Linux@programming.dev•ZeroFS Turns S3 Buckets Into Linux Filesystems and Block Devices
23·1 day agoOkay, as I said before, you had a technical issue you couldn’t fix for one specific use-case. Jumping down to a less efficient (which this is) abstract to solve for that problem isn’t a good solution, ESPECIALLY if you’re self-hosting as you describe.
If I go to a store to buy hot dogs, and they’re out of hot dogs, I wouldn’t buy hamburgers to cut in half and try to pass it off as hot dogs just because they fit in a hot dog bun.

22·1 day agoThis has zero to do with anything. Please explain why you wouldn’t be able to expand storage otherwise, and how this solution helps with that. You’re aware of LVM, btrfs, or ZFS?

23·1 day agoThat’s just…a bad idea then. You have every opportunity to not do that, and you’re using a solution like this as a patch to solve for other issues you had. Not a good use-case.

51·1 day agoI’m aware, but why would you self-host an S3-compatible storage implementation when you can host what this tool does via NFS or NBD? Makes no sense.

101·2 days agoThis sounds like a very expensive way to abstract away access to S3-type files, unless I’m missing something. Sounds pretty easy to make a very costly mistake here.
Might be sort of useful on R2 since they don’t charge for ingress/egress.

Videos@lemmy.world•The One Tax That Could Fix The Economy
5·2 days agoHorrible thumbnail. It’s Redfin’s data expert with a PhD in Economics discussing Land Value Tax. Kind of interesting if you’re unfamiliar.

Linux@lemmy.ml•How do I check if a Brother printer is compatible with Linux Mint?
9·4 days agoLook up elsewhere about the reputation Brother has with compatibility. Personal experience: never fails. That’s their jam.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is using a keyring an insecure thing to do?
6·4 days agoThe security model skews towards convenience versus absolute security, meaning automation is it’s goal, not perfect security. They use a reasonable amount of security to protect unauthorized access, meaning untrusted apps can’t access keys by default, and container apps only have selective access. AppArmor is supposed to be handling some DBUS interactions in the background to prevent any old app from grabbing everything, but again, automation is the purpose here.
If you don’t have a reasonably trusted system, then sure, it’s about as secure as any other password manager. I remember reading some time ago there was a plan to make a global framework for trusted application.accessnto things like this, but it was shot down for being “oppressive” in the same way as Microsoft’s trust app mess.
Ideally there would be an advanced mode where each app is granted access to specific keys, and that interaction is controlled by the user. This would never be the default obviously as the user interaction would be an insane annoyance to people who don’t care.

Technology@lemmy.world•Arch Linux's AUR Sees More Than 400 Packages Compromised With MalwareEnglish
1·5 days agoIt’s enough to build a pattern match and scan against it being elsewhere. Surely they did at least much to find all these packages with malware.




















…or, just run a distributed filesystem built for that purpose.
