How can they charge a product that's not their own?

What do you mean by not accepting? The only concern is the distribution and you would mean you don't accept the fact that it can't go in the kernel or be released as part of the distro installer? It's not hard to download zfs

What are they going to do about it? They can't just relicense OpenZFS. The only attack vector is suing Ubuntu for distributing zfs because Canonical's lawyers think that's fine but even then, you're still free to use it
514.

Licensing issue is only for distribution. You're free to use it without breaching the license. Not sure why people won't just use it. How is zfs using too much memory? zfs can run on a 2GB server (with some swap). Any laptop would

Well, I always hear about data loss incidents whenever btrfs shows up in HN comments, so I thought making it a default in Fedora desktop sounded like a big deal as there must've been a good reason on why RH dropped it.

I don't know about bcachefs' capability on this but with zfs, you can do an instant snapshot of MySQL/PostgreSQL data directory and call it a backup instead of fighting the tough fight that is database backup with their dump

ResHat (Fedora) is definitely not friendly against zfs. Probably because they think Oracle will never help and would rather use something else. But if you're on Ubuntu or any other distro that require less efforts, you're missing

How is it a problem from the user's point of view? If you're on Ubuntu, even if you have ext4 on root, all you do is install a single package and allocate an empty partition for zfs and you're good to go and it's stupid

I wonder how Fedora started using btrfs as the default for their desktop version when RedHat had deprecated it years ago. Never used btrfs but I see corruption reports in here everytime I read about it, and it's been in development for

It's just cool but practically I never check weather until I'm about to leave home and then I'll just check a local weather app on my phone which should give more accurate and detailed info than a service that covers the enti

What these smart contracts and whatnot aren't taking into account is that people are dumb. Not sure how many more examples are needed before people realize the rules need to be a bit more flexible to accommodate human mistakes. Those p

Why are you comparing two trusted parties' communication against random amount of counterparty transactions? When it comes to cryptocurrency, suddenly comment quality goes down the floor in HN.

Would use RHEL variants if it wasn't for not supporting zfs as good as Ubuntu. zfs is too good to miss out and Ubuntu makes it so easy to use it. Ubuntu LTS is all that matters to me.

How is it so different? It's still less bleeding edge than Fedora. It always makes me feel people are making such a big fuss about it being slightly ahead of RHEL than slightly behind which has the benefit of having fixes earlier than

Do you realize /bin is a symlink to /usr/bin these days?

Don't you need sbin in PATH anyway when you want to run them with sudo?

Ever run 'rm' from shell history with Ctrl-r with a quick muscle memory and next moment the file was gone? A cat needs to step on up arrow and enter to repeat a command as well.

> `alias rm='rm -i'` Done that 15 years ago. Ended up using -f because the confirmation got annoying fast. Landed onto using trash-cli and never had to bother anything when rm'ing. You can add 'trash-empty 30' in

Those are all jokes asking for trouble. Glad you've diligently followed that rule for over 10 years but think of average users. It's also very possible that you actually want the file back later even though you thought you didn&#x

Are people still using raw "rm" and not aliasing to "trash-put"? People should start making their shells act like in the 2000's and not 1990. I only use raw "rm" when I need to delete a large folder that s

Why do I feel you have emotional attachment to cryptocurrency failure?

Why isn't btrfs declared abandoned and just let people move on? Everytime I read about it, someone is losing data. Thank god Ubuntu makes zfs very easy to use. No reason to even consider touching btrfs.

You talk as if immigration is some kind of switch but Japan has been a mono culture and they don't speak anything but Japanese, so it'll be hard to have that many foreigners to support the population decline. And then pensions and
