Reminds me of the work Jonathan Oxer presented at LCA 2019 about the journey of reverse engineering and building a similar (and more capable) breakout board for wheelchairs. https:…

Here's a small script you can run to mitigate the issues described in the article: https://gist.github.com/notmyname/824db39350e3d39496de2ea930...

No, because path-style bucket names weren't originally required to conform to dns naming limitations. I don't know how they're going to migrate those older non-conforming buckets t…

I would be extremely interested in any tools that have been developed to maintain a Common Pool Resource community, open source software or otherwise.

That's great to hear that you're forcing yourself to keep communication in the open, when at all possible. That's one of the best ways to keep a community healthy. In my experience…

I'd encourage you to do it anyway. We're on the same journey at my company. Some of our product is based on a fairly large and active open source project. Others are much more limi…

I use (and contribute to) OpenStack Swift. It's an object storage engine (think S3, but it's open source and you can put it in your own data center) that's excellent at storing uns…

Yeah the lack of further work on ZeroVM is unfortunate. You may be interested in https://github.com/openstack/storlets which is conceptually similar and is being actively developed…

As a quick answer, the name comes from being able to recover data when some of it is "erased". The only way to durably store data so that it survives a hardware failure (e.g. drive…

The Rackspace API is OpenStack Swift, a project used by many more public and private cloud providers than just Rackspace. I've been working on Swift for the past 6 years, and I'd b…

It's great to hear how you are using Swift. I work on that project; feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Contact info is in my profile.

I've used ISA-L as the backend implementation for erasure codes in OpenStack Swift. There are two versions of ISA-L. The open-source one includes some optimized erasure code librar…

Great stuff! Thanks for publishing it. I'm looking forward to future posts. I'm curious about how you're managing the data on a drive itself. Are you storing the blocks as individu…

Yes, I find that unfortunate too. But if you're interested in ACLs in OpenStack Swift, http://swift.openstack.org/overview_auth.html is a good place to start. (all tongue in cheek)…
