@rl_dane #Haiku doesn't work correctly with [USB] floppy drives (understandably), so I had to script my own tar/zip -based "filesystem".
The scripts essentially use the floppies as a tape archive (via tar), and store a .zip in the archive. I needed to have the zip layer, since #BeFS 's attributes wouldn't store in via tar, but would via zip.

Haiku OS R1 Beta 5 Is Keeping the BeOS Dream Alive

I bought BeOS back in the day and a copy of GoBe Office. With that said, I haven't tried to use it in years. I couldn't get the official software to run in VirtualBox the last time I tried which was more than a decade ago.
Is anyone running Haiku out there?
BeFS was the main reason I tried BeOS then. I was a file system nerd for a little while. I read this book front to back like it was a novel Brian Carrier's File System Forensic Analysis.

Anybody running BeOS or Haiku or have other exciting tales about cool niche file systems? Want to debate ZFS vs Btrfs vs ReiserFS?

'Maintain Asian forest diversity to avoid climate change impact,' suggests new study

A team of international scientists, led by Dr. Rebecca Hamilton at the University of Sydney, has found that rather than dry savannah in South East Asia dominating during the Last Glacial Maximum more than 19,000 years ago, there was a mosaic of diverse closed and open forest types, upending previous scientific consensus.

@lexknowssystems @randomgeek Using #BeMail and tagging MP3s right in the desktop Tracker because of BFS’ (now #BeFS) extended attributes was the shit. I wish #Apple would enable the same thing with #macOS' #Finder in addition to #Spotlight.

(#HoudahSpot is sometimes a good alternative for files but no longer works for Mail as Apple deprecated Mail Plug-Ins with #Monterey in 2021 and killed them in 2023's #Sonoma in favor of Mail App Extensions: https://mjtsai.com/blog/2023/06/14/rip-apple-mail-plug-ins/)

@openrisk #haikuos 's #BeFS is an interesting implementation of DB-like features in a filesystem.
