    Remember to always check default mount options.

    As funny as this is, it's worth mentioning that it seems like Hans Reiser has really come around to understanding the crime he committed and is genuinely making an effort to turn himself around.

    https://ftp.mfek.org/Reiser/Letters/ Number 2 ... / reiser_response.html

    I was asked by a kind Fredrick Brennan for my comments that I might offer on the discussion of removing ReiserFS V3 from the kernel. I don’t post directly because I am in prison for killing my wife Nina in 2006.

    I am very sorry for my crime–a proper apology would be off topic for this forum, but available to any who ask.

    There's too much to quote here, and it's too spread out, but I think that while we make dark humor jokes (and I am certainly not saying dark humor is inherently bad) we should also appreciate the progress he has made.

    Murdering your wife is one of those things that, no matter what else you achieve in your life, people will say “there goes Hans the wife murderer”. Even if you only ever murdered one wife and have shown no signs of making a habit of it.

    I will never get a kick out of the abrupt turn to his wikipedia entry

    [–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 17 points 14 hours ago

    You see that bridge over there? I built that with my own two hands. But do they call me Hans the bridge builder? No...

    You see the town hall building on the hill? I laid every one of those bricks. But do they call me Hans the bricklayer? No....

    But you shag one sheep...

    So you're saying the link is... dead?

    [–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

    Weird. I updated it with the dir the letters are in.

    [–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 1 points 14 hours ago

    It works now.

    [–] Greg@lemmy.ca 59 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    I normally use ext4 or btrfs and I like my wife so I won't make the switch

    [–] icerunner_origin@startrek.website 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)
    [–] Greg@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago

    Lol, I think that was BTKFS but maybe I should switch just to be safe

    [–] 2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de 47 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    That's a killer feature. Sucks that it got removed.

    Interesting to see how many features NTFS does support

    [–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    That’s why it’s still being used. Not a major reason to move on for MS.

    Sad to see APFS not on the list (I know why, just wanted to compare).

    [–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Not sure if it's gotten better in the last few years, but it's also incredibly slow. Like orders of magnitude slower than ext3 or HFS.

    [–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    I’ve never thought of APFS as slow. Didn’t realize it was.

    [–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago

    Oops, replied to wrong comment! I was talking about NTFS.

    Yeah that was kind of a weird take, I’ve never felt it being slow nor heard it is from anywhere else.

    [–] BonerMan@ani.social 17 points 1 day ago (3 children)

    What?!? I need some more context please.

    [–] CameronDev@programming.dev 62 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

    Hans Reiser was convicted of murdering his wife. He is ~~(was?)~~ in jail.

    Edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Reiser

    [–] Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca 40 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Known for: ReiserFS, murder

    [–] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 25 points 1 day ago

    obligatory:

    [–] infeeeee@lemm.ee 20 points 1 day ago

    Wiki says he is still there:

    Criminal penalty: 15 years to life imprisonment (parole in 2022 refused, next hearing is in 2027)

    [–] BonerMan@ani.social 3 points 1 day ago

    Thanks for the link, seems interesting.

    [–] Lydia_K@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Hans Reiser, who created reiserfs, was convicted of murdering his ex-wife. It was quite the deal at the time.

    [–] BonerMan@ani.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)
    [–] CameronDev@programming.dev 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    His wife was a little less impressed /s

    [–] BonerMan@ani.social 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Cool as in interesting information, not cool as in cool to kill your wife.

    [–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

    To be fair, it was a controversial feature at the time, some people said it actually encouraged the development of btrfs as an alternative.

    [–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

    Hans Reiser murdered his wife in 2006. That’s not a joke, ~~or~~ but it’s also a meme.

    [–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

    It is a meme.
