_iziv··on Why I will never buy another Samsung device
+ they reinstall apps with major updates

+ the shitshow called Galaxy Store that you mandatory have to visit if you care about security updates always greets me with a dialog that suggests to install some game _and_ I have to opt-out for _every_ game. I don't know any real world example were you can be forced to watch an ad before something broken gets fixed. That only works in the (virt.) environment of a quasi monopoly.

_iziv··on Apple's custom NVMes are amazingly fast – if you don't care about data integrity
0 degree what?

Fahrenheit, Celsius, horizontal angle?

_iziv··on Removing trucks could be almost 'impossible,' say heavy towing experts
Yeah, and that's a reason to swing swastika flags... Maybe a lot of them are -- rightfully! -- frustrated by the working conditions, that doesn't mean it's all right to side with populists and fascists.
_iziv··on Why Not ZFS (2021)
Sounds like somebody without practical experience.

E.g. Borg was worthless because the retrival of data was so slow from a dedicated hetzner SX6_ Host that getting data back with less than 10MB/s was disastrous for a 10TB+ repo. (Not a bandwidth problem.)

Been there, done most of the suggestions. Most of them are unpractical -- regardless what benchmarks at phoronix say and how often one jumps from solution to solution for certain aspects.

Still use ZFS, still IMO overall the best package for a lot of data management.

_iziv··on Ask HN: Alternatives to Rust Programming Language
Ada. Old, but stable, with most of the same safety and speed.
_iziv··on Chromium: Permit blocking of view-source: with URLBlocklist
... then don't that behaviour lead to a browser that honours the cheap stakes?

Any script that was doing a password comparison client-side was laughed at in the past -- rightly so --, but now that MS & Google see a business case it's fine? (And a password being a secret, is basically the same as the answer to a question).
