I’m increasingly convinced that her strategy is to a) bet that Trump is going to jail, and b) stay active in the primary as long as she can so she’s the indisputable backup nominee when that happens.

I wonder much space this would save if it were run on a typical root volume.

I’m skeptical. “Efficiency” could mean a lot of different things, even the the context of memory management. And it’s a weird metric to put forward since as far as I know, RAM is not really what’s holding us back at the moment.

I’m all for experimenting with new OS designs, but I think even Google just gave up their best try at being better than Linux, so I guess it’s not impossible that Huawei has done it, but I think not likely.

I’m a happy btrfs user, but it’s most definitely a great thing to see what seems like a really clean implementation like this that is able to learn from the many years of collective experience with ZFS and btrfs.

This one is particularly good

It is exactly that. I don’t understand the hate…Wayland is vastly better, less complex and more secure at the fundamentals of running an accelerated window system.

I just recently felt this again, since I decided it had been too long since I’d installed a weird OS, and now I’m running Wayfire on FreeBSD as suggested by the Wayland section of the setup guide and it turns out…it’s a descendant of Compiz. Wobbly windows are BACK!

This is classic.

For a software RAID like this, you don’t want a hardware RAID controller, per se – you just want a bunch of ports. After my recent controller failure, I decided to try one of these. It’s slick as hell, sitting close to the motherboard, and seems rock solid so far. We’ll see!

I don’t. I actually haven’t thought much about it, but I suppose that sounds like a good thing to try.
