FWIW I've been pretty happy with Senseair S8 0053 for my DIY stations. They're relatively expensive though. Not affiliated in any way.

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?

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

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:

by scaladev 5y ago
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 hardw

Has f2fs reliability changed much since this publication? https://www.usenix.org/conference/atc19/presentation/jaffer 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 surpris

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?

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.

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.

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.
