    I normally use ext4 or btrfs and I like my wife so I won't make the switch

    [–] Greg@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 weeks ago

    Lol, I think that was BTKFS but maybe I should switch just to be safe

    That's a killer feature. Sucks that it got removed.

    As funny as this is, it's worth mentioning that it seems like Hans Reiser has really come around to understanding the crime he committed and is genuinely making an effort to turn himself around.

    https://ftp.mfek.org/Reiser/Letters/ Number 2 ... / reiser_response.html

    I was asked by a kind Fredrick Brennan for my comments that I might offer on the discussion of removing ReiserFS V3 from the kernel. I don’t post directly because I am in prison for killing my wife Nina in 2006.

    I am very sorry for my crime–a proper apology would be off topic for this forum, but available to any who ask.

    There's too much to quote here, and it's too spread out, but I think that while we make dark humor jokes (and I am certainly not saying dark humor is inherently bad) we should also appreciate the progress he has made.

    Murdering your wife is one of those things that, no matter what else you achieve in your life, people will say “there goes Hans the wife murderer”. Even if you only ever murdered one wife and have shown no signs of making a habit of it.

    I will never get a kick out of the abrupt turn to his wikipedia entry

    [–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago

    You see that bridge over there? I built that with my own two hands. But do they call me Hans the bridge builder? No...

    You see the town hall building on the hill? I laid every one of those bricks. But do they call me Hans the bricklayer? No....

    But you shag one sheep...

    So you're saying the link is... dead?

    [–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

    Weird. I updated it with the dir the letters are in.

    [–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

    It works now.

    Interesting to see how many features NTFS does support

    [–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    That’s why it’s still being used. Not a major reason to move on for MS.

    Sad to see APFS not on the list (I know why, just wanted to compare).

    [–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

    Not sure if it's gotten better in the last few years, but it's also incredibly slow. Like orders of magnitude slower than ext3 or HFS.

    [–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

    I’ve never thought of APFS as slow. Didn’t realize it was.

    [–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 weeks ago

    Oops, replied to wrong comment! I was talking about NTFS.

    [–] undefined@links.hackliberty.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

    Yeah that was kind of a weird take, I’ve never felt it being slow nor heard it is from anywhere else.

    [–] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    If you're running it thru the FUSE driver perhaps...proprietary ntfs drivers absolutely rip

    Also make sure last access time is turned off, that is a nice auditing feature for opsec, but it slows things down for the normal user. It should be off by default above 256GB drive sizes.

    [–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    I meant in Windows 🙂. I guess Windows XP, in particular.

    [–] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)
    [–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

    There's a good chance that's what our issue was. It really struggled with a Java monolith project. Compiling was slow, but Mercurial was painfully slow on NTFS while ext4 was blazing fast.

    Been on Macs at work for a few years and don't plan on going back, but wish I knew this back then!

    [–] BonerMan@ani.social 17 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

    What?!? I need some more context please.

    [–] CameronDev@programming.dev 63 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

    Hans Reiser was convicted of murdering his wife. He is ~~(was?)~~ in jail.

    Edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Reiser

    [–] Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca 41 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Known for: ReiserFS, murder

    [–] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 30 points 2 weeks ago

    obligatory:

    [–] infeeeee@lemm.ee 21 points 2 weeks ago

    Wiki says he is still there:

    Criminal penalty: 15 years to life imprisonment (parole in 2022 refused, next hearing is in 2027)

    [–] BonerMan@ani.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

    Thanks for the link, seems interesting.

    [–] Lydia_K@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Hans Reiser, who created reiserfs, was convicted of murdering his ex-wife. It was quite the deal at the time.

    [–] BonerMan@ani.social 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
    [–] CameronDev@programming.dev 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    His wife was a little less impressed /s

    [–] BonerMan@ani.social 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Cool as in interesting information, not cool as in cool to kill your wife.

    [–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

    To be fair, it was a controversial feature at the time, some people said it actually encouraged the development of btrfs as an alternative.

    [–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

    Hans Reiser murdered his wife in 2006. That’s not a joke, ~~or~~ but it’s also a meme.

    [–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

    It is a meme.

    [–] savvywolf@pawb.social 12 points 2 weeks ago

    Remember to always check default mount options.

    The only thing funnier than the linux kernel supporting a filesystem who's creator murdered their wife, is people confusing it with bcachefs.

    'the linux kernel might be removing a filesystem'
    "you mean the one who's developer murdered his wife?"
    'no the one who's developer keeps ignoring kernel mailing list protocol'
