Blog-rolls were quite popular before social networks were a thing, and they were a very good way to connect with interesting people. View quoted note →

This is nice. I'm currently using my minipc with FreeBSD 15.0-RC4. The fans are ALWAYS off (or, at least, spinning at such a low speed I can't hear them). When using Linux, I can clearly hear them, from time to time. Let's see 🙂 #RunBSD #FreeBSD

After the blood test, my well deserved breakfast

Why I (still) love Linux I usually publish articles about how much I love the BSDs or illumos distributions, but today I want to talk about Linux (or, better, GNU/Linux) and why, despite everything, it still holds a place in my heart.

Ok, the next article for IT Notes is ready. It’s not a guide and it will be a surprise for many. I’ll publish it on Monday. Stay tuned! #ITNotes #StayTuned

#FediMeteo is probably the biggest public BastilleBSD managed project I've created. View quoted note →

"The contrast with Docker is striking: while the Docker container required 100% CPU to reach peak for the HTTP and HTTPS throughput, the FreeBSD jail delivered the same speed with ~60% of the CPU sitting idle. In terms of performance cost per request, Jails are drastically cheaper."

I clearly wrote that the tests I performed in the latest blog post are 'with a default configuration, without optimizations'. In many places where the link is circulating: 'You should have enabled XYZ and ZYX!'

Another data corruption, fortunately not fatal, with btrfs. Two mirrored disks that have little activity. On the same server, Proxmox 9, there is also a ZFS pool (mirrored, more active). Same type of disks. An employee mistakenly connected an electric heater to a socket protected by the UPS, and the server rebooted brutally. Upon reboot, one of the two btrfs disks reported: [ 167.015266] BTRFS error (device sdd): parent transid verify failed on 873906176 wanted 998679 found 998677 [ 167.017007] BTRFS error (device sdd): parent transid verify failed on 873906176 wanted 998679 found 998677 [ 167.052517] BTRFS error (device sdd): open_ctree failed mount: /btrfs: can't read superblock on /dev/sdd. Result: unable to mount, even in degraded mode. The only way was to disconnect sdd and mount the other disk in degraded mode. No issues with the ZFS pool. Needless to say, I'm now copying the data to ZFS, and before tomorrow, these two disks will be a new ZFS pool. #RunZFS #OpenZFS #btrfs #Linux #Proxmox
