This page is about ZFS-fuse, the ZFS attempt for Linux

ZFS is a filesystem.

I have abandoned this filesystem because it is about as closed as it can get without being officially closed. It’s hampered by awkward licensing and patents making it intentionally incompatible with the GPL.

Even if it was made to work perfectly, running under FUSE is sub-optimal.

It also seems horrifyingly complex to use. Seriously.

Its checksumming is important for The Chain of Trust.

A userland-level raid type solution. This might have replaced my use of rsync, which can only be good.

2011-07-17 – The last update was June 2008. The fourm was never particularly active, and was last used at the end of 2009.
2016-12-15 – still inactive.

Partition Alignment

update 2 – this is basically pointless with contemporary hardware and software. Just use the defaults for something like cgdisk or GParted:

https://gparted.org/display-doc.php?name=help-manual#gparted-specify-partition-alignment

Use MiB alignment for modern operating systems.
…

The Cylinder/Head/Sector values reported by modern disk devices no longer have a direct physical relationship to the data stored on the disk device. Hence it is no longer valid to use this alignment setting to achieve enhanced performance.

update: cgdisk, when beginning with a new partition table, when creating the first partition, automatically creates a small empty partition before it, and thus is said to align everything properly. I haven’t double-checked this.

was mythryl.org
https://github.com/mythryl/mythryl

A programming language which resurrects and improves upon SML/NJ to create the first production-ready mathematically-provable language.

Had incredible potential; I was highly interested in this and its abandonment was the final nail in the coffin for my desire to program.

Abandoned – The author Cynbe ru Taren (Jeffrey Prothero) died, the community evaporated, and a resulting foundation was later abandoned by his widow.

A superhero game.

It wasn’t very original and had awkward controls.

2024-01-04 – A private server reportedly got an NCSoft license to keep going.

was pdaxrom.org

X11 GUI. GTK+/2 and QT3 support out of the box.

A complete collection of files. It looks very easy to recompile applications for.

Also has another guy who is modding it with some interesting results. His mods create a combination X and Qt environment, to run both kinds of applications.

Abandoned
- The authors (sashz , Meanie ) haven’t been active on the OESF forum ( likely now https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?board=73.0), and there was some e-begging .
- 2010-05-27, it looks completely abandoned. No updates in forever and everything pdaXrom has been removed and replaced by some embedded project.

This program adjusts an audio mixer from X11, the console, a terminal, the command line or a script. It uses the Open Sound System API.

This did the job when I needed the job done.

Abandoned – the website is gone
Available as text, ncurses and GTK+
