Comment Interesting side effect in your love life (Score 1) 503

I had a date cancelled yesterday because the girl was desperate to upgrade to Windows 10 while it was free. Best excuse ever, but I know for sure that is was real. I had know her for 26 years :). I just called a few buddies and spend the night doing geocaching and chatting until 4:00AM.

Comment ZFS on Raspberry PI (Score 1) 136

by jcea (#46032213) Attached to: FreeBSD 10.0 Released

Being able to use ZFS on Raspberry PI, even running on USB disk and low performance, would be really nice for mediacenters and backup NAS. Anybody has experience with that, I guess 512MB is not enough for it...

I don't care a lot about performance in this context, but stability.

Any opinion or experience?

Minimum RAM size for ZFS is usually 2GB, with 4GB as the "you rather have".

I am using ZFS on Solaris gear since 2006, and those machines were "small" and had 4GB of RAM.

I am wondering if ZFS can be run at all in a Raspberry PI with 512MB, even if slow. My demands are low: stream a single file and backup storage, for a single client.

Library Journal Board Resigns On "Crisis of Conscience" After Swartz Death 128

Posted by samzenpus from the we're-not-gonna-take-it dept.
c0lo writes "The editor-in-chief and entire editorial board of the Journal of Library Administration announced their resignation last week, citing 'a crisis of conscience about publishing in a journal that was not open access' in the days after the death of Aaron Swartz. The board had worked with publisher Taylor & Francis on an open-access compromise in the months since, which would allow the journal to release articles without paywall, but Taylor & Francis' final terms asked contributors to pay $2,995 for each open-access article. As more and more contributors began to object, the board ultimately found the terms unworkable. The journal's editor-in-chief said 'After much discussion, the only alternative presented by Taylor & Francis tied a less restrictive license to a $2995 per article fee to be paid by the author. As you know, this is not a viable licensing option for authors from the LIS community who are generally not conducting research under large grants.'"

Supreme Court of Canada Rules That Text Messages Are Private 143

Posted by Unknown Lamer from the haven-for-terrorist-scum dept.
An anonymous reader writes "The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that text messages are private communication (Official Ruling) and therefore police are required to get a warrant to gain access to the text messages of private citizens. The CBC reports: '[Supreme Court Justice Rosalie Silberman] Abella said the only practical difference between text messaging and traditional voice communications is the transmission process. "This distinction should not take text messages outside the protection to which private communications are entitled," she wrote.'" Quite different from the attitude in the U.S.
