gulikoza··on 737 Max Explanation by a Software Engineer
Again, yes, you may rear end someone, but this is not the correct analogy here. In this situation, the car rear ends someone while you are fully breaking because you didn't pay for the automatic breaking upgrade. This is a fail.
gulikoza··on Goodbye Docker and Thanks for all the Fish
Yeah exactly...and those developers who just want to run something quickly are not really your ideal customers. People using it for workloads in production are...
gulikoza··on Goodbye Docker and Thanks for all the Fish
I never understood why "modern" tools like Docker have to provide everything: networking, firewall, repository, you name it...

I understand somebody wanting to type "docker run xxx" and have everything setup automatically, but if you're running anything but default networking and actually care where the xxx image comes from, it's gonna fail miserably. Coming from the VM world, I found it much easier to work with macvlan interfaces that lxd supports for example - the container gets it's own interface and IP address and all networking can be prepared and set up on the host instead of some daemon thinking it knows my firewall better than me...

gulikoza··on Openwrt 18.06.2 released
OpenWRT is more "linux like". It can feel like a full blown linux system. Sure, it does have a web interface, but if you're used to doing stuff by ssh, OpenWRT is great: nice text configuration files, organized root tree and pretty much any package you get on any desktop distro, if you have the necessary space on the device...

I even run it in some KVM environments for intra-VM routing and firewall because it's lightweight.

gulikoza··on CEBIT Hanover to be cancelled
ATi had some Star Trek:TNG LCARS panels installed in 2000 and Klingons in Worf uniforms walk around IIRC. And there was Lara Croft throwing 3dfx t-shirts one of which my dad caught. Those were the days...
gulikoza··on ZFS Is the Best Filesystem For Now
There's ton of sites when you google ashift=12, http://louwrentius.com/zfs-performance-and-capacity-impact-o... or https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/548 for instance.

Basically, ashift=12 increases ZFS block size to 4K. Metadata use full blocks that would be 512b on ashift=9 but are now 4K (due to ashift=12). It wastes at least 3.5Kb more than normal 512 byte blocks for each block that is not filled entirely.

gulikoza··on ZFS Is the Best Filesystem For Now
The thing I'm struggling with is 4K sector support. It's horribly inefficient with ZFS. RAIDZ2 wastes a ton of space when pool is made with ashift=12. And everybody knows 512e on AF disks is horribly slow...so ZFS is either very slow or wastes 10% of total space...Or both (ZVOL :D)

According to some bug reports, nobody has touched this since 2011...
