Snapper and BTRFS. Its only adjusts changes in data, so time travel is just pointing to what blocks changed and when, and not building a duplicate of the entire file or filesystem. A snapshot is instant, and new block changes belong to the current default.
- Comment on Why can't we have a static vintage web? 1 day ago:
Static page reads from the webage serving folder and index file, you just ftp a new corrected version to the server. At least that’s how I updated mine way back.
- Comment on Immich finally goes stable, a talk with the team 2 days ago:
Pretty sure you can set the options to leave permissions alone per app. At least on Graphene OS you have control of it.

Grsync is great. Having a GUI can be helpful

Typst is great.
- Comment on Is there some sort of "underground" net for old computing? 1 week ago:
You could check with Jill Bryant, she has 100s of old (still being used) hardware boxes, so she’d probably know good communities to join.

Also if you like retro computing, give HaikuOS a try, its a modern version of BeOS from the 90s?
- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 1 week ago:
Exactly this. As an idiot I purchase DRM music when Microsoft had its own music store. Some years later they closed it and there was no way to validate music keys.
But thankfully I still have an old Roxio9( I think) CD, and back then Roxio didn’t know what DRM was and would take the mp3 and burn it to DVD anyway, bypassing the key check, then I would just rip it back off the DVD…DRM is useless

MicroCenter is sort of like RadioShack if you have one near you
- Comment on Disney+ cancellation page crashes as customers rush to quit after Kimmel suspension 2 weeks ago:
Besides application specifics, its how the internet works currently to give low latency. AWS, Azure, Linode etc have data centers across the globe to replicate data near where the people are.
- Comment on Disney+ cancellation page crashes as customers rush to quit after Kimmel suspension 2 weeks ago:
Oh right, I skipped a part. It is not really a dev complexity prep issue. You build the database that serves the comments etc in as of in one place, then you deploy cache servers for scaling. They self replicate, so a comment in California gets commited to the dbase, the server in new York pulls the info over from the Cali change, it sends back that it is synced with the change. And vice versa. The caching servers do the work, not your program.
- Comment on Disney+ cancellation page crashes as customers rush to quit after Kimmel suspension 2 weeks ago:
Caching servers, they self replicate when a change is committed, then send back a signal to main server that task has completed

The firewall on your server may need masquerading set and IP forwarding set.

You could just Google his comments or listen to his podcasts he promoted violence.
Charles Kirk, the recently killed hard-right Christian nationalist, had been “repeatedly making references to physically assaulting and even lynching trans people on his podcast, the Charlie Kirk Show”.
Sometimes he targeted his violence specifically against trans. Other times, he incited violence more broadly against LGBTQ along with other minority groups.

If you mean as a permanent resident, then a family member who agrees to sponsor you (should you be unemployed and a drain on social services) is super helpful
- Comment on tool to make an stl from 2D image? 3 weeks ago:
This takes an images and makes an STL. There are others out there like BackflipAI that does some “intelligent” destermination when converting a flat image to 3D.
- Comment on Fuck you in particular 3 weeks ago:
The company that makes the paint version of VantaBlack licensed it only to one guy to use, the art community felt that was unfair. Thus the pink, and I think a new black etc.etc.
- Comment on Fuck you in particular 3 weeks ago:
They sell it as a paint, however : “Controversy arose when Surrey Nanosystems granted Anish Kapoor exclusive rights to use Vantablack in artistic applications. Many artists voiced opposition to his monopoly over the substance.”

A good christian man would embrace everyone, not the bullshit he spouted
- Comment on For people who relocated: when did you realize you want to live in the new place long-term & why? 3 weeks ago:
For out country to country move it was my dad landing a good job and them sponsoring us to move.
For my move from Ontario to BC, Canada it just took a single visit. The scenery and climate in BC was so much better than Ontario. More People had awareness of the environment being important, bikes were everywhere. Social programs made more sense. It just felt like a more civilized society than Ontario cities.

Yep a 2TB 2010 NAS drive still holding data, the spin up time is getting a bit slow and some SMART numbers show it is getting older, so moved my data to a new drive to avoid catastrophic failure.
However watch out for bit rot on old drives. I had a few images fail to load because bits had become corrupted.
A ZFS system would alert you or fix these problems
- Comment on How Transparent is Clear Resin in actual use? 4 weeks ago:
It can be clear like the formlabs sample, but its not clear like molded acrylic or acrylic sheet. It has some cloudyiness to it.
You can buy the keychain halves from all express, or epoxy molds.

- Comment on AI in Education: Doomed? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t disagree about learning how to use them, but we already have lazy uni students using it to write their papers and they exit uni not knowing how to think critically or how to formulate ideas properly
- Comment on AI in Education: Doomed? 4 weeks ago:
Anytime you present info to people without them having to digest, comprehend and formulate ideas, you remove opportunity for learning and dementing ideas. Kids copy pasting from LLM to fill in answers is just going to be mindless drol. USA already lacks education, thus why they have denied science, defunded education dwpartment, and are removing vaccine mandates. At this rate USA will slide into the Idiocracy movie plot quickly.

They do, its just not economical for energy and time, when you are dealing with something generic. Good for broken one offs
