There are tools like gocryptfs or cryfs that solve that problem to a degree. cryfs even makes the directory structure and file names opaque with chunking the encrypted data in small blocks but this turns quickly into a benchmark of your syn

You can always use zvols and just use ext4+luks on that. There is also work on ZFS native encryption that looks pretty promising, not sure if it's ready yet.

ZFS is also crazy good on surviving disks with bad sectors (as long as they still respond fast). Check out this paper: https://research.cs.wisc.edu/wind/Publications/zfs-corruptio... They even spread the metadata

Thanks for pointing that out! Crazy! If you don't need the fancy click&play cloud experience you are so much better off with online.net or hetzner.de IMHO.

Not sure, I have a credit card there and 0€ balance, can't find the knob for the free tier, when I create a f1-micro I'm billed. Maybe I have to put up money?

Smoking a very small dose of weed has the same effect on me. However it's difficult to get the dosage right (if it's too much I'm basically unable to do anything) and it's not really working for difficult programming. Ho

What you can read about the topic in Germany is that the switch had a lot of ideology behind it and after more than 13 years people are still unhappy. You have to consider this is an administration of one of the largest cities in Germany wi

This was probably fallout from the switch to GTK3 and is unlikely the fault of KDE (that only configures the GTK theme and nothing more). Eclipse and GTK3 was so broken (is it better now? I switched to IntelliJ) that almost everone recommen

I know this sounds ridiculous but KDE/Plasma5 is great if you manage to change the style to something else. Numix + icons is a good candidate. You can choose QtCurve for KDE/Qt5/Qt4 apps and skin that with Numix + Numix Color
