If system security is the most important criteria above everything else, switch to using BSD.
nice bait mate.

While I’m not a fan of nostalgia-mining or the constant remastering and remaking of games
... but in the same sentence has nothing but good things to say about constant tinkering and overhauling:
companies are still keeping some popular older games accessible by relaunching them with better graphics, fine-tuned gameplay, and even added scenes
Dude sounds like he's just speaking out of two sides of his mouth.
By the way, this is also why they are against game preservation. Artificially making the $thing unavailable is a sure fire way to sell it again 'remade'.
the dude wrote a kernel, I very much doubt he needs to brag about his ability to write assembly.
HAHAHAA du bist ueberrascht dass plebbit power jannies kein leben haben und sich verzweifelt an die einzige Verantwortung und Macht klammern, die ihnen jemals irgendwie anvertraut wurde? Sie machen das umsonst!
Quite frankly, one of the things that has always irked me about a portion of the Linux community is that as far as I know, a strength and selling point of Linux has always been the freedom of choice. And yet, people start wars over your choices
the "war" about systemd was actually a discussion about the (continuing) ability to make choices, not that some people chose systemd over other options. One of the main points of the debate was that systemd was monopolizing the init process and turning gnu/linux into gnu/linux/systemd.
The assertion that people were just upset like little babies that some wanted to choose a different init is highly disingenuous.
transcoding is certianly not ideal, but some releases have obscenely high bitrates and if you're more concerned about archival than max fidelity reducing size by a factor of 5-10x (h264->av1) is worth it for me.
Don't delude yourself: This is just a convenient excuse for them to do this.
Having to maintain an active community outside of their control is an inherited burden from purchasing a former indie company.
But that being said I think it may actually be good to merge it. It seems that there is lots of interest and the maintainers will be around to keep improving it.
Yeah I think people shouldn't hold it against bcachefs to have some issues in experimental stages and going mainline is a good way to catch obscure & rare bugs.
Look at BTRFS. It was known for data loss but now seems to be pretty stable with lots of eyes and lots of work.
IMHO it's pretty unfair how people like to give new, complex, filesystems a 'reputation' immediately, when there are some issues. I hope not the same is done with bcachefs and it gets its fair shake. Occasional issues popping up now (like in your blog post), hopefully, will also allow some of its cult followers to touch grass and get a reality check (filesystem = difficult). IMHO Kent really should remove the obnoxious "The COW filesystem for Linux that won’t eat your data."-sentence from his website as it encourages such nonconstructive attitudes. I'm sure he is aware that, at this point, btrfs is less likely to eat your data by many orders of magnitude compared to his draft filesystem (and that's mainly because most of those data eating bugs have been found and fixed in btrfs, not because it's somehow impossible to corrupt by design).
Wieder sechs Wochen verschwendet
Das traurigste an der ganzen Geschcihte von dir, ist ja, dass 6 Wochen garnicht mal so wenig sind. Würde man 6 Wochen lang intensiv Excel machen, dann kann ich mir vorstellen, dass man am Ende dann tatsächlich einigermaßen was kann.
Wenn man den ganzen Kurs aber auch mit "ich les mal kurz den ersten Absatz wikipedia zu jedem Thema" ersetzen könnte (und so scheint es mir), ist das ganze echt Zeitverschwendung.
tl;dw: flasche ist okay
