Bit worrying not to see a single mention of ECC memory when discussing protection from bitrot, especially with filesystems which depend on correctly functioning memory to provide the protections people expect from them.
People sneer at me for being a stickler for it, but between 50GB of memory and 26TB of ZFS-protected storage, I see ECC corrections about as often as I see disk checksum errors - maybe half a dozen of each in the past year or two. Frankly I think it's idiotic it's not more common and better supported.
