Why did you take a second bite?

Sounds very proprietary, probably won’t find what it needs even under wine.

However, btrfs checksums every block. If you have a data profile with several copies it will repair it for you.

Have you tried Ubuntu?

It was originally for the Amiga. I was surprised to see it live and kicking for Windows.

Midnight commander might be your replacement, depending on how modern opus you’re used to.

I don’t live in Russia myself, but close enough that the Kremlin is the reason for my investment in mesh networks these last couple of years.

There used to be sites where people did just that. They’ve shut down their comment sections because of bots. Also, you can find them by searching for that particular topic because spammy sites with better SEO drown it out.

I hate what the internet has become.

I studied computer engineering in Finland, so Linux is probably way overrepresented in my circles.

Personally I just don’t see any other viable desktop operating system. But gaming is pretty far down on the list of things I use my computers for. If a new game doesn’t run, I’m fine waiting for the switch port a decade later.

I have great internets at home, but I did a lot of sailing abroad with limited roaming. I had my home server set up to download new videos from my favourite YouTube channels and put them in a shared syncthing directory.

I’d just go hit that local pub or library with free WiFi and let syncthing on my smartphone do its thing.

Orange man already says that he thinks Iran did it.

So, I think we can probably take that as a confession from his part.

I mount mine over sshfs. They support a lot of protocols.

Debian or ubuntu on my server/docker image. Maybe alpine for docker.

EndeavourOS on my desktop/laptop.

In sixth grade we got to go use the computer in the teacher’s lounge to print out a topic from encarta. At secondary school we had to sign a set of rules for using the computer lab. At uni we had a proper user agreement with the IT department. Mostly because we had multiuser systems, e-mail and webhosting at our disposal.

My kid is still a few years from starting school. I’m hesitant to sign any Google EULA on her behalf.

What about those Epstein files, though?

It sure is!

In my case it’s vulnerable while I re-balance.

btrfs can work with mixed-size disks and change RAID-levels on-line, too.

I’m on RAID1 on btrfs, so I just rebalance and remove the disks as they break.

Damn. 2/8 drives in my array have died. I was going to replace them, but at this price point I might just delete some porn instead.

Or buy cloud storage.

Which one?

My jr developer will eventually be familiar with the entire codebase and can make decisions with that in mind without me reminding them about details at every turn.

LLMs would need massive context windows and/or custom training to compete with that. I’m sure we’ll get there eventually, but for now it seems far off. I think this bubble will have to burst and let hardware catch up with our ambitions. It’ll take a couple of decades.
