You'd be surprised.

I'm not sure if that'll be good or bad.

Word's getting around.

Nobody tell them that generic mouse drivers are part of every USB driver devkit.

They have stuff going on that would wind up in the data sold and are moving to cover their butts?

(It's DC. There's always "stuff going on.")

Can confirm. I consulted there a few times.

Oh, and the kids of very wealthy people.

Billionaires won’t save us, or did we learn nothing from Elon Musk?

Folks have not learned anything.

I just had a thought: How long do you think it'll take for oligarchs to start using current online sentiment manipulation techniques to get people away from distributed, non-profit media back onto the latest incarnation of traditional services?

Thing is, how well is it really going to work? How much is it going to cost to sue one of these companies? Because they certainly have legal representation on speed dial, and way more money available than any of us.

I just took a peek at the status and outage history of $dayjob[-1]. Seems they've been having an order of mag more problems since they laid off everybody who knows how servers work.

Oh, well... ~~

I see no license here.

ICS manufacturers routinely ask some stupidly horrifying things of customers as part of their support contracts.

I don't think it is.

That would make too much sense, something in short supply in companies these days.

I had intended that the dates on the edits would have suggested otherwise (the last was 20230422), but I also get how easy it is to miss them if you're looking for something specific. I can't change the publication datestamp because that's part of the slug, and it would break links both internal and any that are external.

That's entirely fair.

What's your use case? Do you need the storage capacity and parity of RAID-5 or -6? The write performance?

My experience is based on running that btrfs array since 2019. It's still running in production on my server, I still use it daily, and the data I keep on it is still accessed, processed, indexed, and backed up every day. It's not an experiment for the sake of a blog post, it's a thing that is part of my personal infrastructure. The reason I update that post periodically is because I learn something new, or something minor has changed and the text should be updated to reflect that. If using btrfs on a busy server every day is the experience of 2019, I don't know what to say to that.
