>Only if you use the time saved to write more data than you would have with a slower drive

Well, NVMe SSDs do get quite hot due to much higher data transfer speeds, and higher temperatures lead to faster flash memory degradation, although I have no idea how important it is in practice (probably on the order of an SSD dying in 10 years instead of 20)

FWIW I've been pretty happy with Senseair S8 0053 for my DIY stations. They're relatively expensive though.

Not affiliated in any way.

> co2 and pm should both go down with windows open.

Very much depends on where you live. I have a few DIY air quality stations with data being piped to Grafana. I just looked at the latest data, the average outside PM level for the past 5 months has been around 100 µg/m³, while inside it's around 10 µg/m³.

This spring happens to be pretty windy and this skews the outside levels down, otherwise the ratio would be much worse.

You'll be waiting on that gas station for hours for the payment to go through.

What else did you expect on a ~~hacker's~~ founder's site? Make a billion and retire before hitting 20, that's the goal.

Where are the exploits for TempleOS? Come to think of it, where are the users, and where do most security researchers direct their attention to?

I'm doing this also, and for the same reason.

>It's not uncommon that zooming will make the text smaller

At least in Firefox you can enforce the minimum font size through settings without using any third-party plugins or custom themes (look in about:preferences → "minimum font size"). I have it set to something like 16 or 18.

This doesn't fix the actual problem, but I gave up on trying to change the world a long time ago.

>Btrfs is probably never the right decision

And you're posting anti-btrfs FUD.

Even if it's the only deployment in the world, it's more than "never". They provide strong technical reasons for using it.

What? They ship prebuilt zfs modules along with the kernel.

  # dpkg -L "linux-modules-$(uname -r)" | grep zfs.ko
  /lib/modules/5.4.0-70-generic/kernel/zfs/zfs.ko

This is old news.

With luck, this problem will soon be solved from the opposite direction:

These are all beta images.

So? Do you think filesystem metadata is stored in a magical pixie cloud, or on the same unreliable physical hardware where it can easily get corrupted, especially after a crash or an unexpected power loss?

I posted this link here already:

https://www.usenix.org/conference/atc19/presentation/jaffer

f2fs (at least in its state a couple of years ago) is/was a prime example of how a filesystem can get into a barely working state with massive amounts of data and metadata corruption, and not even notice it.

God I love this site. In case of a minor disagreement with someone don't even bother to think, just press "downvote".

The other way to interpret this would be "it was the only filesystem to detect corruption on my malfunctioning hardware", because that's what usually happens in the last few years.

Or have you been using ZFS on the same hardware?

Has f2fs reliability changed much since this publication?

I'd be afraid to use it for anything other than throwaway test data.

I am sure that Western Digital (whom the author of this patchset works for) will be very interested in your opinion. He implements whatever makes business sense for WD, and not what some random forum commenter wants. I am not at all surprised that a storage vendor would want upstream Linux support for its upcoming devices before they're actually being sold in stores.

Wouldn't that draw more attention to the research patches, compared to a "normal" lkml patch? If you (as a maintainer) expected the patch to be malicious, wouldn't you be extra careful in reviewing it?

You will be among the first volunteers to go to the frontline, I presume?

These blog posts are as relevant as ever.

Do they only break for users in the United States? I've been using Firefox exclusively since about 2.0, and I've never had any of the Google projects break for me. Not once. Yet this seems to be a pretty common problem around here.

Why would I go to Stack Overflow? If it has any decent answers, they'll be right at the top of Google (or whatever) search results. If it doesn't, I just saved myself the need to do a second search.

>I don’t know why you wouldn’t run Bedrock

Because not everybody runs Windows? I don't consider mobile and console platforms as gaming, but that's just my biases.

>Not to mention the pain point that it still is to install and configure a JDK, and make it work properly with Intellij, why is it still so complicated?

IDEA can download and configure one of multiple JDK distributions in a single command:

If your definition of "piracy" are crappy streaming websites and shoddy warez dumps full of links to rapidshare, they are the same they were 15 years ago: full of malware and questionable ads.

BitTorrent trackers are more alive and popular than ever, and you always get what's advertised thanks to relatively high quality moderation (if you visit the right places, of course, sites like TPB don't count)

This thing has been working fine for many years

although it is proprietary.

Open your shell prompt, press ^X^E, paste the script into the opened editor. Check it for anything malicious, save and exit (or exit without saving if you don't want to execute it). The shell will execute the script.

It's just silly. Get outside your desktop bubble. Linux powers literally billions of smartphones, a similar amount of embedded devices, millions of servers in large datacenters, etc etc.

git is one VCS among many, even if it is the most popular and the best in many respects. It's one of the many tools used by pretty much a single profession. To me it's a bit like saying that a circular saw has had more impact on the world than Linux.

How can Secure Boot help against, say, patched libc?

You need either full disk encryption, or something like dm-verity for that.

It's fine. I use Rider, and work with databases through its built-in tools, which are pretty decent (the same functionality as their separate paid product DataGrip). I've never needed Windows in 4 years of doing this.

Remember, you're paying money for this treatment. Reminds me of cable TV, honestly.
