Bcachefs

isaac-pog

It is getting close to time for me to retire my current computer. The CPU and chipset is >10 years old at this point, I am at the RAM limit, and it is the best CPU available for the chipset and socket of my motherboard. On my current system, I use Btrfs on top of a cached LVM logical volume which uses 1TB of NVMe SSD storage to provide writethrough caching for a 6TB hard disk drive. It is a rather convoluted setup, but it is a nice compromise between having limited fast storage and tons of slow storage, and saves me from juggling files back and forth between different filesystems for performance reasons. I might just opt for bcachefs instead when I put the new machine together.

Welcome to libre

A comm dedicated to the fight for free software with an anti-capitalist perspective.

The struggle for libre computing cannot be disentangled from other forms of socialist reform. One must be willing to reject proprietary software as fiercely as they would reject capitalism. Luckily, we are not alone.

Resources

Free Software, Free Society provides an excellent primer in the origins and theory around free software and the GNU Project, the pioneers of the Free Software Movement.
Switch to GNU/Linux! If you're still using Windows in $CURRENT_YEAR, flock to Linux Mint!; Apple Silicon users will want to check out Asahi Linux.
Social Media Recommendations:

The Linux Experiment: Weekly news host for Linux/libre software related news.
Nicco Loves Linux: Developer for KDE who makes interesting videos.
David Revoy: An incredible artist with a cool webcomic, all done with GNU/Linux.
Michael Horn: Makes videos about his various experiences with Linux.

Rules

Be on topic: Posts should be about free software and other hacktivst struggles. Topics about general tech news should be in the technology comm or programming comm.
Avoid using misleading terms/speading misinformation: Here's a great article about what those words are. In short, try to avoid parroting common Techbro lingo and topics.
Avoid being confrontational: People are in different stages of liberating their computing, focus on informing rather than accusing. Debatebro nonsense is not tolerated.
All site-wide rules still apply
