Aside from rsync.net which was mentioned in a sibling comment, there’s also https://zfs.rent , or any VPS with Linux or FreeBSD installed.

You can consider something like syncthing to get the important files onto your NAS, and then use ZFS snapshots and replication via syncoid/sanoid to do the actual backing up.

This is strictly about how much memory LuaJIT can address on that platform. There’s no “significant performance issues”. If your workload fits inside 2 GiB (IIRC) it will be fast. …

Lua without JIT is one of the fastest interpreted languages. In fact it might just be the fastest. LuaJIT is also one of the most advanced JIT compilers out there, frequently beati…

I expected at least a little bit more substance and insight, but the whole article basically boils down to, “if Intel’s fab splits off, they risk becoming another GlobalFoundaries.…

Every extant Unix has been rewritten since the original AT&T code, Ship of Theseus style. We still consider them members of the Unix family, because they can trace their lineage di…

Not a misconception at all. Mac OS X was essentially a continuation of NeXTSTEP, which is BSD with a new novel kernel. In fact, if you look into the research history of the Mach ke…

I imagine if later they try to renege on that public grant, CloudFlare is still shielded.

Asianometry also has a video on the history of the Japanese PC market, https://youtu.be/CEtgzO-Im8w

> Ah, yes. Drew DeVault. The expert in ... developing 30M LOC OS kernels with billions of dollars on R&D investment in a few years with a small team in an experimental language. "J…

Linux did implement an API for safely instrumenting these types of events, eBPF. Many EDR and other security products are beginning to use it, although IIRC Crowdstrike does not ye…

A reminder that monolithic- vs micro-kernel is a spectrum. You can achieve the benefits of microkernels incrementally, as both Android and MacOS/iOS are proving out -- by moving co…

A genuine missed opportunity in not including one of the most infamous examples of GNU code quality / needless complexity, https://drewdevault.com/2020/09/25/A-story-of-two-libcs.h…

In principle there's no reason you can't install this next to GRUB in case you're wary. If you're not using ZFS native encryption, and make sure not to enable some newer zpool feat…

They don't seem to be attempting to prevent him from publishing his music. They will just revoke parole if he violates their terms. They're not suppressing speech. They're giving h…

From just the first paragraph, it reads like they aren't trying to approve the release of those songs -- which they wouldn't have the authority to do. They are monitoring his activ…

Could be cultural. Go has a lot of exposure in the DevOps / cloud infrastructure space. Lots of stuff like k8s and Terraform (and its providers) are written in Go, and it competes …

> Being able to search in the past for a half-remembered conversation sounds great until you have idiotic, asinine corporate data retention policies that require anything beyond 90…

What you're describing is called dynamic range compression, and mpv can be configured to do this in multiple ways. Back in the physical media days, it was pretty common for DVD/Blu…

Let the industry self-regulate that. You stipulate a reasonable minimum wage, but like most other industries, mid-level and above restaurants need to pay a competitive wage, or tal…

Do you have a source for this? I'm finding it difficult to find concrete information on the new Exclave.

The article is definitely light on details, but my reading is that this pertains to the orange dot painted in the menu bar or notification area when the camera/microphone is being …

The linked announcement pretty clearly implicates a bug in m1n1, the Asahi bootloader, which appears to have been fixed. It’s beyond a stretch to attribute malice here. Nothing ind…

With OpenTofu exclusive features making such an early debut, is the intention to remain a superset of upstream Terraform functionality and spec, or allow OpenTofu to diverge and mo…

They're afraid of the hypothetical legal threat from Oracle, which largely seems to come from a lot of license misinterpretation and urban myth. Seems like the only ones that have …
