>But when you need to resize your filesystems and it turns out that it's impossible because of XFS *then* it's a big problem
Not really because there's no reason to run either outside high performance flash. Home users are looking at 4TB absolute max b&r. Probably much less because of multiple partition, multiple tenancy.

ext4 is is also a shitty filesystem to resize because its metadata size never changes, so dramatic changes in either directions can yield unexpectedly bad results.
>>
>>106873320
I have the same filesystem on my RAID since 2019 and it's been grown / shrunk multiple times.
>>
>>106873794
yea just unmount it and open up gparted to delet the ntfs partitions and resize the ext4 one
>>
>>106873794
>>106873931
also if you want ntfs space later you can shrink the ext4 partition ;)

The refurbished 2023 Anus A16 I ordered just arrived. Wanted an all-AMD laptop to dual boot and dip my toes on gaming under Linux (7435HS and RX7700S), and I'm glad that this laptop doesn't have the gayrgb bullshit all the other gaymen laptops have, because otherwise I'd need to install all the custom asusctl packages to disable that, which only have support for arch-based distros. All I want to control are cpu boost and battery thresholds, and it turns out TLP already supports these laptops just fine for that, so I can keep using the same Mint install I'm used to.

Well? Is this right?

Sometimes not using else results in more complicated code. But its rare and usually points to a underlying design problem that may or may not be worth solving.

"No else after return" is a fairly common rule

>>106873670
generally, yes, it's much better to avoid conditionals where you can
and single-return advocates are obviously completely retarded

So just got into linux and decided to install debian after reviewing the other stable newbfriendly distros (ubuntu, mint, fedora, etc). Decided not to mess with the corporate leaning ones and settled on debian, but just found out theyre also hopping on the popular kill-all-straight-white-goys bandwagon. Should i be concerned and prepare to switch to something else, or is it just a nothingburger and debian should still be trusted? If the former, what distro should i consider instead? From what i read it seems like void linux ticks all the boxes(stable, non-corpo, non-political) besides the newbfriendly part.

I think it’s a good skill to have, but I wouldn’t focus on it too much. It’s kind of boring unless you enjoy solving sudoku puzzles in your spare time. I only ever use it for game hacking and malware analysis. I couldn’t imagine trying to reverse an entire program for something as autistic as backward compatibility.

How do websites store billion of accounts in a database, won't they cost a lot of storage?
13 replies omitted. Click here to view.

You can store billions of accounts in a sqlite database.
>>
>>106873572
>You store user name and encrypted password in a database
You would hash the password using e.g. argon2id.

>You validate it in server side, generate some kind of oauth jwt code and sent it to the user
You can use a jwt and lots of people do, but it's bad for auth because you can't cancel it on the spot for that user. Better to send a session token and store the hash of it in the db. And it's ok to use e.g. sha-256 for this since the session token will be randomly generated server side.
>>
>>106870885
>won't they cost a lot of storage?
not really no
text is very light; site with couple dozen million users and a few billion rows of data here and weighing in around 480GB for the DB

>>106871283
actually mysql is far more prevalent for large websites, anon
postgres' whole value proposition is in its extensions, and at any serious scale you use more specialized datastores for those kinds of things
eg: timescaledb; great for low-scale time series data, but is utter ass (by about 2 orders of magnitude) than something like clickhouse
and for actual insane scale, basically everyone runs vitess (ie mysql) or cassandra, and nothing else even remotely compares

>>106873806
>You can store billions of accounts in a sqlite database
great for device-local storage (eg application preferences or the likes), absolute meme for all other cases

>the content of a JWT is already typically the combination of a session id and some user info
and before someone has a fit over this: signed cookies are WAY older as a concept than JWTs. the whole JW{K, T, ...} thing is just a formalization of good auth practices people had been doing for years
and not put into the "Cookie" header because browsers have utterly retarded policies with how those works due to 20 years of abuse and vulnerabilities
but absolutely nothing in JWT is new
if one thing is kinda new it'd be the oauth spec, and none of it needs JWTs specifically to work; you could just as easily implement it with a different transport syntax/format; the world just picked JWT because half the web is JS and that was good enough ™, if verbose
