceptable for release. I unde

Python and Ruby are just as bad as Perl for this. Python being the least fluent of the three for scripting. If you want a proper language to support your scripting goals, then if you go right up to something like Ocaml or Haskell you'l

ZFS is not limited to your concept of a file system either. Any change is represented by the addition of a series of one or more blocks, which can be seen as direct equivalents to blobs in git. ZFS is copy-on-write, so you can always refere

One argument you might make is that the democracy peace theory is really just the Anglosphere. As Bismarck put it, "never underestimate the fact that Britain and America speak the same language." You wouldn't imagine a civil

I'm not quite up to speed on how bad the UK's and US's electoral systems were at the time, but a lot of the British Empire had universal suffrage, e.g. AU, NZ. Germany had tiered suffrage until the 1918 revolution. "This
