Last Week on My Mac: Uncompressed compressed files

@beet_keeper ...oh, and since recently, I'm using my "holodex" #xattr key/value data for such things:
If you look at the screenshot, you'll see:
exiftool + mediainfo + other extracted data in one place.I can query over this.
Brilliant. ❤️ ⭐️ -

Файловый сервер SAMBA / pool ZFS
Всегда хотел развернуть шару SMB с хранилищем на ZFS, но есть нюансы… Совершенно не приемлю, чтобы пользователи каким либо образом взаимодействовали с сервером, где расположен pool\ZFS. В моем понимании, СХД может включать в себя только служебные компоненты без прямого пользовательского доступа к его сети. Идея казалось очень простой - поднимаем виртуальный сервер, подключаем его к домену, цепляем туда существующий ZFS пул....

DBIN | A distro-agnostic package manager for Linux 🛠️
Interesting times in uniting all Linux distributions even closer after the likes (not package managers) of Flatpaks and Snaps.
◉Dbin only accesses the configs and binaries which user requests
◉Every binary that dbin has in its repositories entirely self-contained
◉Dbin doesn't use a database - it can even be used without installing it
◉Dbin marks the programs that it installs/fetches using XATTR
◉Currently 3105 packages in the repositories (things like Steam and Lutris already in)Users are encouraged to create a pull request, open an issue, starting a discussion or making suggestions!

Ура, расширенные атрибуты в похапе заработали как надо!
Была задумка описывать файлы с книжками в домашней библиотеке через метаатрибуты, как в BeOS -
So, #xattr extended attributes. I'm playing with some different filesystems, and it looks like #btrfs has a 4k limit, where the attributes need to fit into a single block (?) or extent or something. I'm not sure why, as many other modern filesystems allow essentially unlimited key/value data.
So, xattrs are useful for metadata, but if you forget the `-X` flag with rsync sadness ensues. What are some useful alternatives that are filesystem independent? Metastore?

Did all these tests, did some fixes, "#Linuxulator userland from source" branch builds fine on #FreeBSD 14-CURRENT/13.2-RELEASE, aarch64/amd64/i386 🥳
Now doing test builds with 15-CURRENT, which already has a fix for the #Linux #xattr issue. Unfortunately, it's still incomplete. Neverending story 😞
JFTR, not blaming dchagin at all. It seems Linux has some very weird design decisions, and semantics of the xattr syscall return codes -- EPERM is considered fatal by GNU/Linux tools, because Linux returns ENOATTR or ENOTSUP when access to e.g. the system namespace is restricted 🤯

- unencrypted #GCP service account keys
- unexpected #sysctl calls
- unexpected #xattr calls
- unexpected file made #executable
- unexpected Security.Framework programIf nothing else, I hope the queries are useful ideas for others! Have a great weekend. 🌴
