Aside from rsync.net which was mentioned in a sibling comment, there’s also https://zfs.rent , or any VPS with Linux or FreeBSD installed.

You can consider something like syncthing to get the important files onto your NAS, and then use ZFS snapshots and replication via syncoid/sanoid to do the actual backing up.

This is strictly about how much memory LuaJIT can address on that platform. There’s no “significant performance issues”. If your workload fits inside 2 GiB (IIRC) it will be fast. LuaJIT is a world class JIT. For a long time a new garbage c

Lua without JIT is one of the fastest interpreted languages. In fact it might just be the fastest. LuaJIT is also one of the most advanced JIT compilers out there, frequently beating V8 and others. There are very valid complaints about Lua.

I expected at least a little bit more substance and insight, but the whole article basically boils down to, “if Intel’s fab splits off, they risk becoming another GlobalFoundaries.” Which, yeah, I don’t think that’s much of a revelation to

Every extant Unix has been rewritten since the original AT&T code, Ship of Theseus style. We still consider them members of the Unix family, because they can trace their lineage directly. One could built a Git repo showing every code ch

Not a misconception at all. Mac OS X was essentially a continuation of NeXTSTEP, which is BSD with a new novel kernel. In fact, if you look into the research history of the Mach kernel at the core of XNU, it was intended as a novel kernel _

Linux did implement an API for safely instrumenting these types of events, eBPF. Many EDR and other security products are beginning to use it, although IIRC Crowdstrike does not yet.

A reminder that monolithic- vs micro-kernel is a spectrum. You can achieve the benefits of microkernels incrementally, as both Android and MacOS/iOS are proving out -- by moving components into userspace piecemeal, over time. And you c

In principle there's no reason you can't install this next to GRUB in case you're wary. If you're not using ZFS native encryption, and make sure not to enable some newer zpool features, GRUB booting should work for ZFS-o

They don't seem to be attempting to prevent him from publishing his music. They will just revoke parole if he violates their terms. They're not suppressing speech. They're giving him supervised release on condition.

From just the first paragraph, it reads like they aren't trying to approve the release of those songs -- which they wouldn't have the authority to do. They are monitoring his activities as a condition of his parole, which is prett

Could be cultural. Go has a lot of exposure in the DevOps / cloud infrastructure space. Lots of stuff like k8s and Terraform (and its providers) are written in Go, and it competes with Python in popularity for internal tooling.

What you're describing is called dynamic range compression, and mpv can be configured to do this in multiple ways. Back in the physical media days, it was pretty common for DVD/Bluray players to include this feature. Unfortunately

The linked announcement pretty clearly implicates a bug in m1n1, the Asahi bootloader, which appears to have been fixed. It’s beyond a stretch to attribute malice here. Nothing indicates the platform is being locked down. Users simply need

They're afraid of the hypothetical legal threat from Oracle, which largely seems to come from a lot of license misinterpretation and urban myth. Seems like the only ones that have ventured to ship a ZFS binary are Canonical, and their

Worth mentioning aside Alpine (and other small Linuxes) supporting ZFS just fine, we also have ZFSBootMenu, which is frankly a hell of a lot better than the boot environment experience in FreeBSD. https://docs.zfsbootmenu.org Fr

Bash and Zsh are both just about as old as one another. Zsh came out less than a year after Bash. Both derive most of their improvements from ksh, which is why they look superficially similar and many scripts are cross-compatible. Zsh argua

Zsh is quite a bit nicer than Bash for scripting. For one, parameter expansion doesn't word-split by default, so you don't have to haphazardly quote everything. There's also some really powerful features, like the parameter e
