What? The article specifically says they don’t recommend turning it off.

In Europe it was relatively smooth though, in my experience. I worked in a shop when it was rolled out. I’m guessing you’re American?

What is sns?

I read the article and I still don’t really understand what this is.

What is AAA? Name resolution for IPv5?

Is that bad?

It was so nice of you to say that in the post.

What error do you get in the system log when the transfer fails?

btrfs check said broken refs and some other errors,

Gotcha. That must have been a kernel bug (or hardware error), none of the userspace utilities could cause it unless they were trying to manipulate the block device directly, which would be really dumb. It’s possible it wasn’t even related to the subvolume manipulation.

I don’t see how systemd has anything like the Windows registry. At least its journals are leagues ahead of Windows event logs, I hate those things and the awful viewer they have.

btrfs data rescue after I deleted a parent snapshot of my rollback

Can you expand a bit on that? I thought it didn’t matter if you deleted parent snapshots because the extents required by the child would still be there.

I don’t use it for the optimisations, I just prefer its package manager and ecosystem.

That’s still true, dozens of us still use it!

Yes, but for developers it’s good to not have to program for each CPU architecture/OS.

I can write some C, C++ or Rust code and compile it for loads of platforms and have it do the same thing (simplified).

What’s your point?

I just started using OpenSMTPD as a backup relay and it seems to work for that. Very lightweight and easy to set up.

So now the developer gets nothing in return for creating the app?

Ah, right you are! Didn’t spot that

Gnome isn’t mentioned anywhere in that exchange?

What results do you get from hdparm’s speed tests?

What filesystem is on the disk?
