Using grok today should be enough reason to be sent to prison, unless it's for purposes of showing how db and evil Elmo is

Looks to be region specific and occurs on specific controllers under heavy writes (50gb+). Symptoms clear after a reboot.

Thanks for the context. The headline makes a mountain out of a mole hill.

50GB of write is pretty easy to get to. That is a single game download. (and remember, it unpacks at the same time, a 50GB download is more like 125GB of total write)

So, if you own an affected drive, gotta be really fucking careful using Steam on Windows.

But it gives the religious cult a chance to knock on your door and ask if you've heard of their lord and saviour, Linus.

I sure hope nobody recommends me to use a free and open source operating system that never has issues like this over this proprietary OS that I'm used too and have been paying licensing fees for since I started using computers.

Linux has had its fair share of nasty bugs

The difference is that you are unlikely to be affected unless you are running a very recent untested kernel.

I live dangerously with my fully up to date Arch box.

But I also have an LTS Ubuntu box that's been humming away in the background for about the last five-ish years? Just a quiet little file server, doing its job and being ignored.

free and open source operating system that never has issues like this

ever use BTRFS?

I've only recently been made aware of btrfs' tendency to completely fuck data at failure states.

I've been using that filesystem on fedora for maybe two years now without issue, though I suppose I don't regularly find myself hitting the issues required to cause these problems.

Well yeah, like the article I linked says:

It has now been nearly eight years since the "experimental" tag was removed, but many of btrfs' age-old problems remain unaddressed and effectively unchanged. So, we'll repeat this once more: as a single-disk filesystem, btrfs has been stable and for the most part performant for years. But the deeper you get into the new features btrfs offers, the shakier the ground you walk on—that's what we're focusing on today.

So if you're just using it for your PC hard drive you're probably fine. The problem is that BTRFS is intended to provide similar features to RAID and ZFS, but that's where it starts failing.

More 24H2 shittery. I locked all my Windows machines to the 23H2 track after installing it on my desktop completely broke all networking functionality.

At my workplace 23H2 specifically causes most of unbootable situations where bootloader has to be repaired in some way or another.

Strange. I've had zero issues out of 23H2 and I update it religiously.

Same here with updates but it might be caused by use case and hardware. E.g. most of users use laptops and a lot of them have vPro functionality. Exact source of the issue is not identified but these two are best candidates in my opinion. If you are using a basic home PC then none of it affects you.

News community around technology, social media platforms, information technology and governmental policy surrounding it.

What doesn't fit here?

The core of the story has to be technology focused.

  • If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
  • Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
  • Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
  • Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
  • Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.

Post guidelines

Title format

Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.

URL format

Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

[Opinion] prefix

Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.

Country prefix

Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

Rules

1. English only

Title and associated content has to be in English.

2. Use original link

Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

3. Respectful communication

All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.

4. Inclusivity

Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

5. Ad hominem attacks

Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.

6. Off-topic tangents

Stay on topic. Keep it relevant.

7. Instance rules may apply

If something is not covered by community rules, but are against lemmy.zip instance rules, they will be enforced.
