The article wasn't about using RAID, it was complaining of a lack of RAID60 and triple parity in btrfs, and a lack of volume expansion features in zfs.

Did you read the article? Did you read my post? Who are you replying to? Checksumming is great. Improving uptime (in your case, by not having to recreate the data) is great. Why do you assume I don't agree with you?

This is a ridiculous scenario. If you have some files on your laptop that are super important, you probably shouldn't `rm -rf` them 1.5 seconds after uploading to your NAS. If you were working on that file, you shouldn't wait to s

At work we use a Haskell DLL loaded into Matlab. Haskell's type system allows us to have a fast, formal core to depend on, and Matlab allows us to do ad-hoc things at run-time with a fairly powerful REPL. I mention this because there a

Using any of the btrfs supported RAID levels will improve read performance, and anything but level 1 will improve write performance. I like Raid10.

by oconnore 11y ago
People who use filesystems like this seem to completely misunderstand what RAID is for. They seem to care about their data somewhat, which of course means they have off-site backups. Given that they have reliable backups, redundancy is only

A pencil and a blank piece of paper can do so much more than just write individual words. I can get an idea down faster with paper, and those diagrams are more descriptive (easier to pick up again in 2 weeks).

-- spoilers -- The Water Knife is interesting to the extent that it creates a new sort of dystopian world, but then it doesn't do anything with it. I wanted to see characters evolve, the balance of power shift, or a meaningful escape.

How does the cost and resiliency compare to purchasing energy from the grid? For reference, I buy 100% wind source power from Xcell @ $0.14 / kWh. Reliability is generally very good, but to compare apples to apples it would cost ~$500

Ah, that makes sense. Sorry for the confusion I created. I meant that DNSSEC PKI is wrong in the sense that it is hierarchical, and the root keys are centrally controlled by a biased party. A better PKI would probably look like Convergence

by oconnore 11y ago
DNSSEC got PKI wrong, but what it got right was building authentication (DANE, etc) on a standard protocol (DNS) for exchanging key/value data. Like DNSSEC, whatever protocol comes next ought to support offline signing of k/v data

So artists that do things that are easily copied (every writer, for example) are shit and deserve nothing? Only art that is fundamentally rare is worth anything? A writer cannot host a concert. There must be a way to derive value from your

by oconnore 11y ago
The missing link you're looking for is free copying. Easily copied art that was supported by a capitalist model, where the artist paid for rent, food, etc. by selling the products of his labor? Correct, that didn't happen.

Copyright allows artists to operate in a capitalist society. It's no coincidence that the sorts of people who oppose copyright, and believe that we can live in a utopia where it's not necessary, tend to also believe in post scarci

I don't support SOPA. I do think that a law similar the the DMCA should continue to exist. However, I would like to see it amended to protect user rights to inspect and modify the software/hardware that they purchase. I would be i

I have a sneaking suspicion that we don't actually disagree on all that much, and that most people who are arguing with me here are doing so simply because I am using words that sound slightly different than the ones Corey Doctorow use

You're losing me here, but I'll try: we can't pass laws about components, but we can pass laws about complete systems? Why is that? If you can pass a law about wheels only when you've bolted four of them together and att

Huh? You seem to be stuck on something that is irrelevant to the current conversation (at least, the point that I was making). I have no interest in debating copyright with you. If you are stuck on that point, replace "copyright"

But we do pass laws about wheels. You can't drive them too fast, you must have them inspected to see if they are safe. The engines that power them mustn't emit harmful emissions. You can only drive them in certain places, and foll

The good solution is subscription fees. There is no other good solution, including advertising. A media company that can't make money on subscriptions is doomed to fail (I consider turning into a clickbait-ey shithole a failure) I bloc
