The agonizing slow death of the power user
This is a fascinating article to read. The facts are nailed to the wall in clear and easy to comprehend jargon, even for the non-grey beards
Some quotes
Ask a twenty-two-year-old to connect to a remote server via SSH. Ask them to explain what DNS is at a conceptual level. Ask them to tell you the difference between their router’s public IP and the local IP of their laptop. Ask them to open a terminal and list the contents of a directory. These are not advanced topics. Twenty years ago these were things you learned in the first week of any serious engagement with computers. Today they’re exotic knowledge that even a lot of working software developers don’t have, because you can go a long way in modern development without ever leaving the managed abstractions your platform provides.
And that’s the real damage. It’s not just end users who don’t know this stuff. It’s developers. People who write software for a living who’ve never had to think about what happens between their API call and the response. Who’ve never had to debug something at the network layer. Who’ve never had to read a full stack trace and understand every frame of it. Because the frameworks handle all of that, and the frameworks are good enough, and figuring out how things actually work is optional.
iOS set the template. Apple shipped a device in 2007 that was, by any reasonable technical measure, a computer. It had a CPU, RAM, persistent storage, a network stack, and a real operating system descended from BSD Unix. By every cultural and legal measure, however, Apple treated it as something else entirely: an appliance that you licensed rather than owned, that ran software only Apple approved, that couldn’t be meaningfully modified, and that communicated only through channels Apple controlled. No filesystem access. No inter-app communication beyond what Apple chose to expose. No background processes without explicit, limited, grudging permission. No ability to install software from any source other than the App Store — which Apple created, controls, taxes at thirty percent, and can pull your app from at any time for any reason with no meaningful appeals process.
Some facts
Power User
A power user is a user of computers, software and other electronic devices who uses advanced features of computer hardware,[1][2][3] operating systems,[4] programs, or websites[5] which are not used by the average user. A power user might not have extensive technical knowledge of the systems they use[6] but is rather characterized by competence or desire to make the most intensive use of computer programs or systems.
Term use
The term came into use in the 1980s, as advocates for computing developed special skills for working with or customizing existing hardware and software. Power users knew the best ways to perform common tasks and find advanced information before the arrival of the commercial Internet. On PC platforms, power users read magazines like Byte or PC Magazine, and knew enough about operating systems to create and edit batch files, write short programs in BASIC, and adjust system settings. They tended to customize or "supercharge" existing systems, rather than create new software.[7]
Notes
This is systematically done by the factories of technology. I am baffled that a 41 year old litterate person, with secondary school and partial tertiary school, cant tell the difference between an email account, a FB account, a local machine account, a table, notebook and Android phone, from the basic technological perspective. This happened a couple of hours ago, which makes this article very relevant to me.
This person was born two generations ago!
WTF happened to reading manuals!?
I read all manuals I get with hardware I buy, go online to fetch and read, PRINT IF I HAVE TO!
Power Users are a sub-species of homosapiens which is in the greybeard stage.
Eventually we will drop our current corpus and move on to other energy levels of existence
Power users will become extinct in the next generation or two
A bleak future for those left

I'm in love with Linux.
It just decompressed a 2GB zip file in 2 seconds.
The same file in Windows is still decompressing 🤣

Haven't looked at this since I broke it. There really isn't any way to recover that #filesystem or files is there?
Most of my files were backed up one way or another. I'm sure I'm losing some things, but shouldn't be anything too important or critical, luckily.
I suppose this is an opportunity to redo the hard drive all together and maybe it's time I tried something other than #ext4. I don't think I would use #bcachefs tho, so I suppose that only leaves #zfs. Idk, need to do some reading.

Local-Only File Encryption with JavaScript.
I've been exploring the #WebCryptoAPI and I'm impressed!
When combined with the #FileSystemAPI, it offers a seemingly secure way to #encrypt and #store files directly on your device. Think #localstorage, but with #encryption!
I know #webapps can have #security vulnerabilities since the code is served over the web, so I've #OpenSourced my demo! You can check it out, and it should even work if #selfhosted on #GitHubPages.
Live Demo: https://dim.positive-intentions.com/?path=/story/usefs--encrypted-demo
Demo Code: https://github.com/positive-intentions/dim/blob/staging/src/stories/05-Hooks-useFS.stories.js

💾 The File Count Challenge 🔎
Have you ever wondered how many PDFs, images, videos, or particular kind of files you have on your device? It is the time to find out.
I am hereby proud to officially launch a Fedi-wide file count challenge, in exclusive partnership with the 2025-27 class of @xpub 👾
💁 How to participate
- Go to your main device (not mobile)
- Open the terminal
- Run
find . | grep '.pdf$' -c(on Windows:gci -r | where Name -match '\.pdf$') - Repeat the previous command, replacing “
pdf” with any file format you are interested in sharing. We suggest:jpg,mp3, andpng. 🔆 Bonus:html,js,ttf,odt,svg - Take a screenshot of the output
- Share the screenshot on the Fediverse, using the #fileCountChallenge hashtag (please, copy-paste the actual text from the terminal in the image description/alt text)
- Add your (user)name and results to the scoreboard
- 🆒 Bonus: share the story explaining why you have so many/little files for one format.
🏆 Awards
There is a secret prize for the three people who have the most PDFs, JPEGs, and HTMLs. More info to follow.
Boost, share, fork… Do whatever you want, but please have fun while doing it.
I willl keep writing updates. Yaaaaaaay ⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️⌨️

CW: Storytime about trying to mount an ext4 drive on macOS.
So, I got the magnificent idea of formatting an external HDD to ext4.
Everything was fine, until I had to mount it on macOS (I still use that OS for some tasks). Okay… Not a problem, I think, I just have to install macFUSE and ext4fuse.
Yes, done. Now… let's plug in the drive and mount it, and… Oh! Surprise! "You don't have permissions to access this drive." What? I try and retry and nothing happens… So I get another ext4 drive (this one had a Linux system on it, not just files) and it worked!
Well, I cannot figure out how to make it work with my files drive then. But I do not give up.
"Time to VM!" I think. I install VirtualBox, make a VM with a lightweight Debian-based distro and when I'm about to activate USB passthrough… I just can't. I search for a solution and it turns out that it's something to do with permissions, again. And a lot of people have this issue in forums. I'm fed up. I uninstall VirtualBox and go to sleep.
…
A new day, a new way to suffer.
"I won't be beaten by a file system" I say to myself, determined to make it work this time. Since VMing still has the best chances to work, I give it another try, this time with UTM, a VM host and system emulator for macOS based on QEMU.
Surprisingly, UTM is simple and easy to work with, very user-friendly. So I have my VM running in no time, and (as if it wasn't enough complication) I decide to try out an Arch-based distro, EndeavourOS.
USB passthrough on UTM works flawlessly, and it's easy to use. Problem solved? Hell no, now I have to be able to share a folder between host and VM.
Thankfully, UTM's documentation is clear and, after a few package installs and a reboot, I manage to get it set up. And yes, folks, problem solved, this time for good.
May my problem have been solved another simpler way? Yes, quite likely. But as someone who hadn't used VMs on macOS, and had little to no experience with Arch-based systems (only Manjaro but didn't actually use it as my main OS), I learnt a lot.
P.S.: I'm aware of anylinuxfs, but I have an Intel Mac, so, that's not an option.

CW: Storytime about trying to mount an ext4 drive on macOS.
So, I got the magnificent idea of formatting an external HDD to ext4.
Everything was fine, until I had to mount it on macOS (I still use that OS for some tasks). Okay… Not a problem, I think, I just have to install macFUSE and ext4fuse.
Yes, done. Now… let's plug in the drive and mount it, and… Oh! Surprise! "You don't have permissions to access this drive." What? I try and retry and nothing happens… So I get another ext4 drive (this one had a Linux system on it, not just files) and it worked!
Well, I cannot figure out how to make it work with my files drive then. But I do not give up.
"Time to VM!" I think. I install VirtualBox, make a VM with a lightweight Debian-based distro and when I'm about to activate USB passthrough… I just can't. I search for a solution and it turns out that it's something to do with permissions, again. And a lot of people have this issue in forums. I'm fed up. I uninstall VirtualBox and go to sleep.
…
A new day, a new way to suffer.
"I won't be beaten by a file system" I say to myself, determined to make it work this time. Since VMing still has the best chances to work, I give it another try, this time with UTM, a VM host and system emulator for macOS based on QEMU.
Surprisingly, UTM is simple and easy to work with, very user-friendly. So I have my VM running in no time, and (as if it wasn't enough complication) I decide to try out an Arch-based distro, EndeavourOS.
USB passthrough on UTM works flawlessly, and it's easy to use. Problem solved? Hell no, now I have to be able to share a folder between host and VM.
Thankfully, UTM's documentation is clear and, after a few package installs and a reboot, I manage to get it set up. And yes, folks, problem solved, this time for good.
May my problem have been solved another simpler way? Yes, quite likely. But as someone who hadn't used VMs on macOS, and had little to no experience with Arch-based systems (only Manjaro but didn't actually use it as my main OS), I learnt a lot.
P.S.: I'm aware of anylinuxfs, but I have an Intel Mac, so, that's not an option.

In a world where everyone thinks #FUSE is the panacea for all #AI woes, our author here 🍞 proclaims that agents just need access to filesystems to become super-geniuses 🦸♂️. Because clearly, what every AI truly needs is to fumble through a #filesystem like the rest of us trying to find that one file we misplaced in 2012 📂🙄.

Which local file systems does macOS 26 support?

For some reason and it wasn't installed on my Debian based MX Linux distro.
I've just installed sysstat, the package it comes in, and I have to Thank you for pointing me to the program

I remember that command from Linux and I've just checked online since I'm on the phone and found this hit
I didn't see that specific switch though

Up to know I have not seen any USB thumb drive which can write as fast as it reads in practicality
The 64 to 256 GB thumb drives that I work with, write at about 6 to 8 Mbps when they are in sync mode
In the beginning the drive seems to lie and shows speeds that are close to the absolute speed of the USB 3 Connection. In reality is not really a lie because the Linux Operating System loves to cache it's file systems, especially if they're native, like ext4
However the file system warns you never to remove the thumb drive until it's actually done writing. If you use something like Midnight Commander it will show you that the writing speed drops all the way down to six to eight megabytes a second!
That happens on both modern systems and on Old obsolete systems with just USB 2

On the latest #ATPpodcast I heard @siracusa pronounce the HEIC image format as a word - "heek" [hiːk]. He is the first human I have heard pronounce it as a word. I feel like, for me, it will always be "H E I C".
There are several acronyms I treat this way, that I've heard others say as words, thinking about it.
PNG, SVG, BMP, IFF, SQL, URL, LED, GUI, PDF, PCMCIA (well...), etc.
I am old and set in my ways.
By the way, GIF is not on that list because I pronounce it as a word starting with a soft G, because that is how that is pronounced.

File Encryption with JavaScript.
I've been exploring the #WebCryptoAPI and I'm impressed!
When combined with the #FileSystemAPI, it offers a seemingly secure way to #encrypt and #store files directly on your device. Think #localstorage, but with #encryption!
I know #webapps can have #security vulnerabilities since the code is served over the web, so I've #OpenSourced my demo! You can check it out, and it should even work if #selfhosted on #GitHubPages.

#Linux Might Drop The #Apple #HFS / HFS+ #FileSystem Kernel Driver Support
#Apple no longer supports the Hierarchical File System on the latest versions of #macOS itself and in prior releases was read-only support since macOS 10.6 for HFS itself. The newer HFS+ file-system does continue to be supported by Apple. Linux support for HFS has been poor and ill-maintained and it looks like the kernel drivers could be on their way out.

Linus Torvalds has proper motivated reasons for really disliking file systems without a case sensitivity.

Linux might no longer support HFS/HFS+
The antique filesystems, HFS and HFS+, were used in old Macs going back to Septmber 17th, 1985, with the former being used first, then the latter. They also have alternative names, called Mac OS Standard and Mac OS Extended.
During development of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard released in August 28th, 2009, Apple decided to stop all support for read-write HFS and HFS+ filesystems, making users be unable to write to any file, but they still could read from such volumes. In macOS Catalina, Apple finally removed the filesystem support from the Darwin kernel, making it impossible to use disks that are still formatted with such filesystems.
We appear to have reached the end of support for the two antique filesystems in Linux, too, because, this year, the prominent Linux developer from Microsoft stated that, via Mastodon:
Let’s try and remove #hfs and #hfsplus by the end of 2025. They have been orphaned since 2014 and are turning into a maintenance burden.
If you’re still using those filesystems after the support ending period, there is a chance that you could use those filesystems again via user-space filesystems, except that you won’t have the same experience, including the lack of support of writing to files for HFS+.
