That position might have had some merit if the replacement wasn't lignite burning plants, which score way worse on safety.

All other things being equal, there's nothing wrong with trying to shove computers into a car. Trouble starts when the computer is networked and therefore vulnerable to more attacks. And for networked computers, security updates are ta

It depends on how you define "serious". If it works for 99% people with a net positive and it doesn't work at all for 1%, is it serious enough to keep the old version? My experience says that it will get steamrolled and the 1

Do you know a carrier which you have any leverage against? I don't. Better get a physical SIM. Oh, you do? It's still a single point of failure. Customer support servers down? Should have gotten a physical SIM. Unbeatable servers?

And when that process fails, what recourse does the average Joe have? Especially when you can't afford to have much downtime between phones.

It's the opposite. Libreboot removes parts of coreboot which don't fit into its philosophy.

That's right. You can look for signs of what the piece of code does, or what the memory is used for. Functions will betray they purpose by doing calls to external libraries. Those libraries have functions with certain names and their a

Sometimes our choices lead us to results that no one wanted. For a classical example, check out "tragedy of the commons". In those cases, you do want someone to enforce cooperation from outside, and this is what's happening t

That's the problem. Now your carrier is a single point of failure, and the typical person has zero leverage over the carrier.

OP's question: "Ask HN: Why isn't BTRFS the default FS in home-oriented Linux distributions?"

by rhn_mk1 3y ago
One thing the sibling did not mention is you can use btrfs send/receive to create dead easy, fast, and simple to restore incremental backups.

I presume it's somewhere in the incomprehensible explanation :)

Identity of composition implies molecular identity :) Or some other kind of physical identity, if you happen to be made of something other than molecules (plasma?). The question of identity of nature is more interesting, but it's also

I think we can both see that the question has been about defaults, which differ between Ubuntu server and standard.

As much as I like Quanta Magazine, they dropped the ball on this one. I didn't understand anything of the summary of the paper. I hope they attach some images to the next piece about topology...

No one designing defaults for a home distro will tune it for the server use case by default, so raid 5 considerations are totally irrelevant to OP's question.

In my experience, btrfs has one significant disadvantage over ext4. It's the behaviour once the partition is full. It's relatively easy to get stuck in a state where you can't delete anything because of the fullness. In some

It's unnoticeable when you don't reevaluate your choices. Once you get into the habit of automatic snapshots, ext4's lack of snapshotting is very noticeable.

Home distributions are very much not the right place to look for raid 5. That's small server territory.

Identity is not provable. A being cannot access anything beyond its own senses, so who says you aren't the only one of your kind, stuck in some kind of a VR set? Heck, identity is not even right. Even twins with identical DNA are not i

You don't need to sign all messages. Only those coming from the critical component, like the key fob, and the only parts that need to check signatures are the critical ones from the perspective of theft. Once you replace the key fob, y

I think the crux of my issue is that, as a meta-ethical anti-realist, I don't see any reason for ethics to try to model anything objective. So failing at modelling the world is not a problem. I don't even consider it a goal. Ethic

I don't know about you, but the "bogus propaganda" matches both my personal observations, as well as my peeks behind the curtain. If you say you're not a conspiracy nut, then you're simply mistaken. (On two counts.

You don't provide references to what you're talking about and then you get upset when someone else provides a source with an explanation you don't like?
