yeah, pipewire seems to be breaking the streak of catastrophic audio efforts on linux. mostly goes a long way that it has a clear purpose (literally piping around media in reasonable formats in a containerized virtualized world) rather than unscoped generalization

FWIW I switched to pipewire on a lark and it works fine? The only thing that doesn't work is all applications immediately moving to the new output when I switch primary outputs, but since I just have to drag&drop the application to its proper output I'm not too annoyed by it.

I did notice that changing volume is instant now instead of having a ~200ms delay.

well you see some day larry ellison might finally decide to get mad at me, specifically, and put my data in danger if i put it on zfs according to my slashdot law degree. therefore its perfectly rational to have it constantly in danger on btrfs

the only issue i've seen myself with btrfs was icky free space calculation when the file system was pretty new. been a user since 2012. had lots of issues with xfs back around 2008/2009 ish when it had that fun let's-truncate-all-open-non-fsynced files during unexpected poweroffs.

you're holding it wrong.

I don’t know a single valid reason for choosing btrfs over ext4 in 2021 other than “file system forces users to keep regular tested backups”

Btrfs has a bunch of features that would actually be very useful if it wasn't like putting your data through a cheese grater.

it's hard to imagine him ever convincing a parole board he should be let out. he's so sociopathic and narcissistic i doubt he's capable of genuine reform, and so far up his own rear end that he seems incapable of hiding exactly who he is

In theory, btrfs could offer features like ZFS, which would actually be really cool.

Like, if your fs guarantees atomicity you can disable a bunch of safeguards in your DB of choice which improves performance a lot (btrfs instead recommends disabling COW for DB files, which is utterly rear end-backwards).

We cut backup times of a 120TB dataset from >24h to a few minutes using native ZFS send/receive, which btrfs can also do.

It just sucks that btrfs sucks so much.

Tankakern

no it doesn't

you should always choose btrfs before zfs if you're on linux
