I try to post as sincerely as possible.

  • That would make too much sense, something in short supply in companies these days.

  • I had intended that the dates on the edits would have suggested otherwise (the last was 20230422), but I also get how easy it is to miss them if you're looking for something specific. I can't change the publication datestamp because that's part of the slug, and it would break links both internal and any that are external.

  • That's entirely fair.

  • My experience is based on running that btrfs array since 2019. It's still running in production on my server, I still use it daily, and the data I keep on it is still accessed, processed, indexed, and backed up every day. It's not an experiment for the sake of a blog post, it's a thing that is part of my personal infrastructure. The reason I update that post periodically is because I learn something new, or something minor has changed and the text should be updated to reflect that. If using btrfs on a busy server every day is the experience of 2019, I don't know what to say to that.

  • I don't know if it'll work on Chromium or not. It's worth a try.

  • Because breaching important social norms does the opposite of privacy, it draws attention to you.

  • What is your favourite FOSS notes application?

    Jump

  • At work I use VNote because it uses Git as its back-end. I regularly push my notes up to our in-house Git server to back them up as well as share them with everybody else at work. At home I use Bookstack for note-taking.
