bedros··on ⁠Btrfs has been deprecated in RHEL
my line for snapshots

btrfs subvolume snapshot /source/drive/folder/ /source/drive/folder/.snapshots/snapshot-`date +"%Y-%m-%d-at-%I-%M%P"`

this will create a snapshot with date and time attached to the snapshot name

you can more info here

https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/SysadminGuide#Managi...

make sure to remember to delete old snapshots, otherwise you'll run out of disk space and not know where it went

bedros··on ⁠Btrfs has been deprecated in RHEL
I think this is a political move disguised as technical move

oracle pays the developers of btrfs [0]

redhat hates the guts of oracle, since oracle released oracle linux, which is a clone of redhat enterprise (based on centos)

so, redhat wants to cripple btrfs and hurt oracle.

However, btrfs is my favorite FS, been using it on my home computer and backup drives for at least 6 years, before it was included in the kernel, love the subvolumes, snapshots, and compression; never had issues with it .

it's the ecosystem, you can find zwave switches, plugs, everywhere, there is no wifi switch I can find.

they look great, do they have usable I2C, GPIO libs with support for python of I'm assuming they support some version of ubuntu/debian

I'm looking into a similar solution, and found roundcube.net features to be exactly what I need

how would you add a new post (for a blog) edit a file, and upload it to the site?

thank you!
bedros··on An FPGA-friendly 32-bit RISC-V CPU implementation
that's my understanding from talking to an engineer at Qualcomm,

however, if there's no need for a license, then it would make it lower cost to build SOC with off the shelf AXI IP

bedros··on An FPGA-friendly 32-bit RISC-V CPU implementation
ARM has a patent on AXI bus, but sure if it's expired, but whoever uses AXI with this CPU may need a license.

is there a link to django code?

I was downvoted like hell too when I commented that "only a fool will use react in their code because of its license"

very interesting, can I schedule tasks to run daily, hourly, weekly, etc. like cron.
bedros··on Marc Andreessen answers questions from Stripe Atlas founders
"And so if a founder can’t navigate a network into a VC firm, it is unlikely that founder has the skills to navigate the other networks required to succeed in building a company"

So, as someone who's working on a startup at seed stage, outside silicon valley (Socal), what Marc is saying does not make any sense; networking requires time, and time is very valuable especially at seed stage; I would rather work on developing the product and refine it for market fit, rather trying to spend precious time on meeting with people to expand my network.

bedros··on Is it possible to host Facebook on AWS?
totally true, if you're google, however if you're a startup, and build your platform on react, it would be really hard to switch to other platform once you have million of lines of code.
bedros··on Is it possible to host Facebook on AWS?
all tech companies file patents to protect their cutting edge technology, so it's common sense FB has patents on react.

your argument of where are the FB patents on react is an example of your naivety

my position all along has been, using other libs than react is LESS likely to violate FB patents, and thus gives more freedom to compete with FB. if that's your definition of load-of-crap, well, that's not my definition.

Thanks for the reference ,but I read your earlier comment

here's the issue when picking reactjs vs others (like vuejs)

Choice A. by picking reactjs I'm in a clear violation of FB patents, but I'm covered as long I don't sue FB.

Choice B. by picking others (like vuejs), I may or may not be violating FB patents, (virtualDOM has some prior art, as some people claim)

why it's so hard for people to understand that "May or Maynot" is a better choice of "definitely" violating FB patents in case I need to sue FB if they are killing my business by copying my patents.

I know that suing for patents is not best business model. But, having that weapon (even defensively) is better than not having one.

still people downvote for gray areas?

if you're a threat to FB, the unthinkable will happen.
bedros··on Is it possible to host Facebook on AWS?
for those who downvoted me, can you explain why I'm wrong,

Would you believe that Apple today would use react in their products?

What would Steve Jobs say to someone who suggests using react in apple software/saas?

downvoting on HN is being abused here, just because someone is a big fan of reactjs and disagrees with me, they automatically downvote a valid opinion based on facts.

see for yourself, from react patent clause "The license granted hereunder will terminate, automatically and without notice,"

That's exactly why only a fool will use reactjs in their web design, because FB will put you out of business and if you sue them for infringing your patents, your reactjs license is revoked

Anyone used this behind corporate firewall
bedros··on D Language accepted for inclusion in GCC
I had the same feeling at first, then I built a hobby project using Python, and it was too slow, so, I rewrote it in D

I really liked D after that, I felt I'm working with python but much faster.

one advice, never use printf function in D, use write() and writeln()

bedros··on Inside D's GC
last time I tried Dlang, it had the option to turnoff the GC completely

please don't use RTL, since it's commonly used for Hardware/chip design languages such as Verilog and VHDL
