I've been using startpage for the last 5 years and I'm not looking back. I woudn't have any problem using any other search engine, nowdays any search engine works. The 3 or 4 times that I googled these years I found it pretty weird.
tl;dr: There's plenty of room, just not enough gray matter. :)
I spent the last week testing ext4/btrfs/zfs on Linux and I found that zfs is rather slow and btrfs has improved its performance a lot in the last years (I should refined the script a bit, upload some graphics and make a post).
Ok, so zfs for single drive users doesn't fix single data corruption.
Definitely I'm going to use my solution so. All the next generation FS stuff is cool (btrfs also indeed) but for the simplest use case people just need safe data and fix it it the disk goes bad.
Is zfs able to repair from single data (copy) corruption?
My main issue is to be able to repair a "silent" data corruption on a single drive machine. Am I able to use x% of my "partition" to data repair or do I need to use other partition/drive to mirror/raid it?
If I understand right zfs can detect bitrot ("not really" a big deal) but without any local copy It can't self heal.
My use case is an arm A20 SoC (lime2) to storage local backups among other things, so I need something that detects and repairs silent data corruption at rest by itself (using a single drive).
That's rigth the kind of hardware I was referring to, 1 GB of plain RAM.
Truly, I haven't tested ZFS yet for that reason I've always read that ZFS has big requirements so I refrained to try it. It seems I should give it a try. ;)
Btrfs is another story I've used it for years and I'd prefer not to have to use it anymore untill it'll become "stable" and "performance". :)
I started a really simple and effective project the last month to be able to fix from bitrot in linux(MacOs/Unix?). It's "almost done" just need more real testing and make the systemd service. I've been pretty busy the last weeks so I've only been able to improve the bitrot performance.
Unfortunatly, btrfs is not stable and zfs needs a "super computer" or at least as much GBs of ECC RAM as you can buy. This solution is designed to any machine and any FS.
Seriously, I'm been using it for more than 5 years and I've only enabled it for local sites and everything is working.
It depends on what sites you browse. I don't do any social, use google or any other crap, so it's enabled to 0 internet sites with no problem.
If I need to activate it I have a shortkey (vimperator) that opens a new firefox profile (private and prepared to load crap) for the current site so I don't load any terrible UX in my default profile.
NoScript, ublock and SDC are a must for the current state of Internet. It's like drop the garbage out the window than in the garbage bin, you need to put care into it. :)
if you're a technical person you don't associate containers with docker. That technology is much older than docker and even with that there're so many alternatives than docker is just one more.
If you solved that problem you would be rich.
