NIN is the blue ring. 😆

Not necessarily. Rsync deltas are very efficient, and not everything supports deltas.

It may very well be the correct tool for the job.

Anyway, problem fit wasn’t part of the question.

The daemon tracks file state, so the transfers start quicker because rsync doesn’t have to scan the filesystem.

Okay cool, but post the random IOPs please.

MZLA is a different subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation.

It was community maintained, then MZLA Corp was formed under the Mozilla Foundation. Deals to house Thunderbird under other foundations fell through, which is why it’s still under the Mozilla Foundation.

Project 1: Install Gentoo on it. 🙂 Project 2: Keep Gentoo installed on it.

Epiphany is making headway. It’s gotten much better in the last year or so.

I can still crash it with too many tabs, JS sometimes makes it crash, and the extension experience is bad, but it’s gotten better.

It is covered by WebKit call out though.

Mozilla is going to surveil their users and feed the data to their AI/Ads systems. They needed people to opt-in, so they created a EULA.

I’ll start. Go home white people! Go back to where you came from!

Oooo… A new Command & Conquer is going to drop. 😯

Also military contractor strategy.

How is the puppy?

As for interoperability between services… Monetization of surveillance data. The social media companies are Ad companies, and they make their money surveilling people and selling access. It’s harder to build an accurate model of a person when only pieces of data is available, and they need to have more data then the other Ad tech companies they’re competing with.

Matrix servers keep a copy of any remote room an account on the server has joined, and it’s possible to recreate a room from the copies held on different servers. There are more details I don’t remember, but at a high level that’s how it’s distributed.

Storing messages of remote rooms in addition to local rooms is why people complain about the storage requirements of Matrix servers. They don’t realize it’s distributed.

Yeah, Moxie has openly shot down the idea of adding federation to Signal, and I’ve never heard them claim Signal was decentralized.

Matrix is federated, distributed, and decentralized.

XMPP is federated and decentralized.

Where are those two in the picture? Or are they taking the picture? 🤔

How hard is clevis to setup?

I’ve seen it referenced for encrypted servers, but I haven’t tried setting it up.

Unencrypted boot is unfortunate. What are PCR registers?

I do encrypt my drives, and it’s not as transparent in Linux as it is in the others. I’m sure I could get a TPM setup for seamless boots, but I haven’t done that yet.

For mobile drivers, I still encrypt, but that locks them to one OS since LUKS isn’t cross platform. There is VeraCrypt for cross-platform encryption, but that’s one more thing to manage and install.

Linux, and macOS, enables write caching by default and Windows does not. This is what you’re seeing.

Mounting the drive with “noatime,flush” (preferred) would adjust the write caching and mounting with “sync,dirsync” would turn off write caching.

Random peripherals get tested against windows a lot more than Linux, and there are quirks which get worked around.

I would suggest an external SSD for any drive over 32GB. Flash drives are kind of junk in general, and the external SSDs have better controllers and thermals.

Out of curiosity, was the drive reformatted between runs, and was a Linux native FS tried on the flash drive?

The Linux native FS doesn’t help migrate the files between Windows and Linux, but it would be interesting to see exFAT or NTFS vs XFS/ext4/F2FS.
