That was my point

If it’s for more than a minute I’ll screw in VGA and DVI cables

20 years ago there were 2000000000 fewer people in the world.

To send to the same account?

I haven’t paid anything for it

As long as there are no problems with the btrfs code? Hahahahaha!! There are.

It was forked but somehow lacked a huge amount of functionality that Emby had (and still has) Like I think it only supported films, not music or TV shows. The app infrastructure was awful across fire stick, Roku and android and wasn’t backward compatible with the Emby apps. I just didn’t see the point of forking it if you’re just going to make it worse or only address the server side and neglect the clients. The whole thing has to work together with good clients and server.

I can’t use VPN on my work PC so I have some services open on sub domains that aren’t in my DNS. Follow some basic rules and it’s fine. My phone is always connected to my Wireguard running on Opnsense. It’s simple, fully self hosted and works great.

Last time I tried it it was a much worse experience than Emby across all devices and for all media types. I don’t understand all the love it gets.

I do play and I absolutely guarantee any guitar I would try assemble would play so so badly. Setting up a guitar is an exercise in precision engineering with wood.

Using Eternity and very happy with it, just as I was when it was Infinity for Reddit.

Everyone saying it’ll be fine is speaking theoretically. Practically I can attest to full and total file system corruption under this scenario.

BTRFS deciding it’s corrupt and refusing even read only access.

Edit: You beat it by trashing the disk, using any other file system, restoring from backup and accepting any losses.

Careful. You might get hit by a bus.

It stole all my data. It’s a bit of a clusterfuck of a file system, especially one so old. This article gives a good overview: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/09/examining-btrfs-linuxs-perpetually-half-finished-filesystem/ It managed to get into a state where it wouldn’t even let me mount it readonly. I even resorted to running commands of which the documentation just said “only run this if you know what you’re doing”, but actually gave no guidance to understand - it was basically a command for the developer to use and noone else. It ddn’t work anyway. Every other system that was using the same disks but with ext4 on their filesystems came back and I was able to fsck them and continue on. I think they’re all still running without issue 6 years later.

For such an old file system, it has a lot of braindead design choices and a huge amount of unreliability.

I gave up trying to setup a Mastodon server in docker. Lemmy was pretty tricky at the time as the docs were wrong. My email server was a bit tricky, but I’ve not really done much to tinker with it in the proceeding 6 years, so was worth it.

Why fake serial numbers?

I used btrfs once. Never again!

Are you saying SSDs are faster than HDDs?
