Well everyone, it's the first week in July, and #Reddit CEO Steve Huffman is still a lying asshat who treats Redditors as voiceless resources to exploit. So, as promised, I'm off Reddit and out of r/zfs for good.The good news is, Practical ZFS is up and running as a replacement, with more than 100 registrations in its first day online and more continuing to come in. I hope to see you there soon!https://discourse.practicalzfs.com/#RedditBlackout

@jimsalter So, what the heck is ZFS? And why do open source projects seem to have such an aversion to saying in plain language what their project is and why you might want to use it? I'm sorry if it's very famous, but still.

@Magnifico OpenZFS is an extremely advanced filesystem which offers, among other things:* Built-in multiple drive and volume support* Support for arrays larger than "every hard drive on the planet put together** Per-block cryptographic data validation hashes* *Automatic* repair of corrupt data using said hashes* Inline compression, multiple algorithms supported* Native encryption* INSANELY fast replication* Instantaneous atomic snapshotsAnd more. These are $1M SAN features, in FOSS.

@Magnifico@universeodon.com @jimsalter@fosstodon.org It's quite possibly the most well known file system in the GNU+Linux and BSD worlds. It is the file system to use for serious file storage needs in any (corporate) setting.
