@clarfonthey So it turns out databases and filesystems share a lot of similar concepts. This book about the BeOS filesystem is quite old, but very accessible, and gives a nice intro to how FSes work. Concepts like journaling, logging, BTrees etc. are similar between DBs and FSes, and knowing FS concepts will help to answer some of your questions about optimization: http://static.stevereads.com/papers_to_read/practical_file_system_design_with_the_be_file_system.pdf

@catgoat ProtonMail is hands-down best for privacy. I have been using it for years. I find their UI kind of annoying though (and their beta is just a style changeโ€”doesnโ€™t fix any of it and makes everything look way too big). Good thing is you can use a regular IMAP email client if you install their bridge software on your machine.

Would also give hey.com a look if you can do without a custom domain (for now), havenโ€™t used it myself but their UI seems much more thoughtful.

@makyo Is this a room with a hard floor surface? You mentioned wall treatments but what about floor rugs/carpeting?

@makyo No, if it really were inadequate electrical grounding/shielding, noise in the room wouldnโ€™t matter, just fan speed. So itโ€™s probably not that then.

@makyo What type of mics are they? Analog or USB? 10Hz => 600 RPM so Iโ€™m wondering if thereโ€™s some voltage leaking from, say, a fan in your computer.
