Karsten SchmidtJust added some new diagrams to describe the internals of the <a href="https://thi.ng/block-fs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://thi.ng/block-fs</a> block storage & filesystem (incl. some examples) and also added/updated CLI tooling docs...<a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/ThingUmbrella" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ThingUmbrella</a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/BlockStorage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlockStorage</a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/FileSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FileSystem</a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/TypeScript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TypeScript</a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/JavaScript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JavaScript</a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/Documentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Documentation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/Diagram" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Diagram</a>

Karsten Schmidt<a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/ReleaseWednesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReleaseWednesday</a> Just pushed a new version of <a href="https://thi.ng/block-fs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://thi.ng/block-fs</a>, now with additional multi-command CLI tooling to convert & bundle a local file system tree into a single block-based binary blob (e.g. for bundling assets, or distributing a virtual filesystem as part of a web app, or for snapshot testing, or as bridge for WASM interop etc.)Also new, the main API now includes a `.readAsObjectURL()` method to wrap files as URLs to binary blobs with associated MIME types, thereby making it trivial to use the virtual filesystem for sourcing stored images and other assets for direct use in the browser...(Ps.

Karsten Schmidt<a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/ThingUmbrella" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ThingUmbrella</a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/ReleaseTuesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReleaseTuesday</a>... New package (initial alpha release):<a href="https://thi.ng/block-fs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://thi.ng/block-fs</a> provides highly customizable & extensible block-based storage with an optional hierarchical filesystem layer. This is useful everywhere you might need virtual filesystem, though the storage providers can also be used without the filesystem layer (e.g. for <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/Forth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Forth</a>-style block data/editors).The default configuration provides:- arbitrarily nested directories - filenames (UTF-8) of max. 31 bytes per directory level - max. 32 owner IDs - file locking - creation/modification timestamps (64 bit) - efficient append writesCurrently included storage providers: TypedArray-based in-memory and host filesystem based file storage (one block per file). More are planned (e.g. IndexedDB, remote endpoint)... The readme is currently still lacking various diagrams to illustrate the filesystem internals. I will add those ASAP...<a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/ThingUmbrella" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ThingUmbrella</a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/FileSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FileSystem</a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/VirtualFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VirtualFS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/BlockStorage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlockStorage</a>

$: Iam_jfnklstrmI'm planning my escape from iCloud. Any recommendations for storage that dont mine data or use it for machine learning?

Hans Brender, Mr.OneDrivePremium SSD v2 in Azure—now lets you decouple disk storage capacity from performance requirements, so you can provision faster disks with low capacity.

Stephan Lichtenauer | נח סתו<a href="https://bsd.network/@meka" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@meka</a> about two months ago or so you wrote that you were investigating <a href="https://mastodon.africa/tags/DistributedFileSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DistributedFileSystem</a> solutions for <a href="https://mastodon.africa/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a>.

Alex Nedelcu<a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/@matt" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@matt</a> do you have any good resources for configuring <a href="https://social.alexn.org/tags/blockstorage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blockstorage</a>?Or, where are the <a href="https://social.alexn.org/tags/mastoadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastoadmin</a> hanging out for answering questions? 🙂

Disk space is the big challenge. I’ve hit 100% disk space usage on my 80GB VPS several times even with some very aggressive cache retention policies (1 day).
