[$] Caching for extended attributes

Extended attributes (xattrs) provide a way to attach key/value metadata to inodes—files, directories, and the like—in a filesystem. As with many Linux filesystems, the FUSE filesy [...]

TIL: duperemove

A cli tool to take advantage of Linux's file-range deduplication feature (supported by xfs and btrfs). It can recursively find duplicate files and ask the kernel to dedup them.

Linux Kernel 7.0: The Quiet Revolution That Changes Everything - Marco Ferrigno | IT System Engineer

While the industry chases the next AI benchmark and the next model announcement, something genuinely important happened on April 12, 2026, and it arrived with almost no fanfare: Linus Torvalds released Linux kernel 7.0. The announcement was accompanied by a typically deadpan Torvalds joke — he bumped the major version, he said, because 6.19 was […]

Have pushed 0.9.5-dev branch to codeberg of foxing ( https://codeberg.org/aenertia/foxing/src/branch/0.9.5-dev ) in preparation for release tagging. A LOT of features and a couple of bug-fixes now the packet/file processing engine has stabilized ; including Semantic Routing to Parsers for Metadata Extraction and in-path Binary analysis using local ORT/BERT models ; letting you get semantic search powers for free when you copy something with foxingd/fxcp #linux #filesystem #bert #vectordb #postgres #xfs #stratis #blake3 #localllm

`foxing` (formerly xfs-mirror) aspires to be a production-grade, eBPF-powered replication engine for Linux filesystems (XFS, Btrfs, F2FS, Ext4). It captures filesystem events in the kernel and replays them asynchronously on a target directory, providing near real-time mirroring with robust consis...
