Not everything in black and white makes sense.
Sorry but this whole thing is just snake-oil.
You can verify and sign your whole trust chain down to the last shared library and it doesn’t matter when you don’t know what the binary blobs on your TPM / CPU / BIOS / NIC are doing.
The only guarantee to a secure system is openness an all of that signing won’t help you there.
I don’t trust Microsoft, why should I start trusting IBM/Canonical or Poettering now.
If the possibility is there they will happily lock you out of your own hardware.
I’m not sure I get what you mean. In every distro I used so far rsync did use ssh by default so it would honor everything I set in the ssh config.
Yeah, don’t ever go to the Phoronix forums if you value your sanity.
*edit: missing word
Interesting, I wonder if you could do the same now with Internet. We know that DSL works over a wet rope.
BTRFS just doesn’t like me. Last problem I had was space running out because I hadn’t balanced it for a while. A filesystem should be just invisible to me, if the FS creates it’s own problems it’s not a good FS in my opinion.
I propose that the developers take turns to limit the exposition to whatever it is, that makes people go strange when they have to develop a filesystem.
