If as some have commented, parts of the MIT license attribution were removed, Automattic might not have been legally allowed to distribute the software either. At which points the involved lawyers would have a field day trying to figure out

I do not even dislike curl|sh for security reasons. Package managers go to great lengths to provide a reproducible runtime within them. When was the last time you saw 'curl | env -i sh -C' as instruction? If the script fails halfw

It really depends on the system. I recently got my hands on a Acer Aspire E-571 (Haswell i3-4030U) and suspend/resume in X with i915kms literally just worked installing FreeBSD 11.0-RC3 from installer and xorg/xdm/openbox fro

Why would your zpool be in any danger from the upgrade? If you upgrade via freebsd-update and have renamed your custom kernel (and not named it GENERIC), then freebsd-update will tell you when to build and install a new version of your kern

I think that should read that these chipsets were added to iwn, considering iwn has been in since at least 8.0 (going by my very non-scientific manpage search).

Correct, it is full disk encryption instead of dataset encryption. But on the other hand, if you install 11.0 from installer and chose Auto(ZFS) with EncryptedZFS and MBR(GPT) then you will get a GeliBoot installation. There is no boot pool

I would disagree with that. Github shows a lot of the benefits of centralization, where they get network effects from forks and pull requests when these do not have to cross git server boundaries. Using external services in your build proce

Just a couple of weeks ago, I upgraded my home storage system from 9 disks (4x3 raidz) from the same manufacturer with partially consecutive serials. Now its 18 disks (3x6 raidz2) from 3 different manufacturers and every vdev has 2 of each.

You can argue that the earth is shaped like a torus. I can argue that the moon is violet. That is not the point, and has nothing to do with the merit of the argument. Setting this aside, all usage hours are not equal. How do you compare an

No, datasets do not map to vdevs (mirrors). Since it came up in another comment as well: a dataset is a child object of a pool, but it is also the root-object of a subtree that consumes storage in that pool. To the user this dataset is pres

This is how FreeBSD's GELI (which has authenticated encryption for blockdevices) did it. For every 4k data block it presented up the stack, it consumed 9 512 sectors on disk. Each of them contained 480 bytes, the rest for MAC. With 4k
