  • ZFS is really nice. I started experimenting with it when it was being introduced to FreeBSD, around 2007-2008, but only truly started using it last year, for two NASes (on Linux).

    It's complex for a filesystem, but considering all it can do, that's not surprising.

  • I can't stand Musk, but SpaceX is going really well, so I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean... If you're referring to Starship, they didn't expect it to work 100% on the first few tries (unlike some media, who report on it as if they failed).

  • What does that have to do with this article? I see no allegation that he was killed/hurt by anybody at all?

    It also seems his death is not at all confirmed FWIW.

  • I've basically only been playing Noita since I started maybe 6 weeks ago. Harsh and unforgiving, but it gets better the more you learn.

    I highly recommend looking while others play to learn, and reading up on the wiki (noita.wiki.gg, the fandom wiki is abandoned by the community). There is SO much that is basically impossible to figure out on your own, but it's so much fun. It's a much bigger game than you might think if you just jump in and play, too. Even 134 hours in I still have quite a few things I've never done.

  • Hm, they're removable in about every case I've used in the past 20 years. I mostly use Fractal Design cases though, so I suppose it's something they tend to do.

  • I'm never giving it up out of principle, but I dunno about the RAM usage. Firefox was above 7GB last I looked. I have RAM to spare though, so I don't really care.

  • Helpful yes, but far from enough. It only helps in some scenarios (like accidental deletes, malware), but not in many others (filesystem corruption, multiple disks dying at once due to e.g. lightning, a bad PSU or a fire).

    Offsite backup is a must for data you want to keep.

  • That's in bytes. A modern NVMe drive can do about 7 GB/s (more than 10 for PCIe 5.0 drives). Even SATA could handle 5 Gbit/s, though barely.

  • Sorry for the nitpick, but you probably mean GB/s (or GiB/s, but I won't go there). Gbps is gigabits per second, not gigabytes per second.
    Since both are used in different contexts yet they differ by about a factor of 8, not confusing the two is useful.

  • What does this have to do with systemd? Aren't they safer in this situation because they aren't using the beta xz release?

    My systems running Debian stable with systemd also aren't affected...

  • They're still working on a game they say is far bigger than BG3, though.

    Prior to development on Baldur's Gate 3, Larian CEO Swen Vincke was already planning out the company's future, and this included what he calls "the very big RPG that will dwarf them all."

    Speaking to GameSpot at GDC, Vincke explained that Larian's next game also won't actually be the aforementioned "very big RPG," but will be another step toward realizing it.

  • I gotta say, I really expected Rhaenyra or Rhaenys to be in this.

  • Unless you've changed your vault encryption settings (which is not a bad idea!) it will likely decrypt rather quickly.
    I changed mine to Argon2id with settings such that one iteration takes over one second (on a Ryzen 5800X3D, about the same on my phone), since I don't unlock it very often.

  • What a bizarrely specific scam. Shouldn't take too long until everyone in that line of work in a particular area catches up on it.

    Yes.
    He doesn't have 15 million subscribers that all hate him.

  • They obviously want their newest/flagship OS to be secure, or people wouldn't want to use it, and they'd be stuck supporting people on 10+ year old OS:es instead.
