Copy on write is likely to introduce significant performance decreases in cases where large or medium size files have a couple bytes changed. It’s usually recommended to turn CoW off on those files; I found it to be more hassle than it’s worth for a root filesystem. It is still a reasonable file system for file storage that looks more like archival - files land there and seldomly or never change. If you don’t have a specific need in mind though, I wouldn’t bother - in my opinion, it’s not great as a general purpose filesystem.
“Happy Pride! In lieu of doing something actually useful for the case, here is a patch to make screen show the Pride flag emoji correctly.
I hadn't counted on screen literally being from 1987, though. In K&R C! This patch is for all the LBGT+ users needing Unicode 15.0 support in the screens running on their SVR4 PDP-11s.”
