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.

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.

I wonder about ZFS running on a Raspberry PI. I know that CPU is really slow and that memory is tight, but I wonder if it could do as a small and slow, but stable NAS.

Why not moving to TOR / ONION addresses?. You could promote TOR / Onion, and you could deploy an ONION proxy for casual users not interested in installing TOR themselves.

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

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday March 27, 2013 @07:57PM 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 on Wednesday March 27, 2013 @01:22PM 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.

Network Solutions Under Large-Scale DDoS Attack 139

Posted by Soulskill on Friday January 23, 2009 @11:08PM from the but-they're-so-friendly dept.

netizen writes "CircleID is reporting a large-scale DDoS attack affecting all of Network Solutions' name servers for the past 48 hours, potentially affecting millions of websites and emails around the world hosting their domain names on the company's servers. The NANOG mailing list indicates that it is due to a very large-scale UDP/53 DDoS which Network Solutions has also confirmed: 'There is a spike in DNS query volumes that is causing latency for the delay in web sites resolving. This is a result of a DDOS attack. We are taking measures to mitigate the attack and speed up queries.""
