Truuuue. :)

But my point is my searches usually end up in:

wikipedia, blogpost, *overflow, twitter, reddit, papers ...

So making a search engine for only those sites, could be a usable search engine indeed and I would use it if I had to. :)

I don't see any problem here.

I've been using startpage for the last 5 years and I'm not looking back. I woudn't have any problem using any other search engine, nowdays any search engine works. The 3 or 4 times that I googled these years I found it pretty weird.

tl;dr: There's plenty of room, just not enough gray matter. :)

Got it but not for my use case then cause I don't want to halve my storage capacity.

Anyway I will try to use it for my main PC which has several disks and continue to use my solution for single disk machines (laptop, vps, SoC...). :)

Ok, so zfs for single drive users doesn't fix single data corruption.

Definitely I'm going to use my solution so. All the next generation FS stuff is cool (btrfs also indeed) but for the simplest use case people just need safe data and fix it it the disk goes bad.

Is zfs able to repair from single data (copy) corruption?

My main issue is to be able to repair a "silent" data corruption on a single drive machine. Am I able to use x% of my "partition" to data repair or do I need to use other partition/drive to mirror/raid it?

If I understand right zfs can detect bitrot ("not really" a big deal) but without any local copy It can't self heal.

My use case is an arm A20 SoC (lime2) to storage local backups among other things, so I need something that detects and repairs silent data corruption at rest by itself (using a single drive).

A poor man NAS/server. ;)

Interesting.

That's rigth the kind of hardware I was referring to, 1 GB of plain RAM. Truly, I haven't tested ZFS yet for that reason I've always read that ZFS has big requirements so I refrained to try it. It seems I should give it a try. ;)

Btrfs is another story I've used it for years and I'd prefer not to have to use it anymore untill it'll become "stable" and "performance". :)

Seriously, I'm been using it for more than 5 years and I've only enabled it for local sites and everything is working.

It depends on what sites you browse. I don't do any social, use google or any other crap, so it's enabled to 0 internet sites with no problem.

If I need to activate it I have a shortkey (vimperator) that opens a new firefox profile (private and prepared to load crap) for the current site so I don't load any terrible UX in my default profile.

NoScript, ublock and SDC are a must for the current state of Internet. It's like drop the garbage out the window than in the garbage bin, you need to put care into it. :)
