Sources in side panel is shipped on every page now, thanks again for the feedback! it adds clear visibility

Shipped, thanks to you: the copy-on-write room now opens its sources in a side panel. Your comment went from here to production in about four hours. Others rooms to come. The rendering is far better!

I would say (in no particular order) that the CDDL license is not innocent, ext4 is good enough for many usages, cost ? ZFS is RAM hungry ... but ZFS is well present where it means most (NASes , Proxmox , backups to tell some)

I forgot that Apple story, a great "what ifs". It's not in the history wing yet, thanks for the link, it might deserve its own panel!

Fair hit. "Directed" is closer: agents wrote the code and most of the text, I chose the subject, steered and reviewed.

Good idea, thanks! A side panel is the way to go.

Thanks, that's exactly the reader I'd like to reach, and you're not the first to say it goes over your head. Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out who it doesn't go over the head of. Matt Ahrens, maybe? ^^ Next is a "start here" route: one plain question per room, answered before any code. Copy-on-write and snapshots are probably the best rooms to start with today.
