- Comment on What do all the subgenres of music mean? How does anyone make sense of them? 15 hours ago:
I love isekai anime but there are lots: the old ‘technical’ isekais that just involve going to another world, then there are reincarnation isekais, videogame isekais (& subsub genre of otome villainesses isekais), alt-history is email, reverse isekais, death game isekais, … (Etc) there can be a ton of overlap where they sometimes borrow tropes and themes or are influenced by one another. Each has a history and a sort of genealogy, but there all isekai. The nuances, or even the very existence, of the subgenres can often be lost on casual viewers.
It’s sorta like that. Less well defined, and often relational. Borrowing sounds and ideas, or tones and themes. Blues rock is rock than uses elements of blues music, like like how blues jazz is to regular jazz. It’s an independent dimension from the main genre in that case, like punk rock… I wonder if punk jazz is a thing? Punk classical? Hmm…
- Comment on I have two questions 3 days ago:
- I haven’t seen your examples, but animating on twos and threes is common and how they animate different elements at different cadences and the techniques they use is what imparts the sensations of clarity, smoothness, speed, and impact. A well animated 24fps can easily be superior to 60+ slop that neglects the fundamentals. There are times where more can be beneficial, and there were some anime’s that leveraged ~60fps in specific scenes (in the days of interlacing) but it was used quite sparingly, usually during moments when they wanted an uncanny feeling or detail clarity in high motion; but they’d still use much lower cadences for the vast majority, and not just for cost reasons.

However they’ve banned games without reason many times. Wanting to be a broad marketplace is fine, but I just wish they were either committed to the bit or went back to curation because they had a higher density of good games back in the days of Greenlight.

- Comment on [Help] Improving HDD storage setup for personal server 1 week ago:
A DAS is more like an external drive where as a NAS is a service reachable on your LAN. Of course, you could use a NAS and plug it straight into your PC for a more DAC-like experience to keep it off your network… It really depends on what you’re after.
It ultimately breaks down to these choice dimensions, and there’s often overlap which may inform one another (in no particular order):
- platform hardware
- storage medium(s) (ssd, hdd, layout, caches,…)
- filesystem(s)
- operating system
- shares protocol (Samba, NFS, WebDAV,…)
- topology (direct attach or where in your network it’s located, vlans and firewalls etc.)
I interpreted ‘server’ to mean you had platform already which you want to turn into a NAS. If you want storage exclusively for your server, then DAS is fine. If you want to have the storage accessible my multiple devices, then you want a NAS.
It depends on your usecase and what features you’re after.

- Comment on [Help] Improving HDD storage setup for personal server 2 weeks ago:
Others have answered most questions but I just wanted to point out a few things:
NAS is network attached storage: a separate server which makes ‘shares’/volumes available over the local network. A DAS is ‘direct attached storage’ which plugs directly into a machine. Since you have a server, a NAS is probably the right route. techradar.com/…/das-vs-nas-what-is-the-difference
Good that you mentioned both backups and redundancy as they’re not the same. www.tencentcloud.com/techpedia/108368
Some people want a dedicated machine for being a NAS, while others want to make use of the hardware by making it pull double-duty as a server. I have an old PC I loaded up with drives and installed truenas on: I made zfs pools (opposed to raid) and exposed shares to the network. I can set up virtual machines or use “plugins” / jails for hosting other services like immich etc. E.g. www.truenas.com/docs/solutions/…/nextcloud/
Regarding backup versioning, modern filesystems like zfs and brfs have snapshot features. Regarding “one backup”, it depends how important it is to you. www.backblaze.com/…/the-3-2-1-backup-strategy/

True… What actually inspired that thought, indirectly, was thinking about how the anime I was watching (seven spellblades) felt like a more interesting wizarding universe than HP.

- Comment on Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye 1 month ago:
Perhaps an open set of standards at the least. Some form of super-oauth would be required but I should have clarified that the openness of a true federation-like model is aspirational: invisioned as a conscious and intentional rejection of the ever-increasing monetization, financialization, and enshittification of all mediums of social interaction.
People didn’t jump on the FB metaverse partly because it was shit, but partly because it was painfully obvious it was full of grift and a billionaire’s wet dream of further social monopolization. The friction and frustration has been increasing. The world falling apart makes the little nagging annoyances just that much more irritating, and people are starting to actively resist them rather than just rant and succumb.

The metaverse, in some form, is nearly inevitable IMO. But it’ll be a federated-like infrastructure and I’m very glad Facebook will have fuck all to do with it.
