Partisanship is a cancer. Inaction is a choice.

  • When you accidental format the wrong /dev/sdX

    Jump

  • I presume you have had to run on RAM, considering you removed all drives

    Yes. Mass deployment using Clonezilla in an extremely heterogenous environment. I had to make sure the OS got installed on the correct SSD, and that it was always named sda, otherwise Clonezilla would shit itself. The solution is a hack held together by spit and my own stubbornness, but it works.

  • When you accidental format the wrong /dev/sdX

    Jump

  • Only if you're working with SCSI hardware. On Linux, SATA (and probably PATA) devices use the same kernel driver as SCSI, and appear on the system as SCSI hosts. You can find them in /sys/class/scsi_disk or by running lsblk -o NAME,HCTL.

  • When you accidental format the wrong /dev/sdX

    Jump

  • Broke: /dev/sd*Woke: /dev/disk/by-id/*Bespoke: finding the correct device's SCSI host, detaching everything, then reattaching only the one host to make sure it's always /dev/sda. (edit) In software. SATA devices also show up as SCSI hosts because they use the same kernel driver.

    I've had to use all three methods. Fucking around in /sys feels like I'm wielding a power stolen from the gods.

  • Do you keep your phone in your right or your left pocket?

    Jump

  • Whichever pocket doesn't conain the keys.

    And the keys go in whichever pocket doesn't contain my phone.

  • Do early ipods not show up as mass storage devices at all?

  • Maybe I'll put it in another community. Audiophile Circlejerk if it exists.

    But my main points boil down to:

    • Extra hardware -> extra work & materials -> extra cost
    • Additional point of failure
    • Horrible effect on repairability, e-waste
    • Limits audio quality and volume (both maximum and minimum) to the integrated DAC's output
    • Limits compatibility to devices that have USB-C and implement the protocols, which precludes everything that is analog

    Jump

  • That is a horrid idea from so many perspectives and I hope it never sees the light of the heavens. I would elaborate, but my reply would surely contain an excess of profanities and I fear the moderators' wrath.

  • No AI, no blockchain, no subscriptions, no streaming, no SaaS... By every modern metric, it's so dull it might not even exist.

  • can’t easily get a new one with a headphone jack

    That pisses me off to no end. Not just the fact that Apple took a steaming dump and every other company decided to eat it, that's just natural. But it would be So. Fucking. Easy. to capture an entire niche by just slapping a minimal DAC circuit and a TRRS socket on a phone. And nobody does it! Fairphone doesn't. Pinephone doesn't. "Nothing", which is supposed to be this quirky unique thing, doesn't, but what it does do is shove an AI in the camera where all it does is crank up the fucking saturation!

    Rant over, I have to go seethe alone for a bit.

  • What are the minimum or recommended requirements for a personal home server?

    Jump

  • The minimum spec is whatever e-waste you can find that still powers on.

    My home server has an i3-4160, 10 gigabytes of mis-matched RAM, a ten-year-old 240 GB SSD with 36000 hours on it, and three 1 TB hard drives in a RAID5 array each with ~25000 power-on hours. It runs Proxmox on the metal with a virtualized OPNsense, Nextcloud, and Jellyfin server (plus smaller services). Jank levels are high, but not fatal, and it was mostly free.

  • You can no longer browse open source code on GitHub without logging in first

    Jump

  • I can reliably trigger rate limiting by rapidly switching between files. Sometimes it's after looking at 10 files, sometimes up to 30. At any rate, it's not something a regular user would do (and at that point, why not just clone the repo?), and the rate limiting clears in less than a minute. It's really no worse than having to deal with Anubis-chan.

    People just love to freak out, I guess.

    What are some good open world games/series that would be nice to take a walk thru from start to finish?

    Jump

  • Eh.

    Without the unique boss designs and gameplay mechanics, the world looks and feels like every other Souls, but with more pixels. Not bad, but not strong enough on its own.

    Jump

  • Red Dead 2. Law killed my horse in Valentine, so I decided to walk and hitchhike back to Clemens Point. I wrestled a bear, found the plague village, blew up a KKK gathering... just regular old west things.

    The early STALKER games are also nice, if you're into that sort of atmosphere. Nothing beats the feeling of sitting in the rookie village next to the world's most mediocre guitarist.

    Is it fetishization for someone to find X ethnicity more attractive than every other ethnicity?

    Jump

  • Perfectly reasonable to be attracted to physical traits or customs (clothes, hairstyle, body modifications) that are typical for a particular culture or ethnicity.

    The problems start when attraction is contingent on belonging to a particular ethnicity.
