Canned tomatoes are really interesting. They are a different variety of tomatoes (Roma tomatoes) that can be picked via machine. That's also why they taste differently. The automated picking is why they are cheaper (plus the variety is

No, that isn't it. Have you been to say the US or Australia (both very low density)? "Private property NO TRESPASSING" signs everywhere. Very few official trails. If you want to walk from A to B you better have one of those t

They canceled "Teenage Bounty Hunters" which didn't look expensive (no idea if it was). It was a bit uneven but had good, witty writing. IMO could have hit its stride in following seasons and become a cult series.

Synology has solved it by running btrfs on top of mdraid, then patching it so that btrfs reports errors to mdraid and putting repair code into mdraid. This reliably works. I'm sure some would be interested in this, but Synology seems t

China does it, so it is okay for us to do it is just a very weak defense of this behaviour for us looking at this from outside of China and the US. The US stood for free markets, democracy and human rights and (at least) pretended to make i

I depends. If you have an espresso machine with a pressurized basket it would kind of work even with too coarsly ground coffee. But coffee snobs will tell you that then you don't get proper extraction (i.e. weak taste) and that it woul

Also currently there is a bit of an incentive to make it user friendly. If it becomes "consulting-ware" like Linux there would be an incentive to make it user-unfriendly and complicate it with high costumizability, bad UI and bad

In this case it could use the Linux crypto API, which already has ZSTD support and provides compress/decompress functions. But that is exported as GPLv2 so ZFS needs to do its own thing. And idk if the API is sufficient w.r.t. to e.g.

Specifically GPLv3. One reason, I think, is the tivoization clause. Users must be able to modify GPLv3 software and then run the modified version. If they included a GPLv3 bash into iOS, iOS users must be able to modify bash and use the mod

It's not really a rebuttal, it's more of a description of how deeply flawed the system is. Given all currently available information CEOs should choose stock buybacks again. If they need to be rescued now they should be regulated

Ok, to be correct it is one of the factors. (one extra random write per hard link is a lot). Add another extra write to the Windows change journal and you probably have 3x the random writes per hard link compared to Linux (discouting active

As far as I know it is a fundamental design difference between btrfs and ZFS. Btrfs has extent back references. Given a location on disk btrfs has an efficient data structure that gets from the disk location to the items using that disk loc

I had a ZFS bug once where they increased the amount reserved in a new release which caused my file system to be 100% and me unable to delete anything until I went back to the previous release. Btrfs uses the the disk completely. This is ha

So they have fixed the last big hurdle to btrfs adoption in the small (single node) NAS space and are just sitting on it (violating the GPL). I urge any Synology user to write them to send you the Linux kernel source then upload it somewher
