My first laugh of the weekend, thanks

I normally reserve the phrase 'word chutney' for Reddit but hey, there's no reason why Slashdot should not also gain a chutney award. Cheers

> two years later, they have done nothing to repair the damage.

It's some exaggeration to say "nothing", but I empathise with the frustration. To see where I'm coming from, https://discourse.mozilla.org/... Expand

Not so.

Shortcuts can be changed, but not deleted.

Deletion will be possible around two weeks from now; https://redd.it/exhliv

> I don't see any point to this other than System1 may have some shady plans to "monetize" Waterfox.

No such plan.

Please see for example https://old.reddit.com/r/water...

No, they're quite different.

Pale Moon is based on Goanna, and so on.

Less obscurely: spend five or ten minutes with each of the three, it should be easy to get a feel of how (for example) Waterfox Classic and Waterfox Current interact with https://addons.mozilla.org/

A tad premature.

It's normal to draw a conclusion _after_ an introduction.

From last week's blog post:

>> Next month I’ll do the introduction

If you find time, I recommend listening to bsdtalk227 (listed under Publications ).

https://twitter.com/grahamperrin/status/380395699734466560 quoting plus hashtag from a Delphix blog: " To some degree, #OpenZFS is just putting a name to what we have already been doing as a community ".

I understand your concern.

The first of the three goals of OpenZFS is to raise awareness of the quality, utility, and availability of open source implementations of ZFS. As an end user, very much into awareness-raising of ZFS, I'll occasionally edit (and/or discuss in IRC) wherever I feel that the value of something thats in the wiki is not immediately clear. But I'm neither a developer nor a typical end user, so there'll be large areas that are beyond me. Maximising the value of contributions to the wiki should be very much a collaborative effort...

In the ZFSonLinux area at https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/494#issuecomment-23652335 it's noted that the zfsrogue code is encumbered and so, will not be used.

There's an earlier comment https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/494#issuecomment-7158618 and a corresponding note in the OpenZFS wiki: The early ZFS encryption code published in the zfs-crypto repository of OpenSolaris.org could be a starting point

Three items that may be of interest:

* A short history of btrfs [LWN.net] (2009) (highlights)
* How ZFS continues to be better than btrfs — Rudd-O.com in English (2012) (highlights)
* Btrfs & ZFS, the good, the bad, and some differences. | www | grep storage (2013)

http://open-zfs.org/wiki/Developer_resources#Implementation_documentation notes that the ZFS On-Disk Format document is "a good overview, but sorely outdated". Of possible interest: Max Bruning's weblog: ZFS Raidz Data Walk (2009)

So there!

This is why I read /.

Safari.app is not required for the proper functioning of Mac OS, and you can delete it like any other application. You aren't forced to use it.

Analogous perhaps from the infrastructure perspective, but not from the application perspective. I wouldn't tell a Windows application developer that he has to learn DirectX to do GUI programming in Windows.

Or will you try to argue that these are not huge enterprise apps?

Uh, I will. Those are not huge enterprise apps. Those are fairly simple websites operating off fairly trivial schemas. You could use PHP to do most of those websites. I don't think you really understand what enterprise means. Enterprise apps run whole businesses.
