1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache

    ZFS: πŸ™‚

    I wish the licensing would be Linux compatible

    Overall solid but BTRFS has the advantage of being Linux native in the way it works. Right now I wouldn't use btrfs for a critical raid system but it is great for single disks.

    [–] ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

    But we have OpenZFS, which is under CDDL (=LGPL). So it's fine.

    Edit: I was wrong, see comment below.

    CDDL is not LGPL and is GPL incompatible

    [–] ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    How so?

    https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#CDDL

    Canonical ships ZFS like Nvidia ships proprietary drivers, which seems to work (legally and technically) but it means the development of ZoL is a bit cumbersome and can never be integrated in the kernel development like other filesystems.

    Oh dear, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. I genuinely wish that people would stop using these pushover licenses. I thought it was like the LGPL, but sadly it isn't. At least the base remains free though.

    [–] Natanael@infosec.pub 4 points 1 day ago

    It's kinda comparable in terms, but because both licenses have comparable copyleft "no rights may be removed and no terms added" restrictions they conflict and can't be merged.

    CDDL came after GPL, and I'm not convinced by the arguments for why it was used (to make some kind of development with commercial modules easier, but this could've been done with GPL + exceptions)

    That license plus patents (which only are freely licensed to the CDDL implementation specifically) means you can't just rewrite it for Linux either. You'd have to wait for the patents to expire and then do clean room reverse engineering.
