Reminds me of the work Jonathan Oxer presented at LCA 2019 about the journey of reverse engineering and building a similar (and more capable) breakout board for wheelchairs. https://youtu.be/-9Rjh8qJk68 https://w

No, because path-style bucket names weren't originally required to conform to dns naming limitations. I don't know how they're going to migrate those older non-conforming buckets to the host-style form.

I would be extremely interested in any tools that have been developed to maintain a Common Pool Resource community, open source software or otherwise.

That's great to hear that you're forcing yourself to keep communication in the open, when at all possible. That's one of the best ways to keep a community healthy. In my experience with a particular open source project, more

I use (and contribute to) OpenStack Swift. It's an object storage engine (think S3, but it's open source and you can put it in your own data center) that's excellent at storing unstructured data. It's completely deployab

Yeah the lack of further work on ZeroVM is unfortunate. You may be interested in https://github.com/openstack/storlets which is conceptually similar and is being actively developed.

As a quick answer, the name comes from being able to recover data when some of it is "erased". The only way to durably store data so that it survives a hardware failure (e.g. drive dying) is to store more than one copy. Full repli

I've used ISA-L as the backend implementation for erasure codes in OpenStack Swift. There are two versions of ISA-L. The open-source one includes some optimized erasure code libraries. The other version is free (as in beer) AFAICT but

Great stuff! Thanks for publishing it. I'm looking forward to future posts. I'm curious about how you're managing the data on a drive itself. Are you storing the blocks as individual files on a filesystem? Are you doing direc

Yes, I find that unfortunate too. But if you're interested in ACLs in OpenStack Swift, http://swift.openstack.org/overview_auth.html is a good place to start. (all tongue in cheek)
