CSS Tricks ☛ CSS Chronicles XLII | CSS-Tricks
Remember these? Chris would write a post now and then to chronicle things happening around the ol’ CSS-Tricks site. It’s only been 969 days since the last one, give or take. Just think: back then we were poking at writing CSS in JavaScript and juuuuuuust starting to get excited about a set of proposed new color features that are mostly implemented today. We’re nesting CSS rules now. Container queries became an actual thing.
CSS was going gosh-darned hog wild. Probably not the “best” time for a site about CSS to take a break, eh?
That’s why I thought I’d dust off the chronicles. It’s been a hot minute and a lot is happening around CSS-Tricks today.

University of Toronto ☛ ZFS properties sometimes change their default values over time
For an assortment of reasons, we don't want ZFS to do compression on most of the filesystems on our fileservers. Some of these reasons are practical technical ones and some of them have to do with our particular local non-technical ('political') decisions around disk space allocation. Traditionally we've done this by the simple mechanism of not specifically enabling compression, because the default was off. Recently I discovered, more or less by coincidence, that OpenZFS had changed the default for ZFS compression from off to on between the version in Ubuntu 22.04 ('v2.1.5' plus Ubuntu changes) and the version in Ubuntu 24.04 ('v2.2.2' plus Ubuntu changes).

Bèr Kessels ☛ Ignore Rust's target build directories in Deja-Dup
I use Deja-Dup, to backup my Ubuntu machines. And just like shimo describes in this blog post, I too want to avoid backing up gigabytes of node_module directories1.
But I also want to avoid backup up gigabytes of target directories from building Rust projects with Cargo. I have accumulated some 50+ Rust codebases scattered throughout my project directories. Their combined target directories take up about 9GB at time of writing. And all of that is reproducible, cache-like data. It doesn’t need to be backed up.
