This seems to store the zfs send stream. That's a bad idea.

> Incremental ZFS send streams do not have any of these properties and full ZFS send streams only have a few of them. Neither full nor incremental streams have any resilience against damage to the stream; a stream is either entirely intact or it's useless. Neither has selective restores or readily available indexes. Incremental streams are completely useless without everything they're based on. All of these issues will sooner or later cause you pain if you use ZFS streams as a backup format.

ylyn commented on Show HN: Patchwork – Open-source framework to automate development gruntwork   github.com/patched-codes/... · Posted by u/rohansood15

There are a few open source projects by the name and we were aware of https://github.com/ssbc/patchwork which is archived. Didn't know of this though.

It's a common noun which works really well for patch-based offerings I guess, and we chose it because we built a 'framework to patch code'. But we'll think more about this - thanks for bringing it up.

Patchwork is used by the Linux kernel: https://patchwork.kernel.org/

When I saw your submission title I thought it was that Patchwork.

USGS shows it as 4.8 at 4.7 km

https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/?currentFeatureI...

The Belden quake is 4.4 at 7.8 km, and 4.2 at 5 km.

It's a log scale so the Whitehouse quake is much larger, but the significance of the quake seems to be more than just these numbers because Belden quake is irrelevant (didn't make the news really).

Sarupathar was a 5.8 (huge comparatively) at 10 km. Hualien was 5.1 at 15.9 km and talked about more than Sarupathar. So the defining aspect appears to be how many people are within range of the epicenter rather than just raw depth and magnitude. Which makes sense, I suppose. We care about how population centers encounter the movement!

> Hualien was 5.1 at 15.9 km

That's just an aftershock.

The main quake was three days ago. M 7.4 according to USGS: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000m9g4...

So for an earthquake that's almost 1000x as strong, you'd think it'd be talked about more.

Even better, you can just put the whole root fs into the initramfs image, and never pivot to another root filesystem during boot. This also allows you to netboot a whole OS.
ylyn · a year ago
One pitfall of this is that the decompressed contents of your initramfs must fit within half of your physical RAM since Linux decompresses it into a tmpfs.

Or if you set rootfstype=ramfs, then you can take up to all of physical RAM, but ramfs isn't swappable.

Ehm no, reflogs are notoriously local...

To be 100% sure that something hasn't changed recently I tried and, nope, your revision command only looks at the local reflog, after a forced push you get different answers from the original repository (that has the full reflog) and a new clone.

ylyn · 2 years ago
I'm very confused by your comment. The grandparent comment talks about using the gitrevisions syntax in a GitHub URL to search the reflog stored on GitHub. Nothing to do with your local clone of a repository.

Last I checked it didn't even have a notion of currency, let alone multiple currencies.

Yep. The Transaction type has just an amount field: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/blob/master/packages%...

Does actual support tracking assets in different currencies and split transactions? I'm hacking together a tool for myself that fits my needs, but I'd really be in the market for something that could replace gnucash or beancount for me

ylyn commented on Password may not contain: select, insert, update, delete, drop   id.uni-lj.si/DigitalnaIde... · Posted by u/jesprenj
kazinator · 2 years ago
All five words are also common English words found in any major dictionary. If you're not actually doing anything stupid with the passwords, all you have to do is use that same diagnostic for that situation: "password may not contain dictionary words". Then you don't have a diagnostic which raises red flags.

That the developer is not aware that their diagnostic raises a red flag itself raises a red flag. It doesn't occur to them that a system which issues this diagnostic will be suspected of doing stupid things. That tends to betray a lack of sophistication in the area of security.

That's not a reasonable requirement at all. A common recommendation nowadays is to have passphrases..

ylyn commented on Ask HN: Why do we need "Passkeys"    · Posted by u/ChuckMcM
greatgib · 2 years ago
This fad about passkey looks crazy to me.

The good thing about passwords is that it just depend on your mind. You can travel through any country with hostile customs with empty pockets. No one can get your "authentication device" and there is not even a proof that you have an account on any website. Or that you don't have multiple of them.

Wait till you forget your password one day.
