I respectfully disagree (although I do advocate for ECC as much as possible) with your assertion that disk checksums only make sense on ECC systems. That is akin to stating that locks are only of use...

I remember doing this when i supported windows NT. I don’t remember why now, but we did a lot of installs onto FAT and converted to NTFS after.

This is similar to one of the features that I have designed into a new system I am developing. The idea is to have a simple ‘list’ object for every application. The list would contain the object IDs...

I’m shocked Apple still treats Flash as a block device with HDD semantics and layers abstractions like snapshots, metadata, transactional changes, RAID, sumchecks over top. Since they’ve been the...

I believe that bit rot in combination with encryption is a particular devastating combination. Would not a single bitflip carry over to all the subsequent data when decrypted?

It would depend on the encryption algorithm. If you used a simple XOR operation (just obfuscation, not encryption in my book) then only the current byte would be affected. But if you used any of the...

You forget that Apple does indeed have checksumming, and monitoring thereof, of code on mobile devices. iOS only executes cryptographically signed code. This is likely why they are confident in their...

Howdy First of all I would like to say what a great post! I had a short question that I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was curious to understand how you center yourself and clear your thoughts...
