I also find the lack of ports in a Framework frustrating. My Thinkpad has USB-A USB-A USB-A USB-C HDMI Ethernet SD Charging and a Framework has only half of that. Most of these are used at least once per

Is it technically possible to obtain a wildcard cert from LetsEncrypt, but then use OpenSSL / X.509 tooling to derive a restricted cert/key to be deployed on servers, which only works for specific domains under the wildcard?

Why not add this approach to postgres as a "JSONL3" type? It'd be nice to update postgres JSON values without the big write amplification.

Yes, that's what we do: Migrations with proper sum types and exhaustiveness checking.

Which part of the nix language looks like Perl? I actually find the language simple and easy to learn: It's just untyped lambda calculus with dicts and lists. (I, too, would like static types though.)

It's just all hacks. It should use `sleep`, period. Sleeping is an OS scheduling task. Use the OS syscall that does that. As is suggested on the Github issue that Microsoft has been ignoring for half a year.

Please do not use second resolution mtime (cannot represent the high accuracy mtime that modern OSs use, so packing and unpacking , or causes differences eg in rsync), or build anything new using DEFLATE (it is slow and cannot really be mad

It is still not a proper fix. It is still busy-looping 100% CPU. Given that Github Actions is quite popular, probably wasting large amount of energy. But probably good at generating billable Actions minutes. One can only hope that not many

Disclose publicly then, if you haven't already? Definitely makes things safer than users not knowing about them.

Curious if the same technique would also work on Wayland, given one of its design goals is higher cross-app security compared to Xorg.

SSH has low throughput on high latency links, but not because it uses TCP. It is because SSH hardcodes a too-small maximum window size in its protocol, in addition to the one of TCP. This SSH window size limit is per ssh "stream",

I'm still not sure which exact Ceph concept you are referring to. Thre is the "minimum allocation size" [1], but that is currently 4 KB (not MB). There is also striping [2], which is the equivalent of RAID-10 functionality t

You are conflating Consistency and Durability in a way that is not necessary. FS snapshotting can be useful to work on files on which fsync() is never called, but for which you need a consistent cross-file view nontheless while the system i

by nh2 1y ago
I believe it is helpful because you can stop an app (such as a DB), FS-snapshot, and then e.g. rsync the snapshot or use any other file based backup tool, and this snapshot is fast and will be correct. Doing the same with a block device sna

How can I, with dm/lvm: * For some detected corruption, be told directly which files are affected? * Get filesystem level snapshots that are guaranteed to be consistent in the way ZFS and CephFS snapshots guarantee?

I don't see how the journal delete depends any more on a specific file system's behaviour than the main data write: If a specific file system can decide to automatically fsync unlink(), it can equally decide to automatic fsync wri
