I will never understand why it is a good idea to put SMB into the Kernel. Stuff like that belongs in user space, IMHO

There was a major focus shift maybe 5 or 10 years ago towards security in Linux design, especially with the development of Wayland, pipewire and systemd. The problem is that accessibility software behaves in many ways like spyware or malware. It reads all windows, it hooks themselves in programs, it redirects output and input. The security focused (even security first) approach of many developers broke all the accessibility workflows and proper API to do it the new and safe way have low priority. A few exist but it is still far away from feature parity.

That’s why I am against the Wayland default or even worse Wayland only approach that many distributions have nowadays, Wayland is still barely useable for many people who need working accessibility solutions and that should be seen as a major stopper issue for a wide release like that.

F2FS was made primary with removable storage like SD cards and USB thumb drives in mind.

16TB is still a few years away for those, but yes a update to add larger sizes would not be that bad.

It was never a secret that speed is not Btrfs strongest feature. That was known for years.

Most likely because it is not a Filesystem that is available as a native, in-tree, Kernel module.

Edit: Yes, there just is no 6.15 Version of the out of tree module for OpenZFS yet

Supported Platforms

• Linux: compatible with 4.18 - 6.14 kernels

Atomic/immutable distros are just another tool in the tool box. It is great for systems with a limited use scenario like the SteamDeck or HTPCs. I also love to install immutable distributions on systems where the user (often IT-illiterate) and the administrator are different people.

On my desktop PC I will, for the foreseeable future, use a normal distro (ArchLinux in my case) but i am planing to look into changing my servers to immutable with docker. That could make updates/maintenance easier and reduce the risk for full server compromises

Zola really is great, I have started to work with it and it is so much easier to grasp and to get results with. Thanks a lot for pointing me to Zola!

The concept yes, the term for it (and the abbreviation) I am not sure.

Pennies per device can add up when hundreds of thousands of devices are produced. But it is not only the price of the storage but the whole circuit layout is simpler and therefore easier/faster to design and produce. That adds up too.

I will look into that too, thank you for the suggestion

A new homepage for the business of my wife.

I plan to use Hugo for it, I just wish the documentation would be better.

For the homepage I need a few additional “non-blog” pages and from the documentation I am not sure how to do that the best way.

But to be honest, I have not really looked deeper into that, so it is very possible that I just missed something.

This way they only need RAM on the device and can get rid of the need for persistent storage/flash memory. Makes a much simpler board design and easier manufacturing with less costs for parts.

So efficient!! C-Level and shareholders love that!!

Kernel devs used both DRM and HDR for Direct Rendering Manager and Header years before Digital rights management or High dynamic range was a thing. So they have the older rights to this acronyms and the others are the filthy thiefs and imposters 😜

I only bind applications to ports on the Internet facing network interfaces that need to be reachable from outside, and have all other ports closed because nothing is listening on them. A firewall in this case would bring me no further protection from external threats, because all those ports have to be open in the firewall too.

But Linux comes with a firewall build in, so I use it even if it is not strictly needed with my strict port management regime for my services. And a firewall has the added benefit to limit outgoing network traffic to only allowed ports/applications.
