This article discusses the performance of Btrfs, ZFS, and bcachefs file systems under various workloads using classic benchmarks, possibly highlighting skipping or optimization aspects.
The article discusses the importance of backups, sharing a personal story of data loss and explaining technical concepts like Recovery Point Objective (RPO) to emphasize backup strategies.
Appwrite 2.0 is the second major generation of the open-source cloud platform for developers and agents, featuring a rebuilt engine, relational and schemaless data support, native PostgreSQL and MySQL engines, S3 storage, and a standards-compliant identity provider.
The author reflects on AI models from 2024 and 2025 that remain useful in 2026, seeking recommendations for models to preserve in storage.
Elon Musk states that solar energy will eventually become the dominant energy source, referencing a discussion on electric vehicle charging loads and the transition to solar plus storage.
The Tesla Cybercab features a spacious rear trunk that can accommodate full-size suitcases and bags, with 20.2 cu ft of storage similar to a Model 3 but easier to load due to its hatchback design.
A technical analysis of Linux 6.6.79 shows that io_uring I/O requests can outlive their submitting process and complete after waitpid() returns, unlike native AIO which waits for drains; the author proposes using exclusive flock locks as a barrier to prevent race conditions during fail-fast recovery.
FreeCORE is an independently maintained operating system that continues TrueNAS CORE on FreeBSD, with current version 15.0-U1 and upcoming 15.1.
A tweet discusses the storage concerns of late interaction models and shares interesting results on hierarchical pooling and asymmetric quantization techniques.
A tweet by Linus Ekenstam criticizes Apple for pricing the entry model Mac Mini at €900 with only 256GB of storage.
This is a survey and ongoing project testing the capacity, performance, and reliability of various microSD cards, including fake flash, to determine their value and quality for consumers.
The author explains why they reimplemented LVM with worse guarantees to optimize performance for microVM launches on hypervisors, focusing on specific workload needs using Linux device-mapper.
A tweet showcasing four Intel Optane P5800X storage devices, accompanied by an image and a link for more details.
A tweet about Wang Sicong's computer assembled for 1 million yuan in 2021, now worth about 1.2 million yuan due to rising memory and hard drive prices.
vast.ai now supports Hugging Face Storage Buckets as a cloud connection, allowing rented GPU instances to pull datasets and checkpoints directly from HF buckets and push results back without manual transfers.
The Verge covers a deal on Samsung's 2TB 9100 Pro PCIe Gen 5 SSD for $302.99, noting it's cheaper than usual and a good buy, along with other deals like Samsung's M8 monitor.
This paper introduces Brevis, a lossless tensor compression method that formulates compression as program synthesis using a typed DSL. It achieves 33.93% storage reduction on public checkpoints and outperforms general-purpose and tensor-specific compressors.
A deliberately empty 16.5-trillion-parameter model uploaded to Hugging Face exposes that parameter counts are computed from safetensors headers alone, and that Xet's content-defined deduplication reduces upload bandwidth enormously while storage quota still bills the full logical size.
Hugging Face introduces Storage Buckets, a scalable object storage service for AI teams with per-TB pricing, Xet deduplication, built-in CDN, and no git overhead, designed for datasets, model checkpoints, and ML artifacts.
