I had a user ask us to solve her problems slower because it made her feel stupid when we solved them immediately.
It has most of the major features of BTRFS + tiered storage + per file/directory redundancy + native encryption support. It also seems to be architectured in a way that avoids the write-hole issue for RAID 5/6 that BTRFS has and therefore once that feature is added, it won't be as likely to eat your data. It also had a better system for handling different sized drives.
Overall, it seems like a redesigned BTRFS with the experience of bcache development and benefit of hindsight avoiding some of the early pitfalls that BTRFS had. It already seems like the ideal filesystem that does it all for single systems. Especially if Kent gets the backing he needs to fill out the rest of the roadmap, I really don't see what other filesystems have to offer that are worth losing the other benefits.
Maybe I'm wrong and it will stall or something, but it has been almost a decade already and there have been steady improvements throughout. I plan to switch to it as soon as I can get it working. It is still a bit rough getting a proper multi-drive encrypted system booting since it is still early days of mainline support and disros don't have very good support for it yet.
Try touch mode
IMO generally be a positive about Linux rather than negative about Windows. Asking about what systems they support is reasonable though. Just know that you may be passing up jobs if this is your hill to die on.
I think that they are working to bring up all of it, but it is taking quite a while. The nearby share feature seems the be specifically for people who live in places with either poor internet or under oppressive regimes. With it, all you need is one person to get a copy of a communication app like Briar, and then they can immediately share it out to lots of people directly through F-Droid. F-Droid isn't there just to be a FOSS app store, but it also seems to specifically serve as a source of apps for people who can't get these apps safely. This also explains the high focus on legacy support.
The Donbass portion of the Russo-Ukrainian war had a fewer belligerents, a lot lower population density, and was fought between conventional combatants. It was also over 6 years.
The Israel-Hamas war has more belligerents, over 50x population density, is fought between a conventional army and an insurgency who has specifically said that safety of the population isn't their problem, and is being run a lot faster than 6 years. Reported death rates have already slowed down a lot.
Also according to the UN: https://press.un.org/en/2022/sc14904.doc.htm 90% of war time casualties are civilians. The estimated 13k civilians killed in Gaza are weighed against an estimated 7k Hamas killed. That gives about a 2:1 ratio, much better than the global average.
War is always disgusting.
Why have 3 mental health and no monies, when I can have no mental health and 3 monies!? taps head
I'm definitely skeptical of anything "moderate" that they claim to now operate on. Their actions, especially on October 7th illustrated what their actual ideology is. They even still have foreign workers who are entirely uninvolved hostage.
Sigh I hate getting into it on social media, but this is just blatantly untrue.
Hamas has shown just how brutal they are willing to be the past few days and they explicitly have in their charter the destruction of Israel. Hamas given the chance would absolutely ethically cleanse all of the Levant of Jews. The PLO has a martyr fund for dying while killing Israelis. Israel not fighting would absolutely lead to complete destruction.
On the other hand, if Israel wanted to, it could completely wipe out any and all Palestinian areas. Palestine has no real air force, navy, or artillery and wouldn't be able to stop them. The only reason Israel hasn't done so is they have decided not to.
This isn't commentary on the entire conflict or the history or who is right/wrong. I'm just pointing out that this is factually incorrect.
As far as I know there isn't any real RISC-V desktop ecosystem yet. Most uses these days are embedded. Besides performance, there are a lot of applications that aren't compatible with it. Unless you can verify that your specific needs can be met with RISC-V now, you are probably better off getting a system from System76 or the like that tries to reduce or outright disable IME. Alternatively you may be able to do it with Coreboot/Libreboot.
Oracle free tier is 24GB of RAM. I hate Oracle as much as the next person, but worst thing they do is shut it off and you have to migrate.
TBF most people already have an ethically sourced human skull.
