Thus the interest in OpenZFS and BtrFS. I hope the [09:44] techrigthssec latter gets up to speed soonish. [09:46] schestowitz-TR we should soon get fibre [09:46] schestowitz-TR then I can probably get better backup of the sites and faster [09:46] schestowitz-TR if needed, older backups can make up for 'rotting' files [09:47] schestowitz-TR running a site for 12 months and 20+ years is very different [09:47] schestowitz-TR we now have a new generation that does not grasp the concept of having to bakc up photograph [09:47] schestowitz-TR and properly [09:47] schestowitz-TR or have no access to old photos within a decade or less [09:47] schestowitz-TR many consider it "normal" to lose all the old photos [09:47] schestowitz-TR or rely on muskdom or twitter or "gulag" (whetever product is offered for storing files [09:47] schestowitz-TR before shutting down for financial reasons) [09:47] schestowitz-TR like picasa web (my sister foolishly used that) [09:50] techrigthssec Decade?
