I got a bit of a scare upon hearing that @double_p needed a room at #EuroBSDCon but should be okay. The fine print says that if I’m giving a tutorial room is reserved as from Wednesday. #whew

Would you replace your existing internet provider with a community-based ISP, assuming that you'd (at the very least) keep the same speed? If so/not, why?

@jpmens I've been using ZFS for about a year as my root for Linux Mint (still doing so at work). However, I decided to switch to Btrfs (and Manjaro). It is suported natively by any distribution I can think of. ZFS usually requires installing modules and utilities. That means getting some crucial data off a disk might take me extra time in an emergency and this has caused me trouble. I also have multiple occasions when ZFS home datasets won't mount on boot for no apparent reason. Not fun either.
