zstd has a built-in benchmark mode to compare different compression levels, e.g. `zstd -b1 -e9 [FILE]` to test levels 1 to 9 (try up to 22 if you have enough spare time)

Note that the dictionary options are only needed to improve compression ratios when compressing lots of small messages. If you have a bigger file (eg a tar file of Usenet messages) the regular Zstd compression will build a good dictionary w

This also adds a lot of moving parts and failure modes. For self-hosting I’d rather have downtime on a simple system that’s easy to fix rather than a complex setup that stays up but needs more maintenance when some component fails.

My home server is an ASUS NUC 14 Essential which idles at 5W with a bunch of services running. Its peak performance is probably less than the Mac Mini, but the hardware is cheap (at least it was before RAM/storage got expensive) and it

Claude Code also doesn't make it easy to make _efficient_ use of the different models to reduce overall cost. There are many tokenmaxxing features (e.g. ultracode that spawns dozens of subagents) to burn through the 5-hour limit in min

cargo-deny can audit build scripts, but unfortunately not prevent execution of malicious build scripts exactly for the reason you gave. It could still help if you only ever use cargo add and update in a sandbox. See https://embar

You’re right about attackers being able to change runtime code. pnpm does have some other features to prevent supply chain attacks, so there is still something to learn from other ecosystems. For example pnpm has a cooldown period for new d

As mentioned by others it’s just as easy for an attacker to modify a crate’s runtime code.

Unfortunately Cargo doesn’t have security controls in place to prevent these kinds of attacks. For example pnpm has controls to allowlist install scripts for dependencies and will warn about new install scripts (without executing them). The

Note that many Rust libraries consist of multiple crates, which all end up in the dependency graph. This makes the number of dependencies seem higher than it actually is: the separate crates have the same maintainers and are often part of t

ZFS on Linux has had many bugs over the years, notably with ZFS-native encryption and especially sending/receiving encrypted volumes. Another issue is that using swap on ZFS is still guaranteed to hang the kernel in low memory scenario

I’m using an ASUS NUC 14 Essential Kit N355. It’s a bit more expensive than the Pi 5, but also more powerful (8 cores and decent GPU). There is also a more affordable N150 model. And even lower budget are the N150 mini PCs from Chinese manu

The hardware is great, but the software is lacking. macOS only supports resolution-based scaling which makes anything but the default 200% pixel scaling mode look bad. For example, with a 27" 4K display many users will want to use 150%

Issues caused by restoring from backups were super common in the early iOS days. It makes me wonder how many weird bugs can be fixed these days by starting from scratch instead of migrating years of cruft through backup/restore.
