Ah that might be something. My PC at home is a monster.

I stopped using it after the API fiasco, but only deleted my account last year, admittedly.

Doing my part! ✊

Huh, not something I noticed. Maybe I wasn’t paying attention.

I don’t have issues with Firefox and Google Meet? What issues are you having?

More posts than I’ve made in over two years.

Besides that, that’s not very helpful. :⁠-⁠P

😁 Excellent. I hope you find the answers you seek!

I can’t help here, sorry about that, but please don’t run commands that an AI gives you. At the very least I hope you checked the docs for that command and made sure you understood what it would do before running it. That should be the minimum. Ask humans first, please. 😅👍❤️

That thread ender, holy. Well said.

I’m thinking she could have made mistakes on her brows early in her life. That could also be the case.

People seem to like to call people transphobic nowadays I guess. I had some nut job here on Lemmy calling me transphobic despite no evidence of it. They followed me around on my previous comments calling me a transphobe. I asked them to post screenshots for everyone to see the evidence. Multiple times. I said I would apologize for anything that could be misconstrued as transphobic, and try to make it clearer what I actually meant to say. No reply.

People are just weird sometimes. Maybe they don’t know what the words mean that they use. Ignore it, is my advice.

I like my wife to be smooth on her legs, and semi smooth downstairs. She likes herself fully smooth though.

I even like myself smooth, but my wife doesn’t want me fully smooth.

It’s all just preference. 🤷‍♂️ Nothing to do with gender at all, in our case.

I don’t need support for RAID at all to begin with I think. I just need to make my existing drives network-accessible. 😁

I do not have backups at all. This is just… warez. Nothing too important to backup, really. It would just be annoying to download again.

Ooh, okay, definitely sounds cumbersome at first glance.

Alright, cool, thanks for the heads-up regarding wiping with Synology!

Yeah, I mean, my special case is basically only that I have a lot of data and I don’t really have anywhere to store it temporarily before installing it in a NAS. 😅 So that’s why I want to just plop them in there… But I don’t know what the best way forward would be to turn my drives into network drives. Just a small drive bay maybe.

Yeesh, okay, I see.

Then maybe some kind of compact drive bay would suit my needs better for now, that I would just connect to a mini PC of some sort.

Thanks for all the info!

Thanks for the notes on network storage access protocols!

A big point of a NAS in my mind is to run some sort of redundancy, which means you will want to setup a RAID on the drives in the NAS

Cool, thank you for that as well, and I was aware of that so I thought I would mention that in my previous comment. But I was specifically wondering if I could in fact just chuck them in as-is and it would be able to access the drives? Because like, they’re separate drives, right? How would that work in a non-RAID setup when accessing from another computer? Would they show up as separate drives? Is it at all possible?

I’m new to NAS hardware and how it works.

If I buy a NAS, say from Synology, would I be able to just chuck my existing EXT4 HDDs full of data in there and it’ll work? Maybe even one or two with different file systems? I’m not too worried about backups or RAID yet.

What are the limitations of dedicated NAS hardware? Can I also… “store” stuff on there? Like, say, have a “schmorrent” 🏴‍☠️ client save “data” directly to the drives from another computer on the network? Or do all services interacting with the data storage need to run on the NAS hardware?

I refuse to accept this impossible task. Surely the note has been completely destroyed.

Also how is this a shower thought?

Depends on how much of each is in the respective place, I feel. 😅

So you can install packages? It’s not a fully immutable system?

Agreed. 😄 Arch and pacman definitely adheres to this philosophy of “unless you know what you’re doing”. Pacman allows this type of selective upgrade, and it allows to ignore any package you like during a system/all-package upgrade, which may or may not break the system.

You can also post-install make changes to the database of installed packages, like change the install reason for a package (as a dependency or as explicitly installed).

All these things are happily executed without warning. 😁

The reason for the need to check the news is that the system can have any combination of package versions installed, and requiring manual intervention by the user in any quirky upgrade situations helps to keep the complexity down of the system and package manager. I think it’s worth the low complexity.

The overhead of checking the website is super low. It’s basically the same as checking the release notes when there’s a new version of Ubuntu, or whatever other software you might be curious of. Same thing.

essentially made all your games run within a sandboxed instance which has a limited set of binaries that emulate another mini OS within your primary OS.

Isn’t it just library bundling? It’s not like it’s running inside a virtual machine or anything.

I can see the Rocket League process right there when listing my user processes, e.g.

There are so many conflicting reports regarding the performance on Flatpak, for Steam but also in general, so I don’t know what to believe.

At least one source said the performance overhead is negligible on modern hardware, so I think I’m gucci.
