  • Most of the “what if” scenarios that I’ve come across focus on what if the Nazis hadn’t attacked the USSR when they did. If Germany was fighting on one front at a time, the question becomes does Germany take the UK, and if so, does the US directly enter the war at all?












  • I think that every operating system needs to a have a “do what the fuck I told you to” mode, especially as it comes to networking. I’ve come close to going full luddite just trying to get smart home devices to connect to a non-internet connected network, (which of course you can only do through a dogshit app) and having my phone constantly try to drop that network since it has no Internet.

    I get the desire to have everything be as hand-holdy as possible, but it’s really frustrating when the hand holding way doesn’t work and there is absolutely zero recourse, and even less ability to tell what went wrong.

    Then there’s my day job, where I get do deal with crappy industrial software, flakey Internet connections and really annoying things like hyper-v occupying network ports when it’s not even open.









  • It’s a function of ZFS itself. Data that is to be written to the drives is first written to RAM, then transferred to the drives. One of the benefits of this is that if you are moving a file that is smaller than the available RAM, your transfer won’t appear to be limited to the write speed of the drives.
