Sure, although the proper way to test it would be to write a lot of data to the drive, issue an fsync, and cut power in the middle of the operation. Rinse and repeat a (few) hundred times for each drive. There's a guy on btrfs' LK

It's worthy of note that log-structured and copy-on-write filesystems (which I've seen described as two types of journaling) like btrfs and F2FS log data as part of their normal operation without any performance loss, so you alway

This does not answer your question, but wouldn't it be easier to get a cheap UPS with enough battery life to get your machine through additional 5 minutes of uptime? Although I've had problems with hardware hanging so completely t

Journaling cannot guarantee data or filesystem integrity if your hardware is lying to you. If you send flush to an SSD and it reports "ok, your data is on the persistent storage", while actually keeping it in DRAM buffers (to get

vimium works okay-ish, or maybe I simply got used to it. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/vimium-ff/ The main problem I have with it is it does not keep key combinations stable — if you pre

Don't forget a keyboard-driven navigation plugin for your browser, like vimium. I have a desktop PC and use my mouse maybe once or twice a day, mostly for JS-heavy crap (which also probably presents enormous problems for the blind folk

Honest question: is there any reason for using RSA for new keys these days, if you are not working with extremely legacy systems? My ed25519 works fine with at least CentOS 7, and thankfully that's the oldest system I have to touch. Ma

At least Indian authorities seem to be relatively open about the censorship. Here in Kazakhstan they simply block everything they want, taking down many "innocent" sites as collateral damage, and write it off as "temporary ne

From glancing at the source code I believe this uses the same algorithm as df from coreutils. It outputs pretty much useless data for btrfs, which needs to be handled differently. See: $ btrfs fi df $ btrfs fi us

Don't you worry, it'll all be deprecated and removed in a release or two.

As much as I like to crap on nvidia, they have supported a relatively high quality Linux driver when it barely registered as a desktop platform. Hell, they even have a FreeBSD driver.

Why would you have a separate machine just for that? I thought one of the strongest points of PCs (as opposed to phones/game consoles) was their wide applicability to pretty much every task?

I was expecting you to say "I immediately mark it as spam". Do it, treat unsolicited newsletters like the spam they are. If enough people do this, it creates significant problems for the authors of such email.

I didn't even know this "feature" was available on Firefox (despite using it since version 2). Turns out, it is only enabled on Windows: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.backspace_action Maybe it was copied

Hopefully Chinese (and other non-Western) users will help to counterbalance this lunacy, if it does happen. Also, I see a lot of container build files not being pinned to a specific version, which automatically implies "latest".

Or just put it on a tracker, like we've been doing for 20 years.

I tried both ZGC and Shenandoah (with plenty of heap space available) and haven't noticed much difference compared to the default CMS. Also, Shenandoah (or maybe both?) does not support compressed pointers, so there was a noticeable in

If you do decide to get a clion license, cppcast.com has a discount code for personal license which shaves 25% off the first year. I won't post it here, just fish it out of the podcast, it's very nice.

Mostly out of curiosity. Higher temperatures also put additional stress on flash memory, and I tend to run my hardware into the ground (I'm still using a 50GB Intel SSD from 2010), so there's that.

And the much higher temperatures (if your M.2 is an NVMe). Could anyone knowledgeable explain why NVMe tend to get much hotter than SATA under similar conditions? I've been testing mine with not more than 400-500 MB/s and it quick

These numbers are probably very much inflated, they are taken from JetBrains' own survey. One could put a similar survey on eclipse.org and claim that 72% percent of Java developers use Eclipse.

GP said "write", not "deploy". I write C# on Linux and I am basically the only person I know who does that.
