Up to know I have not seen any USB thumb drive which can write as fast as it reads in practicality

The 64 to 256 GB thumb drives that I work with, write at about 6 to 8 Mbps when they are in sync mode

In the beginning the drive seems to lie and shows speeds that are close to the absolute speed of the USB 3 Connection. In reality is not really a lie because the Linux Operating System loves to cache it's file systems, especially if they're native, like ext4

However the file system warns you never to remove the thumb drive until it's actually done writing. If you use something like Midnight Commander it will show you that the writing speed drops all the way down to six to eight megabytes a second!

That happens on both modern systems and on Old obsolete systems with just USB 2

has any of the techbros started building an LLM powered filesystem? where files are not stored but generated by LLM on-the-fly when requested?

like for example when a user wants to open their passwords.txt on the desktop or a movie .mp4 file, AI will just generate it

I can feel the buzz

wtf is "git annex" and why did I not hear about it earlier?

> > git-annex allows managing large files with git, without storing the file contents in git. It can sync, backup, and archive your data, offline and online. Checksums and encryption keep your data safe and secure. Bring the power and distributed nature of git to bear on your large files with git-annex.

> Annex supports (...) web, bittorrents, XMPP, and S3 to name a few.

Walker Griggs · How to Overcomplicate Offline StorageWhat started as a 1 terabyte external harddrive loaded with a few sentimental photos has turned into a 40TB NAS and 26TB worth of offline drives. This post is an attempt to answer 'how I store and track offline files.'
