There's something that #ZFS #OpenZFS does at mount time (I'm told it's processing deferred frees) that sometimes takes an incredibly long time (hours), and I'm still struggling to understand: why must this be done at mount? (And why mount and not pool import?) Why can't it continue to be deferred like it was during operations?
Still waiting for `zfs mount -a` after an unplanned power outage, 90 minutes after restore.
attention anybody with substantial experience with Rust and networking: my team is hiring!!
one of few rust jobs I'm aware of that is not web 3.0 horseplop.
fully remote (US timezones), good culture, good trans-inclusive healthcare, good work/life balance, and a nice defensive cybersecurity mission i can get behind.
feel free to reach out for more details and the job posting.
Can anyone recommend a combination of hardware/software/host for webcams that I could point at some heavily trafficked backyard bird feeders? I’m about to enter a period of reduced mobility and would love to be able both to keep watching and share the joy.
(edit: ideally, something that can stream publicly as well as be viewed in-house)
My favourite piece of internet today is the theory that Jesus was actually a type of yeast.
Turns water into wine
Floats on water
Makes bread for 5000 people
Put in a cave for 3 days and lo - he has risen!
Jesus was a sourdough starter.
Also this would imply: We should be calling him 'Mother' not 'Father'
Hello, RANDOM PERSON! The slides from my #EverythingOpen #EO2026 talk "The unreasonable cost of open source contribution" are now up at https://robn.au/open-source-cost . The slide notes have something very close to a transcript (I write my talks out in long form) if you want the talk parts and can't wait for the video (hopefully within a few weeks)!
The response has been kind, thoughtful and heartwarming. I've had so many interesting conversations today with people that had their own stories about their time in open source, or their reasons for not contributing more. A couple of Proper Community Organiser people that I look up to gave me encouraging feedback, which made me giggle just a little bit.
I'm still very uncomfortable about the money specifics in particular, which is partly why it's taken a day to post this. But so far everyone has been gracious and capable of nuance, so I have hope that it will continue to be understood, and provide a bit of cover and permission for others to talk about their own experiences and help flesh out the size and scope of the problem we face. If the conversation goes that way, it'll be a reward that far outweighs the risk.
I dunno if open source in its current form can be saved, but if the people I've talked to today will be there for the next thing, maybe it won't matter 💚
I’m seeing an increasing number of duplicate posts in my feed caused by people having multiple fediverse accounts and cross posting interesting hashtags between them. Is there a reason people are doing this?
