No one in 2025 has read all of that article.

What’s your stereo you’re connecting the record player to?

Who do you think I am?

If you want people to pronounce your project name correctly you should spell it that way. Having a FAQ on pronunciation means you’ve messed up and lost already. Want it to be called “Engine X”? Call it “Engine X”.

My favourite is SAP not wanting people to call it Sap but to spell it out S.A.P. Well sorry, but it’s a CVC word, literally the first kind of word everyone learns.

I still maintain that Emby is better than Jellyfin. I try it again maybe once a year and every time I end up back on Emby. It just runs better, works pretty flawlessly and doesn’t lose my libraries every so often. Music playback is better by far on Emby and that’s my main usecase.

Hardware decoding would be nice, but I don’t have a system I could use this on for either and I’ve not had trouble without it.

I really only used it for syncing photos from my phone so I went to Syncthing. The NC web interface I found far too slow to be any use, so I just mount network shares over NFS.

And that is why I no longer run Nextcloud

Mono does mean one, but that’s not the legal definition of a monopoly.

Played a bit of Metro Exodus last night. One of the best games I’ve played in a while, even though the silence of your character is weird.

RAID does not work today with any disks you may have: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l55GfAwa8RI

.The only sane option is ZFS with zRAID1/2.

Removed by mod

An HBA with the SAS cables should run to about £50 used.

Started Metal Gear Solid V yesterday. Spent about 2.5 hrs on it but think I’ve only actually played 45mins of actual game play. Fuck me there’s a lot of cut scenes.

Sounds like a good plan to me

I’ve switched to restic for my backups and have been very happy with it. Very fast, encrypted and snapshot history.

RAID gives you greater uptime. That is all. You should also have backups. So how much uptime do you need?

Can’t wait for longer days. Trying a weekly photo challenge, but with a full time job it doesn’t leave much light to use.

so each new ticket requires destroying and regenerating your workspace.

Now I don’t understand that. Complete your ticket, pull in changes from other and carry on.

What SCM are you using?

Who has more chance of a single disk failing today: me with 6 disks, or Backblaze with their 300,000 drives?

Same thing works with 6 vs 2.

Seagate “raw read error rate” is a terrifyingly big number if everything is hunky dory.
