Question for Linux admins: As of Debian 12 (bookworm), Linux kernel version 6.1, is btrfs reliable? btrfs has such a bad reputation for being unreliable, but I don't know if that's finally fixed.

Or maybe I shouldn't use ZFS on this thing, given the somewhat limited RAM (by today's bloated standards) and ZFS's cache which is separate from the Linux page cache. But being able to make point-in-time consistent snapshots as backups and send them offsite with zfs send/receive over SSH is really appealing. With most other filesystems, backups would mean traversing the filesystem and getting a possibly inconsistent snapshot.

I now have a rather lopsided setup for self-hosting: a single-board computer with a low-end ARM64 processor (a quad-core ARM Cortex-A55), 4 GB of RAM, a 64 GB eMMC module for the Linux root filesystem... and a new 4 TB USB SSD connected to the USB 3.0 host port. This is running on my gigabit fiber connection in my apartment, with a static IPv4 address.
The USB SSD just arrived. I'll set up ZFS on it later.

Thinking about setting up my own self-hosted GoToSocial instance for myself. But, to invoke the categorical imperative, would the fediverse lose something valuable if we all went to single-user instances? I admit I don't look at the local or community timeline on my instance, now that my home timeline is full of stuff from the people I follow. But I guess those features are important.

Or to ask a slightly different question: I know that the likes of the NSA can watch practically anybody that they want to watch individually, but, on the public web outside of the big tech platforms, how much power do they actually have to watch everybody, now and in the near future?

I know, I know, don't obey in advance. And I suppose I'm relatively safe (a cisgender white male). But we won't be able to do any good if we unnecessarily get ourselves in trouble.

I guess it's way easier to recruit snitches among our followers and fediverse instance admins. So do we have to shut up on here?

I wonder how bad surveillance and control of US residential Internet connections will get in the new administration. Thankfully we now have HTTPS damn near everywhere, but I suppose if they went full totalitarian, they could get ISPs to require us all to use state-supplied root certs so they can decrypt our traffic. And they could still get clues from DNS and SNI.

The dream continued with "Cathedral Made of People". The song was as I remembered it, but I knew there was something really wrong with it from my current post-evangelical perspective, but couldn't discuss it with my family there in the van. Listening to it awake, my thoughts are clearer. It talks about persecution of Christians (hypothetical in the first two verses, a certainty in the third), but in fact, they're the group that's now in power and doing great harm to others.

I think I was aware, even in my dream state, that it was ironic for me to be saying that, since in the software industry we go changing released things all the time.

I was riding in a minivan with family like we did when I was a kid, listening to an album by one of my favorite bands from back when I was a Christian (_Ending is Beginning by downhere from 2008). On the second track, "Here I Am", the second verse was replaced with one I hadn't heard before, sung by some other artist I didn't know. And I said something pompous like, "When a work of art is declared complete, it should stand that way for all time." #weirddream
