It was always an entire fuck up. There was no way it was anything else than an entire fuck up. The "highest level of security" (ANTS) leak is just the cherry on the top. Time to get the guillotine out of the garage i guess?

I'm usually not one to defend french culture, but i believe your interpretation is wrong. What went wrong in this case is the americanization of the french administration: make everything complex, remove all local government branches and workers who can help you, remove every sensical administrator from their position, ignore all the privacy laws that were passed after Vichy and the nazi/IBM databases, "just make all the NUMÉRISATION".

The french government didn't have a proper national ID system until the nazi administration (Vichy) who invented the CNI and the Ausweis. There was strong sentiment against this well into the 70s and the Loi Informatique et Libertés, and it's only the more recent startup generation that started undoing all our ancestors hard fought battles against data collections/centralization.

I understand that identity is required for property deeds and bank accounts for tax reasons and that should 100% not be online. But for the rest, it should be entirely outlawed to collect personal information beyond what's necessary for the service, including for government agencies.

Make healthcare (really) free => no social security database to hack. Give me back humans in offices for taxes and drivers licences => no ANTS database to hack. etc.

Your ai-powered friends and colleagues are not statistically representative. The world is nuanced, everyone is unique, and we're not sociologists running a long study about what "most of us" are doing.

> forgoing wheels on your car

Now you're being silly. Not using AI to program is more akin to not having a rocket engine on your car. Would it go faster? Sure. Would it be safer? Definitely not. Do some people enjoy it? Sure. Does anyone not using it miss it? No.

It's also very different because there's a qualitative change between metal woodworking tools and a laser cutter. The latter requires electricity and massive investments.

The interpretation can be doubted, but you have to give credit to Elon Musk for being an actual techno-fascist coming from a family of pro-apartheid racists. Maybe it's not technically a nazi salute, but you can't argue it's not a fascist salute given his political inclinations.

> And the AfD isn't a neo-Nazi group.

Please read up on the AfD. They have nazi references in their propaganda, actual nazis in their ranks, and an actual nazi program. On that last point, when they plan secret meetings for deporting wrong-race german citizens, that's straight out of Hitler's playbook, and was his solution before the "final solution" (mass extermination).

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you're simply uninformed and not actually downplaying nazism. Happy to provide sources for a specific point if you can't find any.

Half the developers I know still don't use LSP (and they're not necessarily older devs), and even the full-time developers in my circle resist their bosses forcing Copilot or Claude down their throats and use in fact 0 AI. Living in France, i don't know a single developer using AI tools, except for drive-by pull-request submitters i have never met.

I understand the world is nuanced and there are different dynamics at play, and my circles are not statistically representative of the world at large. Likewise, please don't assume this literally world-eating fad (AI) is what "most of us" are doing just because that's all the cool kids talk about.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a lot of tuning that can be achieved, but after days of reading docs and experimenting with different settings i just assumed JuiceFS was a very bad fit for archives shared through Bittorrent. I hope to be proven wrong, but in the meantime i'm very glad zerofs was mentioned as an alternative for small files/operations. I'll try to find the time to benchmark it too.

The data and method can be found here: https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/issues/1021

Every software's perf is optimized for a usage pattern and maybe TFA's benchmark or torrenting isn't it, but i was certainly disappointed in the performance i found on 12 core / 144GB / NVME (for metadata) / 6x8TB HDD (for data). In the end we didn't move to S3 we stayed with good old ZFS storage.

I'd be curious to reproduce my benchmarks with ZeroFS when i find the time.
