The guy who just stopped on the track and demonstrably slowly walked off just before the train came…

Just why?1

Wow, 1569 ad companies want to track me on that specific page…

Makes me wonder what the 1569th company does that the other 1568 companies doesn’t, what does it bring to the table?

Why should I as a marketing executive use that specific company for tracking over say, Google or Meta?

Or to be blunt, why does the world need the 1569th company tracking the same things as all the others?

I have been very lucky so far, and have had very little exposure to drama in general.

I have thought about creating a video series that is distributed via torrent, that could be a decent idea…

If you are still using X, get Fluxbox, very lightweight, requires some config, but that is fairly easy.

Yep, LVM is basically a software raid 0, I used it when setting up Linux server VMs for years at my last job, as far as I know they are still running fine.

The VM system backed up all VMs regularly, so I used LVMs as it made increasing the storage on a server easier for me.

Since it is just a raid 0 that can span several disks and one disk failiure can bring it down I don’t want any irriplacable data on it, so games from Steam seems like an excellwnt idea.

That also means that being able to just have a volume spanning several disks would be an easy and simple way to increase storage when space is running tight.

I am an avid hobby photographer and I would never trust an LVM without some kind of added protection, I am looking to get a Synology NAS with minimum of four drives raided in raid 5.

I have a very old Intel NAS with used drives that I used for many years, but I don’t trust it anymore, I keep it powered off as a cold backup.

That depends on your usecase.

I have setup servers where I mounted extra drives on /srv/nfs

When/If I switch to Linux I will probably mount my secondary drives to folders like

/home/stoy/videos

/home/stoy/music

/home/stoy/photos

/home/stoy/documents

/home/stoy/games

The ~/games will probably be an LVM since it contains little critical data and may absolutely need to be expanded to span several drives, though I would also be able to reduce the size of it and remove a drive from the LVM if needed.

I’d make a simple conky config to keep track of the drive space used

I’d just keep using the default automount spot for automounting drives.

When cats sharpen their claws on wood it keeps them at the right length.

The only time we needed to clip our cat’s claws was when she was getting old and couldn’t sharpen them herself.

We noticed it when she was getting more and more passive, and on a whim we looked ar her claws, they had grown into her pads on her paws, we started cliping them regularly, but only slightly, and she was soon feeling much better.

This happened after and accident when she was out and we thought she got lost, but after a few days she was back in our garden, she was clearly in pain so we took her to the vet and one of her rear legs had been dislocated, it took weeks to get it to heal, and after that event she started having trouble with her claws.

Nope, not to my knowledge.

I have never heard about that being a problem or even a thing.

Untill someone makes a wood detector I don’t think they are worried about it.

The point is that a metal detector is specifically made to find stuff easier, and significantly cuts down on manpower needed to find stuff, increasing the risk of scavanging.
