As always, I got the username wrong...

  • Iron Maiden, I somehow thought it was just the soundtrack for the movie Iron Man.

    Turns out it's one of my favourite bands.

    Daft Punk, I thought I hated it because "One more time" played so many times on the radio and literally everywhere back in the days, that I developed hate for it, but turns out their songs are actually good, specially Random Access Memories.

    There's also the opposite, songs I used to like but because playlists repetition I started to hate, like Cranberries' Zombie, What's Up, Lennon's Imagine, AC/DC's Thunderstorm, Radiohead's Creep and some of Rammstein's music.

  • I will never be able to open that one pickle jar without the Xelayan kid laughing at me.

  • Well, first while raid is great, it's not a replacement for backups. Raid is mostly useful if uptime is imperative, but does not protect against user errors, software errors, fs corruption, ransomware or a power surge killing the entire array.

    Since uptime isn't an issue on my home nas, instead of parity I simply have cold backups which (supposedly) I plug in from time to time to scrub the filesystems.

    If a online drive dies I can simply restore it from backup and accept the downtime. For my anime I have simply one single backup, but or my most important files I have 2 backups just in case one fails. (Unfornately both onsite)

    On the other hand, for a client of mine's server where uptime is imperative, in addiction to raid I have 2 automatic daily backups (which ideally one should be offsite but isn't, at least they are in different floors of the same building).

  • Damn, I was a big bcachefs proponent, so much that I was going to use bcachefs on my torrents drive even tho it's beta, but the dev seems to be completely insane, guess there isn't much future of bcachefs. Gonna stick with btrfs and use lvm if I need ssd cache.

  • Maybe they aren't even maga at all, are just being paid.

  • I absolutely agree, specially as someone who rarely watches stuff as they get released.

  • Pgp is protocol agnostic, you can use it over email, xmpp, irc... Over pretty much anything that supports plugins.

    It's usually used for email tho.

  • "Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners."

    Might not agree with Lenin on everything but this one is right on spot.

    Oh, my second favorite quote is also from him I had no idea

    "One cannot live in society and be free from society."

  • The "farmer" doesn't actually do any farming, they just own the means of production and exploit the farmers.

    The undocumented immigrants aka the "criminals" are the real farmers.

  • Depends on the content.

    Is it a shitty generic isekai anime where the same plot gets recycled again and again? I watch on my phone on some shitty streaming site.

    Is it an above average show that I know it's going to be good? I will download the highest quality I can find and wait as long as I need to watch it on my best screen.

    Ofc half the times I start bring watching on streaming and then turns out the show is actually good and I jump to mkv midway.

    What I cannot do independently of content is watching with any tiny bit of noise whatsoever in the apartment.

    Someone talking on another room, or using the kitchen or a TV or a radio, or just walking, will completely kill my immersion, I need absolute silence to watch things.

  • Beautiful!

  • Facts

    Jump
  • Gnome haven't "improved" anything since gnome 2. Gnome 3 and above? Only downhill from there.

  • Apart from open WRT, there's also opensense or opn Sense which let's you turn any old computer into a router as long as it has 2 network cards.

    You may also need a switch and a WiFi AP tho, so at that point you better get an openWRT router. Just leaving this info here in case it's useful.

  • Oh yes, because we all know more people suffer from iron deficiency than uric acid excess, obesity increased risk of cancer and other well known illments that come from excessive meat consumption.

    It literally says in the article that people eat too much meat which is unhealthy.

  • Paywalled

  • Did a quick search it seems that it's called Shatner light. Very cool.

  • Nice!!! But I feel those entry distros could do a lot more to be more user friendly, there are many edge cases where you still need to use a terminal and have some understanding of the OS. We need a truly GUI only distro with more wizards, and automatic repair so more people flee to Gnu/Linux

  • Unfortunately there’s no good term for that, I guess.

    Market manipulation?
