I maintained a CEPH cluster a few years back. I can verify that speeds under 10GbE will cause a lot of weird issues. Ideally, you'll even want a dedicated 10GbE purely for CEPH to do its automatic maintenance stuff and not impact storage clients.

The PGs is a separate issue. Each PG is like a disk partition. There's some funky math and guidelines to calculate the ideal number for each pool, based upon disks, OSDs, capacity, replicas, etc. Basically, more PGs means that there are more (but smaller) places for CEPH to store data. This means that balancing over a larger number of nodes and drives is easier. It also means that there's more metadata to track. So, really, it's a bit of a balancing act.

could be used for social welfare systems

For needy billionaires, maybe.

Ah yes. Like LGBTQ+ people?

It's also available on nearly every unix-like machine since the 70s. So, super useful to know how to use. I personally also like (neo)vim as an IDE and its optional regex functionality because that allows once to efficiently edit massive files with minimal effort.

As a long-time vim enjoyer, I like your gusto. Imagine if you could apply regexes to that carpenter's axe.

(Also, what sort? Do you have one of those awesome Gransfors Bruks ones?)

Progressive relaxation. Seriously.

....I'm left with a strong inconclusive as to whether it's possible :(

Possible, yes. Possible with current technology and understanding, no.

The methylation of DNA and other ways that its functionality is modified is something that is studied in epigenetics. Such modifications can also be carriers of heritable traits (ex. a study on Icelandic families found that experiencing famine could change the likelihood of diabetes two generations later). Modifying methylation has also been investigated for treatment of genetic diseases.

Conceivably, epigenome editing could be used to modify the sperm/egg methylation to make them compatible. But, that's probably a ways a way from being practical.

Trackball/trackpoint built into the Svalboard.

You know, if I can use vim bindings and regex, I might try it out. I tend to try to keep my neovim plugins fairly lightweight when I config myself. Not being electron is a big plus.

Ctrl is already used my a large number of commands in POSIX shells. This is one of the places that I really like Apple's solution (despite really not liking most of what they do). Super/GUI/Command + c/v is a great improvement in the terminal.

Fair enough. Those are things that I like to be able to use, however. Which makes nano/pico/micro a non-starter for me. Different strokes for different folks.

I like your thinking. Give me Firefox with a TUI and POSIX shell i/o redirection support.
