So each enclosure hosts its own RAIDZ2. Have you tested if it can survive loss of USB connectivity? It can happen because of cable damage or movement, and also because of any failu…

Each drive shows up as an external USB mass storage device?

What is the systemd equivalent for `service crond stop` and later `service crond start`? In other words, I want to disable all jobs for some time (for benchmarking) and then bring …

JGit has advanced a lot, and is in use in software handling huge repositories like Gerrit code review system. Java has also had numerous advancements in the past 10 years. It would…

Their financial report appears to be quite opaque and closed, as opposed to the Linux project and community.

Now that SSDs are ubiquitous, hard disk drive manufacturers should up their game: * 5.25'' drive which is taller (more platters) and wider (more sectors per platter) * Slow rotatio…

Defaulting to root UID is not an understandable default. Systemd requiring polkit is a valid issue.

I find this article hard to read. But I believe its point stands. In Rust: - You bubble up errors using `?` operator, - then you get a nice error message. - However the location of…

I had implemented it once in 2 lines of Python. some 25 years ago. If I can shake the rust maybe I'll be able to rederive it. Please do! I would love to see a concise and readable …
