Yes, but what if it were a subscription? May I present: /dev/null-as-a-Service.

Would have to be cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid > /dev/null

You can't pipe to a file, only to programs, and since /dev/null isn't an executable your command will simply give an error.

To make it more clear, consider using dd, which lets you explicitly specify an input and output file. For example: dd if=/proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid of=/dev/sda1 wait shit that wasn't the right output oh god oh fu

If the bowl doesn't have steep edges, my cat will end up pushing most of the food out of the bowl and scatter it across half the room in a frantic effort to get it into her mouth as quickly as possible.

ext4 is intended for a completely different use case, though? bcachefs is competing with btrfs and ZFS in big storage arrays spanning multiple drives, probably with SSD cache. ext4 is a nice filesystem for client devices, but doesn't support some things which are kinda fundamental at larger scales like data checksumming, snapshots, or transparent compression.

bcachefs is way more flexible than btrfs on multi-device filesystems. You can group storage devices together based on performance/capacity/whatever else, and then do funky things like assigning a group of SSDs as a write-through/write-back cache for a bigger array of HDDs. You can also configure a ton of properties for individual files or directories, including the cache+main storage group, amount of data replicas, compression type, and quite a bit more.

So you could have two files in the same folder, one of them stored compressed on an array of HDDs in RAID10 and the other one stored on a different array of HDDs uncompressed in RAID5 with a write-back SSD cache, and wouldn't have to fiddle around with multiple filesystems and bind mounts - everything can be configured by simply setting xattr values. You could even have a third file which is striped across both groups of HDDs without having to partition them up.

While I agree that this is stupid, why would a deaf person be using Spotify in the first place?

Shame, now it won't be possible to access Gmail from the Nintendo DS Browser.
