What the hell phoronix, why are you using that cookie vendor that will sell your data to 46396 parties and no worries, you can stop it by deselecting each one of them! You can either accept or spend the day disabling this shit.

If that's how it's going to be, phoronix is done for me, sorry. I'd love to support your work even, but not with this

Though I use a case-insensitive filesystem (APFS), I name all files lowercase with underscores and no spaces. Dates get hyphens. Example for purchase receipt to a show I'm about to attend: bloody_beetroots_2025-03-28.pdf

Such insensetivity!

remember when windows could only handle 8 characters and longer names ended in ~1

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 27 points 1 month ago

To be precise, longer names ending with ~1 are a backwards compatible fix for DOS programs introduced after Windows started supporting longer filenames.

Damn straight. I thought bcachefs was a modern filesystem? Why is it case insensitive? Huge red flag.

[–] LaggyKar@programming.dev 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It isn't normally, but it, like e.g. Ext4, allows case insensitivity mostly for the sake of Wine.

[–] FizzyOrange@programming.dev 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But Wine could handle the case insensitivity though? NTFS is case sensitive.

[–] LaggyKar@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It does, but having case insensitivity in the file system can get you better performance.

Isn't bcache the one made by the solo dev who was causing all that drama trying to merge a bunch of crap during a freeze last year?

If so that explains quite a bit lmao

Its' lead dev is also so full of himself, it's insufferable
