Really? Because:
> During Donald Trump's 2025 speech to a joint session of Congress, the president asked House Speaker Mike Johnson to “get rid” of the subject act.[190]

Which you can do on a per dataset ('directory') basis very easily:
zfs set sync=disabled mydata/mydb001

zfs set sync=disabled mydata/mydb001
* https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/man/master/7/zfsprops...Large organizations have moved to IPv6 because they, and everyone else, are using 10/8, and so when mergers and acquisitions happen trying to connect the networks together becomes a nightmare.
See this talk from Wells Fargo as an example:
Highly recommend that book. Haven't gotten to his most recent Who Is Government?:

But from the interviews it sounds interesting as well. Colbert interview from April 2025:
> "The Pentagon ... announced that we are eliminating woke climate change programs and initiatives inconsistent with our core warfighting mission," [Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell] said.

But from 2021 (during Biden), "Climate change is a risk to national security, the Pentagon says"

John Oliver did an episode on this during Trump 1.0:

See:
> Epistemology is the branch of philosophy that examines the nature, origin, and limits of knowledge. Also called "the theory of knowledge", it explores different types of knowledge, such as propositional knowledge about facts, practical knowledge in the form of skills, and knowledge by acquaintance as a familiarity through experience. Epistemologists study the concepts of belief, truth, and justification to understand the nature of knowledge. To discover how knowledge arises, they investigate sources of justification, such as perception, introspection, memory, reason, and testimony.
> The school of skepticism questions the human ability to attain knowledge, while fallibilism says that knowledge is never certain. Empiricists hold that all knowledge comes from sense experience, whereas rationalists believe that some knowledge does not depend on it. Coherentists argue that a belief is justified if it coheres with other beliefs. Foundationalists, by contrast, maintain that the justification of basic beliefs does not depend on other beliefs. Internalism and externalism debate whether justification is determined solely by mental states or also by external circumstances.

A philosophy joke:
> When I talk to Philosophers on zoom my screen background is an exact replica of my actual background just so I can trick them into having a justified true belief that is not actually knowledge.

Depends on the problem you're trying to solve.
Perhaps it's "how can I get more for myself?" versus "how I improve the lives of humanity?".
Someone observed a lot of stuff that Trump is doing is through Executive Orders because he really can't do deals. Of course when (some of) his desires overlap with (some of) others', we get:

Can't wait for this to start having 'e-sports' tournaments. :)
If your job is to make sure your file system and your database—SQLite, Pg, My/MariDB, etc—are tuned together, and you don't tune it, then you should be called into a meeting. Or at least the no-fault RCA should bring up remediation methods to make sure it's part of the SOP so that it won't happen again.
The alternative the GP suggests is using Btrfs, which I find even more irresponsible than your non-tuning situation. (Heck, if someone on my sysadmin team suggested we start using Btrfs for anything I would think they were going senile.)
