How is their catchall support? Last I checked into the status, they only planned to support it for business accounts and limited sending to only a few aliases.

You might still loose partial datasets (especially when the database is not 100% perfectly constrained) and not all software handles such sudden halts perfectly. Making a snapshot of any working dataset of any software without the data corr

I'm not aware of ZFS letting you access corrupted files that easily, the Oracle manual [1] notes that files can only be recovered from backup or removed, not how to access a file that has been corrupted. So this does seem to imply that

That is fairly obvious, a lot of systems provide snapshot functionality irrelevant of the file system. If you still need snapshots, there are several methods without needing CoW Filesystems, notably LVM and dattobd (both of which I have u

Checksumming is rather not free on today's CPUs unless you use something like xxhash which operates close to RAM speed. Journaling is rather useful because especially consumer desktop computers tend to be mistreated and crash a lot. Th

Not everyone needs copy on write and checksumming, it doesn't make sense to waste CPU cycles on checksums when the use case doesn't require it. ext4 is a perfectly fine filesystem for most desktop users and a wide range of servers

Personally I think its sufficient to have a low contrast mode on your website. In general I think its never a bad idea to reduce strain on the eyes of a user, reducing excessive contrast is one way to do it I'm not a professional web d

I've found 192.0.2.0 rather useful. It's designated as a test IP range and shouldn't route anywhere useful in normal local networks.

Well the breakdown of a share has differing effects depending on the consensus rules, same for the entire network. I can't answer that unless you specify which consensus we are talking about.

Because in the sharded example, only the shard suffers a break down, not the entire network, if the nodes collude. It also allows people to run smaller nodes on cheap hardware, this increasing the potential number of nodes in the network.

Because Sharding also lessens the load on each individual node. A single node does not need to process everything

Sharding intents to solve this by splitting the billion messages into a 1000 (or more) smaller problem space. Thusly only requiring 1 VM per node. (tho you need more nodes for equivalent security)

IIRC Gitlab has some issue on implementing federated Pull Requests, which would allow users to run their own Gitlab instances but still interact with Gitlab-proper repositories as normal.

The MCE bug might explain some behaviour on my system, however, I could just as easily also blame frequent brownouts. On the other hand, the compile thingy has never been an issue yet, despite me compiling a lot of things. (Ryzen 7) And for

I'm still quite certain that some test suite had a faulty PHP benchmark that segfaulted on both vendors and people claimed it was Ryzen only. Oh well. Either way, IMO it's not a roadblock for office and gaming usage.

AFAIK it's currently being blamed on a bug in the PHP testsuite that segfsults in Intel too.

I do hope that these methods get patched, I tend to archive my bookmark collection with chrome headless to prevent loosing content when such a site goes offline. I hate it when a website requires me to play special snowflake to scrape them

The thing is, glyphosate/roundup is still a toxin. It may be safe in low doses but I wouldn't exactly try to drink large quantities of something that is made for the only purpose to kill some animal/plant.

The point of a device key is that you can revoke such a key in the event it gets lost and not have people accidentally use it to send you secrets (assuming they use keybase online / are up to date )

Recovering from my current backup solution is expensive, the additional cost is not worth it. Remaking the entire pool is also a hassle and incurs unnecessary downtime. Additionally, not all data is backed up, which I will loose, as this is

The comparison is a bit off. If you build a RAIDZ2 wiht a 3x8TB and a 3x8TB pool, you loose 2+2x8TB = 32TB and have only 16TB usuable. 6x2+6x6 is a mixed pool so it's hard to compare to actual disks. An alternative, better, comparison,

The danger of loosing data on a RAID10 resilver is much higher than people expect. A 6x8TB RAID10 has a 47.3% chance of encountering a URE during a rebuild, which means data loss. A 6x8TB RAID6 has a 0.0002% chance of a URE. (Assuming URE r

SnapRAID and BTRFS both support adding disks. On BTRFS you simply use the new space or rebalance the pool to use the new disk properly. On SnapRAID the next scan will add the disk to the parity drive contents. For low-cost home usage, it is

It's also important to keep in mind that a stripe of mirrors, aka RAID10, has a higher failure probability compared to RAIDZ2 or higher on most common disk setups by several orders of magnitude.

That's not the problem here. The problem is having a 6x3TB pool and turning it into a 7x3TB pool, which is arguably much much cheaper than buying 6x4TB.
