hey hey #Linux #FileSystem #ZFS #RAID #XFS entities! I'm looking for extremely opinionated discourses on alternatives to ZFS on Linux for slapping together a #JBOD ("Just a Bunch Of Disks", "Just a Buncha Old Disks", "Jesus! Buncha Old Disks!", etc) array.

I like ZFS but the fact that it's not in tree in-kernel is an issue for me. What I need most is reliability and stability (specifically regarding parity) here; integrity is the need. Read/write don't have to be blazingly fast (not that I'm mad about it).

I also have one #proxmox ZFS array where a raw disk image is stored for a #Qemu #VirtualMachine; in the VM, it's formatted to XFS. That "seems" fine in limited testing thus far (and seems fast?, so it does seem like the defaults got the striping correct) but I kind of hate how I have multiple levels of abstraction here.

I don't think there's been any change on the #BTRFS front re: raid-like array stability (I like and use BTRFS for single disk filesystems but) although I would love for that to be different.

I'm open to #LVM, etc, or whatever might help me stay in tree and up to date. Thank you! Boosts appreciated and welcome.

getting back into Python is weird because like every time I do there's a new fresh hotness to theoretically end all hotnessess re: package installation

and then the next time I get back in people are like, "that was such horseshit, this is the thing"

"wheel is bad, but poetry: so good!"
"poetry is shit, something something else is good (I dunno I kinda don't remember the name for this one)"
"we don't need that old one, we have WHEEL!"

motherfuckers

(yes, these are real things)

Heeeeeeey linux cats!

I would like to learn how to do kernel work and closer to the grain hardware work. Anyone know of any reasonably-priced device (wifi card? PCI-E card? even if it's a laptop, so long as it's relatively inexpensive for the whole shebang) that oh my god no one gives a shit about enough to write a driver but it would be super cool if it did work?

If you know of any listing of anything of this type or anything, that would be really helpful. I dunno what my price point is but given that it's education to increase my skillset for employability (and to possibly help stave off more compute lockdown in the future) I do have some budget for it. I'm not really a hardware kitten so I'm not quite sure where to begin to look for this kind of info.

Boosts very much appreciated!
