I won't speak for Oracle because it's always been a "if you have the money you can get a custom patch for the behavior you want" game. But for Postgres, you contact the developers. If your problems are costing you so muc

I use ZFS compression so I don't use borg's native compression either. I'm currently using lz4 but I will soon be moving to zstd which will gain me even more performance with similar or better compression.

I use full disk encryption, so I don't care about the encryption feature. But if this is going to be faster than borg for backing up data and deduplication because it's in Go and not in Python I will gladly switch.

Can you even get an iPhone for $700 anymore? When I got the 6S (not plus) with 128GB memory for myself and my wife they were $1100 each I think?

Yes, it's expensive to re-encode video to a different resolution or quality.

Maybe you have 4K source video and you happen to watch it sometimes on your mobile phone or 1080P TV. You're gonna need a good CPU.

Musk already stated Tesla will be a battery company. If he's telling his investors that, what do you think he's going to do?

You have to tune the parameters at filesystem creation time if you care about small file performance. It was designed for large files.

Actually it's better to just do mirrors. Avoid RAIDZ at all costs if you care about performance and the ability to resilver in a reasonable amount of time.

The problem is that Redhat and others are refusing to challenge the norm and break away from the "freeze the release; backport fixes" mantra. Stop backporting fixes. You're forking the codebase. Ship exactly what upstream pro

And if you're on a FreeBSD box, just pkg install fastnetmon Glad to see this software exists. Had to help build a poor man's version of it at a previous job and it was half baked due to lack of time.
