Proposal: Moving ownCloud community discussion to GitHub Discussions

Hi everyone, 👋 @trust_level_0 I’m David Walter, VP of the Open Source Program Office at Kiteworks. We are evaluating our tooling and want your input, thoughts and feedback. I’m posting this because we’re considering a change in how the ownCloud community communicates, and we want to ensure the community has a chance to add feedback and are heard. The proposal We’re considering archiving this Discourse space, central.owncloud.org, and moving community discussion to GitHub Discuss...

I completely missed this one ... thanks to LTT for putting it on my attention radar.

TIL: Ext4 only allows for 65536 hardlinks per file.

And funnily, for no certain reason, so does OpenZFS on linux.

How Jennifer Aniston and Friends Cost Us 377GB and Broke ext4 Hardlinks

One reaction GIF. Used constantly in posts, PMs, everywhere. Each use in a different security context creates a new copy. 246,173 copies of Rachel from Friends doing a happy dance.

And #discourse post speaks exactly towards why closed source move from #cal makes no sense.

🚀 Breaking News: "Discourse isn't going closed #source," says absolutely no one who was worried it would. 🙄 This non-announcement is brought to you by people who think we actually care about their "Wall #of Love" and "Enterprise #Pricing." 😂

Website backup crippled by 1.6MB Friends GIF that was replicated 246,173 times, breaking Linux's EXT4 filesystem limit — Jennifer Aniston's 'happy dance' animation ate up 377 gigabytes of data due to security policy

Admins were not happy. Initial attempts to resolve the issue by replacing files with hardlinks also failed due to ext4’s 65,000 hardlink limit.
