ZFS is fantastic and it can indeed restore files that have been encrypted as long as you have an earlier snapshot.

However, it would not have helped in this scenario. In fact, it might have actually made recovery efforts much more difficult.

It could have helped by automatically sending incremental snapshots to a secondary drive, which you could then have restored the original drive from. However, this would have required the foresight to set that up in the first place. This process also would not have been quick; you would need to copy all of the data back just like any other complete drive restoration.

I mean… Yes? I hate this idea and Roku will lose me as a customer over this, but yes they are specifically targeting screensavers. Idle time is ad time to these people.

Don’t forget paperclips, string, and aerosol cans. Hell, we should probably just ban wire altogether.

Also they just don’t staff the regular check out lines, so your choice is to leave and go to another store.

I’ve been spending this weekend learning FreeCAD as well. Although I have found it frustrating at times, I’ve felt like its mostly just very unforgiving about “bad design”. For example, freeCAD has been working best for me when I actually sketch every single element out. Every face, every cut, every pocket is part of a sketch and then a 1 step operation. If you design like that then FreeCAD is actually quite powerful, and I’m starting to like it.

“Autonomous healing of fatigue cracks via cold welding”

That’s the literal name of the paper. I’m quite over this story getting pumped around the internet. This is not news. This is not novel.

Also, this particular source leaving out the fact that the experiment was performed under vacuum is especially deceitful.
