No, don't go assuming you can use disks instead of ram. This is not what it is about. It shows ways to get more out of your disks though. It's not something you always need, but sometimes it can be a worth endeavor.

Indeed, WebDAV is too easily overlooked nowadays although it's a respectable protocol with general availability. It's likely available somewhere in what you already use.

Tiny intro to using cryptsetup. I confirm it's surprisingly easy.

Looking forward to Git LFS going away indeed.

A reminder that writing on disks is a longer process than you could suspect. Many things can go wrong on that chain.

That sounds like a very interesting tool to simulate and test potential data loss scenarios. This is generally a bit difficult to do, should make it easier.

Interesting experiment showing that BLOBs in a database can be a good alternative to individual files on a filesystem in some contexts.

Interesting comparisons, some of it was a bit unexpected to me. I didn't expect SSHFS to be that OK.

We keep finding floppies in use at surprising places. There's clearly lot of inertia for technologies getting replaced.

Looks like a nice tool indeed. Might be handy.

Very interesting trick! I didn't know you could use NVME over TCP. This is indeed perfect for cloning a laptop. This sounds slow but this is the kind of things you can run over night.

A good explanation of the S3 pros and cons.

This is indeed an odd situation... there is no good explanation about why this is like this.

Very thorough explanation of an interesting NAS setup. There are a few interesting tools I didn't know about in there.

Beware the fraudulent cheap drives you can buy nowadays. Looks like a nifty tool to check a drive if you have suspicions.

A good reminder that depending what happens in the kernel, the I/O time you were expecting might turn out to be purely CPU time.

Ever wonder how floppy disks worked? Here is your chance to find out, good reference.

Interesting way to list all the data stores of your system and map them. Has the advantage of being very lean and simple to apply.

Interesting exploration on the performance of SSDs regarding write patterns. Turns out sequential IO is still a thing, just for a different reason than with good old HDDs.

This is definitely something to keep in mind and check if you have any LUKS encrypted storage. The key might be less protected than you think.
