I'd say the biggest difference is Plex had years to get polish and mature. (After you turn off all the annoying features ...). So Jellyfin is missing little things, or has apparent bugs (especially on android tv). For example no way to

Stripe do this in a cool way. Their REST API is version based on date, and each time they change it they add a stackable compatibility layer. So your decade old code will still work. https://stripe.com/blog/api-versioni

Ceph overheads aren't that large for a small cluster, but they grow as you add more hosts, drives, and more storage. Probably the main gotcha is that you're (ideally) writing your data three times on different machines, which is g

Arguably, "comma as a separator" is close enough to comma's usage in (many) written languages that it makes it easier for less technical users to interact with CSV.

Usually smooth. But if you're running a production workload definitely do your prep work. Working and tested backups, upgrade one node at a time and test, read release notes, wait for a week after major releases, etc. If you don't

Unfortunately clustered storage is just a hard problem, and there is a lack of good implementations. OCFS2 and GFS2 exist, but IIRC there are challenges for using them for VM storage, especially for snapshots. Proxmox 9 added a new feature

You can mitigate this by including PCRs that sign the kernel and initrd, however it means whenever you update you need to unlock manually. On Redhat-based distros this can be done with PCRs 8 and 9, though IIRC this may change on other dist

Because ZFS has one of the most robust RAID systems in an opensource filesystem, and is incredibly mature. And to be fair, almost every file system will have degraded performance and increased fragmentation above 80/90% full, so this s

What would a NACK add? TCP can already send an ACK for the last successful sequence number, telling the sender to retransmit packets after that sequence number. Due to latency and large window sizes, it's far more efficient to just res

Either put machinery in your schema migration tool to create indexes as a separate step, so they are easy to re-apply. This makes keeping indexes in sync between production and staging a lot easier. Or you can use "CREATE TABLE_B (LIKE

The funny thing is that rust used to have things like garbage collection. For the kind of language Rust wanted to be, removing them was a good change. But there could always be a world where it kept them. https://pcwalton.github.

RAID1 is about mirroring disks, BTRFS RAID1 mirrors block groups. Plus traditionally a RAID1 of 3 disks will mirror the same data on all disks, which is different to how the RAID1 mode on BTRFS acts. So the name leads to misunderstandings s

The BTRFS raid1 feature is very badly named, its best called two-copy. Skipping some details, two copies of data are written to the two drives with the most free space. So you can have multiple mismatched drives. However you get no striping

The easiest approach is to make a new subvolume, and move one file at a time. (Normal mv is copy + remove which doesn't quite work here, so you'd probably want something using find -type f and xargs with mv).
