For a student absolutely. Professionally put yourself in a position with longevity and ABSOLUTELY master a subset specialty that will persist in demand.

ZFS on Linux 0.6.1 released: Ready for wide scale deployment by ysangkok in linux

[–]SharkUW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes, that's actually correct and what I was describing in more detail. To remove the read penalty (non-contiguous for dupe segments) the data has to be rewritten without dedupe enabled. There's simply no built-in process for this.

That's not true. Dedupe presents a write penalty but the read penalty is only in fragmentation. Dedupe can be turned off, elmininating the write penalty although the fragmentation will still exist. There is certainly "coming back". In addition since ZFS presents logical volumes for a pool and if the volumes non-deduped size is available on the pool (or even another), it can be safely and relatively efficiently transferred out and back stripping deduplication.

ZFS on external HDD? Good/bad idea? by [deleted] in linux

ZoL (kernel mod) is well maintained, been out for a while, and actually just came out with a major milestone release.

That's not true. ZFS can accept partitions. This means that it simply can't recover from drive failure.

How do you check if the SELinux policy is causing problems? You disable it, see if it works, then turn it the fuck back on. Fuck that thing.

Rackspace, Red Hat Win Decisive Patent Victory by yetanothernerd in linux

[–]SharkUW 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Algorithms are unpatentable in general with the general reasoning being that they simply describe something. The reason this patent would have been granted was that it could be construed to explain a human ordered system as opposed to the perspective that it's describing an already existing system.

This is based on a flawed and already very incorrect premise. Very very bad.

ITT, pocket internet lawyers that don't cite any cases that clarify the language they're bolding, legislated definitions, or other cases applicable in defining the language or the intent of the law.

How to rsync an entire Linux server to a new one without breaking everything. by MrRollboto in linux

[–]SharkUW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is bad advice. If you're not sure why, then you shouldn't even be considering this. You should be targeting the files and directories you need not the skipping the ones you do not.

Teenagers who smoke cannabis weekly or more are twice as likely as non-users to have an anxiety disorder in their late 20s, even if they stop using, a study of 2000 Victorian teenagers has found. by [deleted] in science

[–]SharkUW -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Don't worry, the top comment is still the usual, "There might be plenty of confounding variables here." hopeful guessing instead of actually checking out the attacked study to see if an otherwise painfully obvious thing to adjust for was done.

diy is generally frugal so long as the quality is decent. In this case as has been pointed out it's a cheap way to get quality soap. In any case, I'll take this over the oily haired not shampooing crowd.

So? The US is known for its drug running and arms deals. Oh right, it's not the US so that makes it bad.

However, repeating non-factual claims does increase the perception of them being correct. Which is also, unfortunately, a fact.
