schestowitz> I know this is woo-woo territory, and I happen to agree with you that this stuff needs its own strata (vs. the level of reporting you do, which admittedly can be hurt when stuff like this is brought into the picture) but this timeline is a bit hard to ignore.Apr 24 00:32

schestowitz> Most of it turns out to be garbage. A lot of it even turns out to be non-factual. With that said, I stopped smirking at the 9/11 truthers years ago. You know the sort of conspiracy that matters-- conspiracy fact. A lot of the theory is sloppy and paranoid and frothing. Every once in a while theyre half-right. Sometimes that's too close to dismiss entirely. But 1% right is pretty useless.Apr 24 00:33

schestowitz" they could have included flowlog: https://flowlog.net even if it doesn't have as many features as some. It has some features others don't have, and it's not using a freemium funding model like some. Also, it's completely free to use during the beta for the first 100 members."Apr 24 08:10

schestowitz not bad article for beginners, but a bit incorrect.Apr 24 08:11
schestowitz1. btrfs same as zfs have own volume manager and support not only raid1 but also different raid levels + linear attachment of block devicesApr 24 08:11
schestowitz2 f2fs is not the only choice for flash media, it's indeed have good performance on flash devices, but it's also have high chance of data corruption, data corruption occurs often even without power loss, which is unacceptable, from the other side, most modern filesystems also support trimming, so can be used on flash media without any problemsApr 24 08:11
schestowitz3 jfs like zfs is not native to linux and have outdated not full featured port, and even worse, outdated userspace, so unfortunately now-days it's not only not recommended, but also dangerous and hard to setup filesystem for linuApr 24 08:11

schestowitz" to insist china is lying is  “With Qt 5, we used OpenGL as the unified API for 3D graphics. Since then a host of new APIs have been defined. Vulkan is the designated successor of OpenGL on Linux, Apple is pushing for Metal, and Microsoft has Direct 3D. This means that Qt will in the future have to seamlessly work with all those APIs. To make that possible a new layer abstracting the graphics APIs (like QPA for the platform Apr 24 17:39
schestowitzintegration) called the Rendering Hardware Interface (RHI) has to be defined. We will need to base all our rendering infrastructure (QPainter, the Qt Quick Scenegraph, and our 3D support) on top of that layer.”"Apr 24 17:39
