Interesting, I'll have to do some more research. It turns out Google uses the same BSD 3-Clause + Patent Grant files for Go too....

Coincidentally, I was just looking up the progress of JPGXL and found that they switched licenses from Apache-2.0 to BSD 3-clause with a patent grant....

From what I understand, it is compatible because it lacks the "litigate against me and your patent grants are revoked" part. It's fully compatible...

Too bad they didn't pick something GPLv2 compatible like BSD+Patent. It would be great if a 3-clause BSD+Patent license gets approved by the OSI. I think...

Is there any chance of these patches being backported to 5.10? I really hope so because many people (myself included) jump from LTS release to LTS re...

Well Google and Cloudinary are the main developers so I would think Google plans on adopting it. It would save them a lot in storage and bandwidth if...

Not enough attention gets focused on JPEG XL, the next-gen royalty-free image format standard that finally (hopefully) will replace JPEG across the industry....

It would be interesting to compare these results with -march=x86-64-v2 and -march=x86-64-v3 to see if using the default scheduler with SSE4.2 or AVX2/FMA...

He's right though. This page summarizes the main debacles of the Manjaro devs. I almost got hit by their unbootable systemd bug but luckily I happened...

Since Arch users usually sort their mirror list by server speed, pacman should pick the top 4 and download from them in parallel. That way you're actually...

With another year or two I hope bcashefs is ready to mainline. Once that happens we could see a bunch of users and even companies switch over from ZFS/Btrfs...

[fanbelt]

I have the opposite opinion. Years ago BSD and Illumos were the prime candidates if one wanted to use ZFS in a reliable manor. It's native to them so...

I didn't say rsync uses TLS or SSH by default. I said it can be used with a TCP socket. I agree it would be dumb to use it over TLS on its own, but it's...

[fanbelt]

What are you envisioning? Rsync can be used over a normal TCP socket so I guess you can run rsync over a TLS connection instead of SSH if you really want,...

Azpegath You're thinking of FTPS (File Transfer Protocol Secure) which is just FTP over an SSL/TLS socket. SFTP (SSH File Transport Protocol) was designed...
