The single, actual reason for refusing to not use ZFS on Linux systems in general is IMO the non-mainline state. Sure, as with other FS it has trade-offs and may not match all workloads or use cases, but it also has a maturity and no native

Yes, normally tape is a second level backup for the worst case and long term archival. Tapes normally are not kept on site, to ensure that even a destruction of the office/datacenter/... like, for example, a fire does not make one

FWIW, there are mechanisms to live-patch the kernel, there were some out of tree approaches (ksplice, kGraft, kpatch) but nowadays, the kernel has native support that those (kGraft and kpatch IIRC) now can use: https://www.kernel

Well, the CLI tools are not really couple to Proxmox Backup Server and could be built for most somewhat modern Linux distros, quite possibly also other *nix like systems. The whole tape management is in the common PBS API, so that'd be

Interesting read, as with most of ben's blog.. And yeah, buffering is definitively required to get acceptable speed out of tape tech. If you want a LTO Tape solution with more bells and whistles you could check out Proxmox Backup Serve

If an engineer needs that much time you have a serious technical debt for setup of your software or a inexperienced or inept engineer. The developer or at least operators need to be able to setup your software for more frequently for testin

€40 gives you a dedicated server, not just a VPS. Getting metrics on that is not a hard problem, there are various projects that are relatively simple to set up. If you want to make it easier manage resources, metrics out of the box, and av

Nope, you're right, I need to apply the following diff (wrapped in a fn main() {}) to avoid rustc complaining: # diff -up test.rs test.fixed.rs --- test.rs 2022-01-22 16:03:57.302742242 +0100 +++ test.fixed.rs 2022-01-22

A OVH or Hetzner VPS can get you a long way for 3.5 to 5€ a month, and they're both quite established and not just a one-man show hoster. Also, you get an actual VM, not just a container, so you can do pretty much everything with it. F
