Thanks, I do have backups of important stuff.

I think bcachefs is what I'm looking for, but I'm gonna wait a bit until development calms down a little and keep on the way I am at the moment.

Thanks,

bcachefs could be the answer but I don't really want my data on a fs I need this week's kernel to access properly. Maybe I should just hold off for a few months.

I'm not monitoring the drives, I have backups of important stuff...but would be nice to tag more important stuff amongst the mediocre stuff on the off chance both drives don't fail at the same time.

doh

will just keep on keepin' on then

 

I have a pi4 running on an ssd over usb3 with a usb3 dock that has 2x2TB drives for storage.

At the moment I have mainly music on one and mainly video on the other, with important stuff on both and elsewhere.

Is it sensible to combine 2x2TB hdd's via usb3 dock into a 4TB filesystem/pool/volume/thing......and if so can I have tiered storage so if one drive fails the other will have a mirror of important stuff?

 

I did not know about this.

I like H R Giger, I like Debbie Harry.

How did it take 'till 2024 for me to stumble upon this?

Nice pic, been a few years since I've seen any but always a joy to find ☺️

I think that's just one of the official binary penguins that were released last month.

 

Just say no

I think that's part of why he is being so careful with language, it's in line with him coming out to say homosexuality is not a crime earlier this year.

Hopefully this is just paving the way for further change but when the Church holds a lot of power in countries where lgbtq+ people are outlawed and heavily oppressed I can see why he's slowly introducing ideas like it's not against the law and being permissible to baptise.

I'm no fan of the RCC but if the pope quickly does a full 180 on these issues the church will likely fracture and the countries where things are pretty extreme will break away and, double down on the persecution and allow it to become an identity marker.

I've been using the 'Open With' extension on Firefox to play video through mpv with a click

no pooping, i promise

I don't think popping them was an issue, it was a few hours before the rain hit, they were ready to pop and my son was eager to help them.

I think the idea is that raindrops hit the mushroom which expels the spores, suspect my son's finger does the job better than the fungi was expecting....but perhaps it would be better to leave them alone.

Have a few video clips of pooping, but not sure how to post/share them

I'm not aware of any utility, but am a novice.

I have seen hundreds of puffball mushrooms recently, my son is big fan of popping them, but these are a little different. It looks like an average puffball on a futon that turns into a star.

Seen many puffballs in this area, but never like this. Today they were everywhere.

[–] SnailMagnitude@mander.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks.

Yeah. It was on the west bank of Loch Lomond, on the forest path with loads of birch all around.

Nice shot.

No idea about this stuff, hopefully someone knows. Will take a guess on some sort of slime mould.

 

Been wanting to get my hands on one of these for a long time.

Found three big ones, which was nice 🙂

 

Transcoding anything >720p is painful.

I run ancient hardware for desktop/laptop >10yrs old apple stuff running linux. I consume media mainly via rpi4 or android.

What's a minimum level system capable of trans-coding 4k video to x265 in at the very least real time? Is there a tiny trans-coding device out there somewhere?

Would a NUC do? How old or new to churn out 4k x265

Can I avoid hardware? Are cloud gpu's a thing?

 

Dog for scale

 

Will be doing a fresh install on an old laptop in the near future and was considering trying wayland.

Can you recommend a decent & light window manager & terminal emulator?

I've played around with wayland but always ended up back on xorg, was gonna give it another shot.

I've not come across this packaging before and can't see any trademark.

Just wondering if anyone has seen this, nugs ain't too dense either.
