ZFS is not distributed. So probably closer to ceph or lustre. I have to admit, on my first pass through the page it failed to explain why it was better than ceph.

I do want to point out that the 2600 was at it's heart a slightly generalized pong machine, to the degree that I don't find it surprising that you can make pong in 6 lines of 2600 basic. The 2600 graphics were centered around 5 sp

It is probably down to whether you find humor in absurdity as the far side leans rather hard into this. The humor "is" very weird, the normal flow is a strange image that is not funny and a simple caption that is also not funny. b

Apologies for bringing vi into it but wouldn't the vi / or ? search be even closer? put your search in then hit n to repeat. I think the real genius of the interface is reducing it down to a set of dedicated keys that always work.

Reddit is forum as a service. discord is chat as a service, fandom is wiki as a service. They all share the common goal of centralizing something that should probably not be centralized.
