Re: [dev] Suckless filesystems
I wonder whether filesystems could be more layered. You can already do this to some extent with LUKS and LVM on Linux, but could you go further? Rather than having a big monolithic filesystem like ext4, could you run some simpler filesystem that just did journaling, then on top of that one that did files and directories, and so on and so forth. By separating featurs out into layers, you could potentially improve stability a lot by getting rid of the features you don't need, instead of having to replace the whole FS with a completely different one. That being said, I suspect a lot of the code is shared in the kernel already.

This has nothing to do with governments or censorship. Governments don't care about swearing. They don't care about meandering, low quality messages. They like them. Look at the "big platforms" that are heavily censored. There is no lack of swearing. There is a lot of low quality off-topic trolling. You aren't doing anything anti-censorship by swearing every second word or posting messages without carefully thinking them through. You're just annoying others on the list. You're lowering the quality of the discussion - both with what you say and how you say it. You make broad suggestions about things without giving them any real thought and you present ideas in this meandering way, often full of profanity. The governments of this world are, if anything, in favour of people swearing every second word. They strongly oppose any attempts to create a child-safe internet or subset of the internet away from porn, groomers and foul language. They sometimes seem to want us all to be mindless consumers incapable of serious inquiry. >I suppose my goal was and is to lower their sensitivity, so far, from >personal >experience, I found out that putting the blade straight into the fire for a >prolonged period of time can really harden it. >What I perhaps failed to realize is that not all blades are equal. >Yes, I don't want to be censored on here, and I don't want sensitive >people in >here, but I do want people, so goal should be to somehow change people from >sensitive to insensitive, tolerant. I don't think anyone is shocked by your messages. They just come off as crass. Imagine going to a conference in real life and one of the speakers goes on a 10 min rant filled with swearing and irrelevant material halfway through his talk. Some people might be offended. Most would be thinking "why am I wasting my time on this idiot?". People aren't being "sensitive". They are just adults with time-waster detectors. When every second word is F this and F that, it suggests that you lack the vocabulary and grammar to express yourself properly. That might not always be true, but it is true enough of the time that most people in this world will make that presumption until it has been disproven. >I got a feeling like you and I are somehow connected, like you are me in past >life or something.. perhaps we are all just 1 split consciousness.

Perhaps you should take a bit of a break from the internet. Go outside, breathe the winter/summer air, etc. Kind regards, Miles.

So I wanted to back it up before a system-wipe and well.. I tried like 5 times, every time the file would get corrupted, like it would be partially missing.. what a shame I wasn't as skilled back then, I miss that mix.. Fuck that filesystem, be it Debian's fault or USB FS fault or mine somehow.. the USB works perfectly to this day. Also I think other files got corrupted, too. And as for the "oh so glorious" FreeBSD's OpenZFS, it can fail, too, since /boot isn't a ZFS dataset.. and I had that set up on Arch which took me so much effort than I'd like to admit (shitty-as-fuck documentation, had to try). So no, even FreeBSD as much as it seems to some- is not perfect at all. Oh, and what broke my system was a system update :-) How hard can it be to actually do something properly , which one promote??? I mean, seriously! Do one fucking thing, and do it fucking well, dammit! Not exactly on-topic, but yeah, hopefully someone finds this interesting.

I do understand that there are sensitive souls out there, but they are coal of a fire which gets started by governments and corporations with their "moderation tools".. I suppose my goal was and is to lower their sensitivity, so far, from personal experience, I found out that putting the blade straight into the fire for a prolonged period of time can really harden it. What I perhaps failed to realize is that not all blades are equal. Yes, I don't want to be censored on here, and I don't want sensitive people in here, but I do want people, so goal should be to somehow change people from sensitive to insensitive, tolerant. I got a feeling like you and I are somehow connected, like you are me in past life or something.. perhaps we are all just 1 split consciousness. I feel, myself, like I'm at my limit, been for many many months.. due to my never-ending eye problem.. Sensitive or not, computers seemed to heal me mentally. I hope you live.. you never know what tomorrow might bring it might even bring dead back alive... I sure hope so for myself, as I feel similar, I suppose..

What do you think about xfs. is it too bloated for you guys? -marko
