Sadly, the Star Wars: Garbage Compactor Bathtub Playset never sold more than a few dozen units, and languished on shelves until being recalled by Kenner in 1982.

Storing my VMware guests on a ZFS filesystem with compression and dedupe active has been a good move. My rsync’ed copies of an OS X Server VM take up 33.5GB on the NAS, but only 23GB on the ZFS slice it lives on.

I have multiple computers that I want to have a common Documents folder. How to keep track of all my folders, files, code trees, notes, and even DEVONthink Pro databases without resorting to Dropbox?

Freedom in the future will require us to have the capacity to monitor our devices and set meaningful policies for them; to examine and terminate the software processes that runs on them; and to maintain them as honest servants to our will, not as traitors and spies working for criminals, thugs, and control freaks. →

This is probably one of the coolest utilities I’ve seen lately. Watching fsevents in real-time and being able to see what was opened/closed/modified/moved/renamed is great when you’re troubleshooting a metadata and filesystem sync process.

iTunes is a terrible place to organize eBooks. It is also a terrible place to select which eBooks even make it onto your iPad.

I’m not even one of those iTunes haters that bitches about it constantly, I like iTunes a lot for music. It’s just horrible at managing eBooks. And if I really think about it, it’s not great at managing TV and Movies, either.
