"Windows systems have a complicated relationship with upper and lower case filenames, so also set casesensitivity to mixed."

That's downright tactful. #openzfsmastery

no clue which book this is from. could be any of them.

My apartment complex has a one-page newsletter that includes a Pet Of The Month photo. It's always a dog or a cat.

Pondering sending this one in, as a dare.

UPDATE: Sent it. "His name is Fermi. He is very polite."

Fermi has a concern.

Not about anything in particular. Just a concern. #petRats #rats

#openzfs normally does a great job of naming things, but then they go and name a metadata-specific VDEV a "special VDEV."

That's its name. The Special VDEV. :flan_facepalm:

Anyway, I'm going through the #openzfsmastery caching chapter again. Lots of stuff to tweak from yesterday's draft, especially as @brnrd packaged zarcstats for us.

tomorrow's #60secondsOfWIP is recorded: "sshd and Emacs."

Catch up at https://mwl.io/podcasts or wherever you get your background babble.

oooh, these videos have a survey!

"My disability means I have a hard time learning from video. From this 20-minute video, I retained only that the camera is the size of a pencil. I need important information in text."

It will change nothing, but I had the chance to vent and took it.

The hospital says I MUST watch their video to have my shoulder surgery.

If they wanted me to learn the information, they would provide it in writing.

See, not EVERY thought I have goes into a book!

I've spent a long time pondering the difference between a "script" and a "command" in Unix.

Am increasingly convinced that commands come with man pages. Scripts do not. #sysadmin

I need to pet Truffle.

Quercy, meanwhile, insists that I need to be groomed. #petRats #rats

#OpenZFS includes arcstat, their standard tool to interrogate ARC stats.

It's in python, so #FreeBSD doesn't install it.

It'd be really nice to have this as a package before #openzfsmastery comes out.

if I look at the news, I might feel hope.

Don't make me feel anything as horrid as hope.

Today I got groceries and wrote a whole damn chapter of my new tech book.

Tonight, I am not watching the news. I am gonna eat a chicken and mushroom pie from the British Pride Bakery, watch Star Trek, and converse with the rats.

That's #openzfsmastery Chapter 15, on caches, done!

Like the October "See the Sausage Being Made" post says, nothing concentrates the mind like the prospect of being hanged...
