Wtf is it with filesystem developers and going off the deep end?? Remember the ReiserFS guy who murdered his wife?

Yup.

Its coming to light in modern times, that they realized they could grab land and money by accusing vulnerable people, and then just taking their land when they couldn’t defend themselves against a confession under torture.

There’s this weird phenomenon that people tend to think those in the past were less intelligent than now, when really it was history being spun a certain way. For example: the witch burning thing, most people accusing witches, etc didn’t actually believe that shit. Its coming to light in modern times, that they realized they could grab land and money by accusing vulnerable people, and then just taking their land when they couldn’t defend themselves against a confession under torture.

Keep in mind all the advancements and progress humans have made in mathemathics and sciences over the last few thousand years. Those people weren’t stupid, if they were doing stupid things, its probably because they were evil (like burning witches for their own financial gain)

Ahhh, I see

Well old Patel showed up to I’m assuming ‘encourage’ them to go, so they’re probably all afraid for their families at this point.

– edit —

Oorrr they’re pieces of shit, apparently.

If you go this route and its a semi permanent solution, would probably be better to get a ip camera or something instead of a smart phone, that way you don’t have to worry about the phone battery going bad from being plugged in 24/7.

I think this stuff sort of depends on how often you upgrade drives. I bought 2 4TB drives in 2015 running in a ZFS mirror, spinning 24/7 as I had heard that the hardest time on a spinning disk is the initial spin up from cold boot, or sleep. (I’m not sure is this if true anymore, but I had disabled sleep on the drives, regardless)

5 years later, I bought 2 10TB drives to upgrade my storage capacity, and relocated the 4TB mirror to media content, and stuff that was replaceable if the drives failed, so I didn’t need to really back it up.

Juuust now, at the end of 2025, 1 of the initial 4 TB drives failed and now my ‘old’ ZFS mirror is in a degraded state running on 1 drive, but the drive that failed lasted 10 years.

I bet the average home lab or self hoster is probably upgrading and replacing their drives with higher capacity more often than 10 years, so they probably would never actually see a drive fail in real life use.

bUT ReAGaN sAiD it wAS gOoD FoR mEee!!!

My theory is, I saw one of the USA team members say representing the USA right now has brought up conflicting feelings for him, which riled the orange idiot up, so I figure they sent old Patel over there to send a signal and intimidate the olympian, and also warn him not to have any more public outbursts, “or else”.

Of course I haven’t paid any attention to the olympics other than that one headline, so maybe he just went to revel in his own corruption. Who knows.

I appreciate the link, I’ll look into it, thanks!

Explain how you think that would help.

Samir, you’re breaking the car!

Right, but the debrid services handle torrenting, you send the torrent file and it downloads it for you, and shows up in your movies/shows folder when you mount them with rclone. So all I would need this to do is send the requested torrent to the debrid URL instead of to the whatever does the actual downloading in the *arrs stack

I messed around with compiz in the early 2000’s to get the rotating cube desktop, windows that burned themselves up with fire when you closed them, etc, etc… And I remember how much work it was to maintain all that stuff and keep it working after updates.

Eventually I stopped caring about things that were kinda neat but didn’t really add much actual functionality, and as I’ve gotten older, I’ve also just stopped caring about tweaking things visually to make it pretty and showcase a desktop or windows, that aren’t really visible unless you have 0 windows open.

As I’ve gotten older my DE and window manager, etc are just a tool to let me use my computer, whether for fun or work, but at the end of the day, I care much more about using my computer than I do endlessly tweaking things.

All that to say: I’m happy that people have the choice to have different DE’s and window managers, and endlessly tweak things, they come up with some cool desktops and interesting UX designs, but for me it’s just a tool at the end of the day.

Anyone know if you can integrate this with a debrid service?

I’m rich!

Too bad they’re all ddr1 and ddr2

I really wish we had gone with the idea Tesla originally pitched 10 years ago, where you would drive up on a platform, a robotic arm would remove the empty battery, it would slide in a fully charged battery, and you’d be on your way. I really feel like the future of EV would be when you buy the car, it comes with entitled access to to fully charged ones whenever you need.

Also Trump and Musk absolutely destroyed what little of an EV charging infrastructure we had. I would absolutely love to have gotten an EV for my last car, but with Trump literally forcing the pentagon to buy coal power, there’s no way in hell I’d trust being able to charge it away from my house on a trip, and they’re still too expensive to have an ‘extra car’ for when i drive around town, and another vehicle for road trips.

Well, to be fair, the only people who seem to not think the world is in peril, are still on X… So they’re the audience who need to hear shit like this.
