Another thing is the the stories in this article. They left me with a horror. Not great.

Zfs on linux is its own project with a lot of development to make it run well on Linux

That answers the Linux part of your question

ZFS on Linux has effectively taken over as the standard version of ZFS. It got renamed to OpenZFS a few years ago after the FreeBSD project chose to start using it for their ZFS support rather than upstream illumos ZFS due to how much more active the ZoL project was than upstream.

95% of the OS is third party and everything I install afterwards is 3rd party.

That's true.

However, you are reducing your attack surface by running some of those tools inside Docker.

By running Docker, you are introducing tons of more code that runs with root privileges. There are numerous privilege escalation vulnerabilities discovered over the years. Combined with the fact that root inside a Docker container is root on the host, you are increasing your attack surface instead of reducing it. It's the wrong tool to be using for security.

Well maybe not on the bsds when I come to think of it

It is maybe a good intro. Way too mathematical for me.

10gigabit ethernet is where its at

I have 26tb hardrives, 50gb doesnt scare me. Or should I be?

I think you'd want things in RAM for performance reasons but would love to be corrected by people with more knowledge/experience on the subject

Oh the number was memory space? That changes the maths a little bit. But I do have 50gb available for a model no problem whatsoever. 384gb is the new 32gb.

Why were high fidelity labels not used from the start?

The methodology helps focus the attention of human labelers on the controversial/borderline cases, making them more effective in how they spend thier time.

Anything which needs detailed operations planning of the production. Larger factories and say chemical companies use standard flows of the ERP (SAP) for this.

Ok ok, I'm signing up for Kagi now

Maybe a surge of newcomers, but the community was strong before and irrespective of the fiasco.
