mx alex tax1a - 2020 (6)man what is it about linux filesystems that seems to attract extremely normal men? bsd ffs was largely a gay man's brainchild, bring that energy back, make an "ffffs" and flamboyantly fucking fancy flash filesystem or something
... and and and and ...@atax1a I feel like it intersects perfectly on that "thing people rarely do", "seems like a challenge", "is foundational technology". Basically a weird way to cement a legacy or something idk, I still use ext4
@andnull it's linux filesystems specifically, the BSDs and commercial unixes have entirely different things that attract extremely normal men
and yeah our most recent experience with linux filesystems is that post-dirhash ext4 is good enough for mail archives, but we use freebsd and thus zfs and have 0 regrets in so doing
