Ok, so i had been thinking about it since a long time... whether to migrate to Kuvera from Coin  for my direct mutual funds investments. The reasons: (1) Coin/Zerodha charges ₹300 Annual fee + ₹50 per month, whereas Kuvera is completely free (2) Kuvera makes investment recommendations suitable to investor's risk appetite and investment objectives.

I was really confused until a colleague explained it to me! So here it is, in extremely simple terms: Block Storage: Application/user reads/writes blocks, constructs file itself. E.g. normal hard drive or SAN storage. File Storage: Application/user reads/writes a particular file path in its entirety (typically using SMB/NFS/FTP/HTTP protocols) without worrying about the filesystem where it is stored. E.g. A block storage mounted as NFS on a remote server is a file storage for that remote server. Object Storage: Application/user reads/writes a particular file without worrying about where it is stored in the directory hierarchy. The access is always made to the basename of the file in question. The object storage has to locate the file and provide access. Typically this is done by storing the SHA of file as well. The file is always located using this SHA value. This also implies that any change in the file contents results in a new SHA value and hence the object storage treats as stor...

I have been facing this error so often now. Whenever I am logged into a remote machine in a screen session, the vim doesn't work. $ vim /etc/bash.rc error vim terminal: capability "cm" required After some research, I could fix it as follows. When this or any other error comes up while using vim in a screen session, first immediately check what is TERM set to. In my case, it was xterm-screen $ echo $TERM screen.xterm-256color Change it as follows and you should be good to use vim without any issue. $ export TERM=xterm $ echo $TERM xterm Now, vim works like charm. 👐

Many NGOs came forward to restore life and provide essentials to Kerala flood victims.
