You assert that ECC RAM being necessary for ZFS is just a myth but provide no justification for why that is untrue. Is it not the case that if you don't have ECC memory, ZFS could end up writing a checksum that does not match the data

This seems to store the zfs send stream. That's a bad idea. > Incremental ZFS send streams do not have any of these properties and full ZFS send streams only have a few of them. Neither full nor incremental streams have any resilien

Patchwork is used by the Linux kernel: https://patchwork.kernel.org/ When I saw your submission title I thought it was that Patchwork.

One pitfall of this is that the decompressed contents of your initramfs must fit within half of your physical RAM since Linux decompresses it into a tmpfs. Or if you set rootfstype=ramfs, then you can take up to all of physical RAM, but ram

I'm very confused by your comment. The grandparent comment talks about using the gitrevisions syntax in a GitHub URL to search the reflog stored on GitHub. Nothing to do with your local clone of a repository.

Last I checked it didn't even have a notion of currency, let alone multiple currencies.

That's not a reasonable requirement at all. A common recommendation nowadays is to have passphrases..

Firefox has way too many components to be "just one repo you can fork".

I can't believe people are trying to extrapolate this situation into how someone would act as a manager in a company. Can't you see that the kernel has its own conventions and practices that are entirely different from typical cor

> A patch is a patch and the author should be credited as such. But the patch was not taken. The maintainer fixed it a different way. So credit is given for reporting the issue and suggesting a fix, and that is what is represented by the

No, that's not what "Reported-By" means. The kernel community has different conventions. This entire HN comment section is ridiculous with everyone acting as if the author wrote an entire subsystem and someone else took attri

As someone who partly works on the Linux kernel for a living I still don't really know what your point is.

Isn't this just how mounts work? If you have a something mounted to /apex/whatever and each app has a separate mount namespace, then mounting over /apex/whatever in your namespace wouldn't change anything in an

Why? As someone who's lived here for more than 20 years, I really don't know what you mean.

cgroups aren't even the main thing. The main thing is the mount namespace.

No, I don't think they can really fork it. How are they going to get support for new hardware in their fork?

Then Debian is the wrong distro for you. Debian is for people who want to configure a server once and have it stay running and secure. "Stability" in Debian's context means _version_ stability, not that it doesn't crash.

The reason for this is that in Windows the DE is part of the system so it knows what to keep in memory. On Linux the DE and shell and htop is just another program so when the system is under high memory pressure those things also get swappe

Definitely not elegant. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/build-supp... I rather have a kernel-level filesystem remapper.

I interviewed at Canonical, doing all of the written stuff, and got an offer. But in the end I turned them down because their compensation wasn't competitive.

You can't really have branches, commits and merges _while offline_ without a distributed repository. Let me add to that: history and blame too.

You can render JSX at build-time. So it's just a templating language, as the parent comment said.

I don't see why you are so surprised by code that indexes using SIGxxx. The signal numbers are well-defined and known to be mostly consecutive and start from 1.
