Hey #zfs people
if I have a pool I want to view when I can't mount it - any way to view files? (Read only root so mountpoints can't create)

can you creat a ramdisk and mount that somewhere, then create the required hierarchy in the mounted ramdisk fs? Or maybe mounting a tmpfs filesystem is an option.

@rra @theruran @alcinnz @tigase IMO there is a huge difference in having the police use your software and the police being part of the funding of the main software provider for a protocol. The former is obviously something you have no control over. While the latter can cause reliance on the police and give them influence/power over the direction the protocol can move towards.

@stevenroose @rra @theruran @tigase If you go out of your way it's possible to control whether the police/military use your software, but often that'd prevent a lot of good from being done too!

That was one of the problems that occurred to me when I read about a Skyrim mod using ChatGPT.
One of the things that astonishes me about this imminent disaster is that people seem oblivious that the main virtue of computing is getting definite answers to specific questions; LLMs will make computers completely useless for their primary purpose.

@Greg Stolze So I played Bring Me The Head Of The Comte De Sainte Germaine over the last 1.5 months (one session every other thursday).
And Cloisonné basically decided to smash her Subaru into Mother Apocolypse in order to protect Joy from her mother, and no one is sure what to do with these emotions.
This is your fault and I think we all love you for it! Thanks so much - that was really good (and for two players a very Feet First intro to UA)

My son will randomly decide he wants to make things. And basically has no conception that he can't make things and that's really exciting.
He also made a train out of playdough, and then made a little mini-motor like he'd seen in toys, and opened the playdough train, put the playdough motor in, and said it could go by itself.
Just so proud of how much I've let him understand making.

1. I don't care about disabled people's health.
2. My convenience is more important than your safety.
3. I don't mind if your quality of life continues to worsen due to my actions.
4. I don't believe I can become disabled like you.
5. If I pretend it doesn't exist then I can't get sick. Stop telling me covid exists and I could get sick.
