The article diagrams can’t be seen well if the device has the dark mode as default, just a suggestion for the author. Opened with Safari in iOS

Author here. Thanks for posting this! It’s been quite a ride building ZeroFS, and I’m happy to answer any questions.

I really want this, but it feels a little scary to trust all my files. I wouls like it if there was some contineous suite trying to corrupt the files and then see the failure cases!

Also would love to know how was we could iterate over the files. ie a bit how duckdb allows for paruet fikes scanning and reading would be nice to see how fast we can query the fs for ai/ml training workloads

s3 is expensive... there are a lot of cheap options. I think I pay $48/month for a linux vps with 8 cpus and 16tb of storage with interserver.net... the same storage on amazon s3 is $377/month lol
