As a seasoned sysadmin, I approve.

Back when I was still using Gentoo, configuring your own kernel was a rite of passage. It was kind of fun to try and configure it as minimalist as possible to cut down on the kernel compile time. Also, understanding all the different options and possibilities. And thanks to use flags, you had access to all these different patch sets for the kernel, which took a lot of the pain out of trying things like experimental schedulers or filesystems.

Dude, get some sleep before you kill someone.

Not a place in particular, but if you're driving, avoid any border crossings during peak holiday seasons. Specifically when you're crossing from the EU into non-EU countries or crossing from Schengen into non-Schengen area. During peak times you might be waiting at the border for hours.

When you no longer can find a use for it.

Haven't gone back to Reddit since. But what I do miss most is the sorting algorithm. I don't know if it was just the abundance of posts, or better sorting. But on lemmy I keep seeing the same posts over and over again, regardless of my sorting setting. But I'll be patient and hope that it gets better.

Banned books? What year is this? FFS.

Smart things my "stupid" dog does:

1. I have a box with gamepads, remotes and headphones next to the coch. My dog knows thats off-limits to him. If he wants attention and I ignore him long enough, he will then start to paw at the box. Sort of to say "Look at me...look what I'm doing...I'm touching the box...can't ignore me now..."

2. Anytime he does something super cute, the microsecond when I point my phone camera at him, he will turn away. Not if I suddenly reach for my phone, not if I'm just scrolling, but literally as soon as I want to tap the shutter button. It's become quite a challenge to try and sneakily take pictures of him.

3. Both my wife and me work from home 9-5. He will pretty much sleep during that time and not be much of a bother. Around 6 we have Dinner, and then take him for a walk for him to do his business. After that we relax in front of the TV. He pretty much knows we'll watch about two episodes of some show, then step outside for a smoke. So as soon as the second episode stops, he's already on top of us, begging for attention.

because 99.9% of them are cheap cash grabs and little more than a clicker game which just changes some arbitrary numbers to simulate progression.

What a crap clickbait thumbnail.

If you want to REALLY get comfortable with how linux works under the hood, then Gentoo is an awesome learning tool. The amount of choices and customization options is ridiculous, from choosing which features you want to enable(compile) for an app, to choosing between bootloaders, init systems, and so on.

I haven't used Gentoo in quite a while, but I wouldn't be a professional Sysadmin today if it weren't for Gentoo.

I don't think Trump will spend a day in prison. Simply because they don't want to set a precedent, that a u.s. president can go to jail.

Worst that might happen, is that he's barred from running again.

The Game isn't even out yet. Apart from that, who knows how much wiggle room on performance there will be by adjusting the settings.

I mean who ever imagined that Cyberpunk 2077 would be payable on the deck?

But, let's see.

Gravity. The biggest killer of Russians lately.

Well... Right off the bat, I can see what the problem is. You have totally mixed up entries for different releases of debian in there. It's a wonder it hasn't completely broken your system.

"Slut". Especially when used in porn. I just find it so cringey how it's used to describe any woman with an active sexual appetite. "Whore" is another one.

I'm guessing you live in the U.S.? Geez, what the fuck is wrong with that place, that you can't just go shop wherever you want?

I guess Americans have a different definition of "freedom" than I do.

Not surprising when corporations and special interest groups practically run the U.S. Government.

2 main issues with it:

Too slow for the average user. A lot less torrents available.

I've given up on multiplayer. Too many kids that apparently had relations with my mom.

Contributions? You mean legalized bribery.

Serbia is relatively easy to emigrate to. Getting a passport is not that big of a deal there.

You could take a look at refind, if you're on a efi system. Refind is a boot manager that can either chainload other Bootmanagers, kernels as well as eny efi bootloader entries. Even if grub is borked. You can probably set it up on a usb stick or even find a rescue distro that uses refind. It's good as a failsafe if you can't get grub to work.

You can try to faff around with keywords and tags, e.g. give x264 or x265 a higher score rating, etc... As a failsafe you can configure a trashcan location and specify that all deleted files go there first and don't get emptied for X amount of days.

A few directed by Ritchie Cunningham, he often collaborates with Aphex Twin and Björk.

Prodigy's "Smack my bitch up" That video just had excellent camera work and a surprise twist at the end.

Pretty much all videos of Daft Punk's "Discovery" Album.

Jamiroquai "Virtual Insanity" Simple setup, but great execution.

A few from Peter Gabriel come to mind as well.

Not really with mdadm raid5. But it sounds like you like to live dangerously. You could always go the BTRFS route. Yeah, I know BTRFS Raid56 "will eat your data", but you said it's nothing that important anyways. There are some things to keep in mind when running BTRFS in Raid5, e.g. scrub each disk individually, use Raid1c3 for metadata for example.

But basically, BTRFS is one of the only filesystems that allows you to add disks of any size or number, and you can convert the profile on the fly, while in use. So in this case, you could format the new disk with BTRFS as a single disk. Copy over stuff from one of your other disks, then once that disk is empty, add it as a additional device to your existing BTRFS volume. Then do the same with the last disk. Once that is done, you can run a balance convert to convert the single profile into a raid5 data profile.

That being said, there are quite a few caveats to be aware of. Even though it's improved a lot, BTRFS's Raid56 implementation is still not recommended for production use. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20200627032414.GX10769@hungrycats.org/

Also, I would STRONGLY recommend against connecting disks via USB. USB HD adapters are notorious for causing all kinds of issues when used in any sort of advanced setup, apart from temporary single disk usage.

Is it just me, or does he look like he's in the wrong decade? He looks like he should be the evil boss in an 80s sitcom.

Mislabeled files, not so much. Since there isn't really a way to verify the content until it's downloaded. You can adjust things like which file sizes are considered a certain quality, e.g. HD or 4k. But one approach could be that you define tags for release groups which you know and trust. And give those tags a higher score. This should lead to releases by those groups being preferred.

You can of course add multiple tags with positive and negative scores. For example I use tags to give a higher score to releases that have 5.1 audio, or which are non-hdr.

UPS with usb allows you to configure a script to properly shutdown your server when a power outage happens and the UPS battery is about to run out.

Sure, somebody has to keep an eye on AI. (Pun intended).

Back when internet cafés were still a thing, a common practice was to have a bunch of thin clients that would have no local storage and have them boot over the network. The environment would get wiped every time someone logged off.

You could do something similar. Cheap machines with no local storage. Bios settings that prevent any sort of booting from usb sticks and protect the bios with a password.

Projects like LTSP are designed for this.

You could boot the machines in a read only mode and just have the browser available. Perhaps also only allowing sharing of files through something like nextcloud where you could theoretically also lock down what type of files are allowed. Or at least be able to inspect the files that people are storing.

Fuck all of them.

Some porn does. Some doesn't.

"Shot and wounded...", American cops take some notes!

I've been hosting my own mail server, ever since I got into Linux. Most companies where I worked before, used self hosted email.

I've since migrated to using mailcow, which takes a lot of the headache out of it.

When you first start, it's a bit daunting. But easily manageble, once you've gained some experience.

Setup jellyfin and pick up a 4k Google Chromecast for your TV. Then use the jellyfin client app on that. Nice and easy.

That's a trend that needs to die. I blame MacBook airs and ultrabooks for this nonsense.
