Depends on your setup. I’m a btrfs guy, so I’d go with something similar as your other reply. It’s just as easy to remove/replace/add drives. They don’t even have to match in size. Just remember to balance after doing modifications to your array.

Whatever you get, get at least two and do RAID1/5/6. They will break.

Speed shouldn’t be an issue for streaming media.

Best of both world is to work remote for those northern companies while having lower cost of living down south where the darkness of midwinter doesn’t hit as hard.

Inspired by xkcd’s thing explainer I generated a list of how often words appeared in subtitles on opensubtitles for my target language.

I whipped those into a database, added manual translation for the top-1000 and started quizzing myself with a tiny php script.

It was more fun to code than to actually quiz myself. I think I played the top-100 before I got bored.

It was a shiny EGA card.

On an 8-bit ISA bus, with a whopping 64kB of VRAM. It could display an amazing 16 colours on one screen.

My friend who had a CGA card was so jelly with his four eye-soaring neon colours.

If we’re talking accelerated graphics, I bought a voodoo 2 with 8mb of RAM which linked up to my ATI Mach 64 2d-card.

I plugged one in today. I left the screws loose. Ironically I moved it between two computers that couldn’t originally do VGA.

I re-organised my leisure desk. My C64 sometimes hooks up to a TFT thanks to my turbo chameleon 64 cartridge.

Today I hooked my C64 up to my CRT instead. I needed that TFT for my Amiga 1200 which has DVI-I out thanks to my indivision flickerfixer. But I have a DVI->VGA adapter to use that same cable.

I’ve never stood in like for early voting in the EU. I’ve done it at my supermarket while getting groceries.

Grab a ballot and envelope, enter booth, do the thing, walk to desk, flash id, get crossed off list, watch volunteer put your envelope in another envelope and drop it in the ballot box.

In-and-out, three minutes.

Come to think of it, voting on election day has always been just as smooth. I just have to go to the library or some school, so it’s not as convenient.

The contributor above works at Baikal Electronics, which are a defense supplier in/for Russia, and therefore sanctioned.

The Linux Foundation is based in the US and have to bide by those sanctions.

All my troubles seemed so far away?

I was staring at that username for quite a bit after reading the comment saying that it was in their username. I did not get it, either.

Even knowing that there’s a trans flag, and that that’s what is in the username, I wouldn’t know what pronouns to use.

Plenty of options for dual SIM phones here, too.

Which makes it even more convenient to just pop in a local SIM while traveling.

I have two accounts with the same bank in two different EU-countries.

I need to call them to get interrogated for 20 minutes to get international transfers enabled for 24 hours, and for my other account as recipient only.

Revolut sounds like a dream for anyone who cares about their sovereignty. I hate being baby-sat by my bank.

Not so much sailing, but being miserable living on a boat while refitting it on a shoe string budget and no skills. I think this is a suitable entry point to their channel - Wildlings sailing.

What does this next-word suggestion on my keyboard do, you ask? A bit more than welcome back from a lot more of a day and a lot more of a day and I don’t have to be in your room. The same as the only thing you have a year in your life is the same thing I can imagine if I don’t have to be in a bit more than I don’t know how I was in your room. Please can you don’t have to be in the office for a while but I don’t think so but I will be in the office tomorrow. My phone is on the same page as a bit more of a day of the same as you don’t have to be in the house and the kids are not allowed to be in the office.

How are not too much for the only one in your room now so you don’t have a bit more of it when I get to work.

I need to feel productive. Be it a programming project or woodworking. Just creating something new instead of maintenance like oil changes and mowing the lawn. Creating something new.

Also, take a walk in the forest. Get out on the water. Both are great therapy to disconnect from the mental todo-list of things going on around the house.

My library has a banned book clubs for teenagers.

Books don’t get banned in my country, but they read and discuss books that are banned in other countries.

Also, you can check out a kill-a-watt to monitor your electricity consumption.

instead of healthcare

Where in the world are you? In my part my tax money goes far enough to pay for both. And free university studies so that no one has to take loans.

Looks like we’re getting closer.

He also planned to have BcacheFS merged to mainline in 2018. Finally got it merged in 2023 (released in 2024).

Development will likely slow down a bit when things require more review, discussion and scrutiny now that it’s mainlined.

Let me quote the Wikipedia page.

Bcachefs describes itself as “working and stable, with a small community of users”. When discussing Linux 6.9-rc3 on April 7, 2024, Linus Torvalds touched on the stability of bcachefs, saying “if you thought bcachefs was stable already, I have a bridge to sell you”, and in August of 2024 that “nobody sane uses bcachefs and expects it to be stable”.

It’s been being for a long time. It finally got merged to mainline in Linux 6.7. Sounds like they started a lot of renovations after that. It’s still a bit too much in motion for me to consider it.

Performance and features look promising. I’ll revisit in 2030 if things have calmed down and they still have maintainers.

I’ve been running btrfs for 14 years. It has similar features and a proven track record. It doesn’t move as fast. That’s a good thing for a filesystem.
