I expected to find the following techno-critic arguments in this blog post, but did not really find them. Here they are, Hacker News! [Tools do not exist in the void but in a socie…

Deceptive query plans (eg. due to very specific write shapes), lack of QoS classes (to priorize OLTP requests over OLAP ones without spawning a read replica), manual partitioning t…

It is harder and harder to publish SaaS building bricks as open-source, as too many companies are not contributing back their change (sometimes called "freeriders"), leading to the…

As we say in data analytics, "garbage in, garbage out". These ranking based on internet users perceived insecurity have been identified many times for their lack of relevance and t…

First, there is no proof that "LFP grid scale batteries" last longer than regular batteries today as your question may imply. It seems the first "grid scale batteries" were derived…

It seems the correlation between the article title ("Getting the Grid to Net Zero") and the subject that is actually discussed (maintaining a power grid stability in presence of in…

The kernel documentation defines some tag conventions, one of them is "Suggested-by". Its definition: A Suggested-by: tag indicates that the patch idea is suggested by the person n…

3 days ago, I installed Haiku on bare metal: an old PC from ~2004. I was not aware that a new version was planned at that time, but the upgrade was completely smooth. My idea when …

Just a note to say that if you are using Matrix and want your conversations to be indexed in search engine ("Google-searchable"), you can deploy matrix-static[1] or you can use the…

Hi, I would like to mention that some work on a Rust SMTP server has been already done with the Kannader project[1] (Disclaimer: I have no contribution on it but I know the maintai…

The content is currently stored in plaintext on the disk by Garage, so you have to encrypt the data yourself. For example, you can configure your server to encrypt at rest the part…

You own the servers. This is a tool to build your own object-storage cluster. For example, you can get 3 old desktop PCs, install Linux on them, download and launch Garage on them,…

Our software is published under the AGPLv3 license and comes with no guarantee, like any other FOSS project (if you do not pay for support). We are considering our software as "pub…

Another benefit compared to MinIO is we have "flexible topologies". Due to our design choice, you can add and remove nodes without any constraint on number of nodes and size of the…

Currently, we have no elegant way to achieve what you want. When failures occur, repair is done through workers that says when they launch, when they repair chunks, and when they e…

Thanks for reporting the problem. I just deleted the AAAA entry for this machine. In the meantime, if the result is cached for you, you can pass the `-4` argument to force IPv4: gi…

So let's take the example of a 9-nodes clusters with a 100ms RTT over the network to understand. In this specific (yet a little bit artificial) situation, Garage particularly shine…

I tried to answer to a comment that was deleted, probably due to the form. Instead of deleting my answer, I want to share the reworded critics and my answers. > Why not using Riak …

(Garage Contributor here) We reviewed many of the existing solutions and none of them had the feature set we wanted. Compared to SeaweedFS, the main difference we introduce with Ga…

I find the way the article is written interesting. Indeed, the title is misleading and you will learn nothing on the technical part. However, the idea here is to be vocal about wha…

IMHO this choice of word is not neutral. Facebook is not the cool thing anymore, it faces many contestations. Assimilating its adversaries vocabulary after rendering it meaningless…

dns, network and ntp services are run in separate processes. These processes are sandboxed in a more effective manner than chroot (namespaces, capabilities, etc.). Moreover, system…

A better solution would be to integrate propositions like dweb[1] in browsers then simply use socket listening. Without socket listening, using WebRTC to create direct connections …
