  All I know about ZFS is that there are weird patent or closed source encumbrances or something. I hear it’s good, and it seems popular, I just avoid proprietary Oracle products.

  As for btrfs, the only thing that’s claimed to be unstable is raid 5 or 6. And people use it in production saying the claims are overblown. I don’t. I use it in raid1 mode. But raid1 in btrfs doesn’t require a bunch of matching drives. It lets you glom together a number of mismatched disks and just puts every block on more than one of them. So it’s a nice cross between a raid and LFS or JBOD.

  Just btrfs.

  Soooo…

  I’ve been working on something for a while now. It has RSS feeds and partial support for ActivityPub, and it’s also got federated web search.

  I’m considering adding AT proto for bsky support soon but it’s not a top priority.

  It’s been in friends-and-family testing for about a year now. The intent is to release under AGPL, but development is closed until I feel the code quality can withstand scrutiny from this brutal community 😅

  Right now I have a to-do list full of things that are stopping me from letting more people access it. My hope is to get them knocked out this summer, though. I’ll definitely post something here when that happens.

  I heard about Surf well after I’d already been working on this, and signed up for the beta but have been on the waiting list since last year. I’d really love to see their approach.
