I've never heard of someone using ZFS with a single disk. You're probably better off with ext4. The compression and deduplication features of ZFS is terrific on network filers. Compression could possibly improve performance sligh

If you ever have the chance to ride the Shanghai maglev from Pudong airport into the city, splurge a little bit for first class. It's incredibly relaxing before or after a long flight and watching the world fly past at 270mph and not

For context, I was working at a minimum wage job when Gmail launched. I won an eBay auction for an invite a few weeks after launch for a whopping $36 -- something I thought there would be a good chance of eventually regretting. Soon after

What do you think of Ace Player? It's a VLC branch adding BitTorrent support, which is a pretty slick addition. I've not been able to find their source code (wiki is down) but it looks decent.
