University of Toronto ☛ Sorting out 'PCIe bifurcation' and how it interacts with NVMe drives
Suppose, not hypothetically, that you're switching from one mirrored set of M.2 NVMe drives to another mirrored set of M.2 NVMe drives, and so would like to have three or four NVMe drives in your desktop at the same time. Sadly, you already have one of your two NVMe drives on a PCIe card, so you'd like to get a single PCIe card that handles two or more NVMe drives.

LWN ☛ Book review: Run Your Own Mail Server

Setting up and securing a mail server in 2024 is not for the faint of heart, nor for anyone without copious spare time. Spammers want to flood inboxes with ads for questionable supplements, attackers want to abuse servers to send spam (or worse), and getting the big providers to accept mail from small servers is a constant uphill battle.
