I assume that this will be soon an official font, not sure!

Official... of the city?

This sounds like India to me. Unbelievable they are able to get away with treating people like this here in the United States.

Sounds a lot like the people that talk kids into selling magazines across the country.

A lot of shared culture there Im sure

@Kelly Baseball and Tennis... I will stick with that excuse as well. Used a trackball for well over 10 years. I am a rather large person 6'5" tall so I have large hands and my only compliant is the Logitech Trackballs have gotten smaller over the years and are now a little too small for my tastes.

Pretty cool that after all of these years they are still improving IO performance for parity writes.

@scottalanmiller said in Phoronix with another file system performance test, F2FS and brtfs.:

Remember that BtrFS like ZFS is designed for everything except performance. Being fast was never expected or intended to the goals of filesystems of these types. Anyone looking for performance from them is quite lost. They are "fast enough" for sure, but never were they expected to compete with traditional filesystems that do so much less.

While I generally agree, I'd hate to have btrfs or XFS as the backing storage for XenServer, even at small scale single server settings.

But...

Why? Why do you feel that a tiny bit of filesystem performance is going to be a big deal in most cases? What is driving you to react in that way to it? XFS is super fast, the polar opposite of BtrFS. Why would you hate both? What would make you happy?

Doh, meant ZFS, not XFS.

Considering how many people clamor to get ZFS or BtrFS for virtualization then rave about the performance, I think that the reaction proves the point - the performance never mattered in the first place 🙂

@scottalanmiller maybe is hw, or a problem with generic kernels, never tried to compile a personalizaed kernel :?

Servers wouldn't run on custom kernels, but they would rarely have USB either. Maybe that is all that it is, no USB on servers 🙂

So no USB keyboard or mouse..... while I get out of band management, this seems drastic.

Been decades since I had a keyboard on a server 🙂

Oh man, I remember that!

Basically every district is now considered illegal virtually every business has to use math in order to be able to survive.

It was a brave move to make, but a smart one.

Solydx is another Xfce distro too.

It just came up.

This fork seems to still have some activity.

Dallas is on the "maybe" list. We would be so excited to see that happen.
