Don’t bother with a hot spare. For household needs you’re just spending money to have a drive that will always be on. If you set up your notifications and your array right, you can have plenty of time to order a replacement.

I went RAIDZ2 both times (dual disk redundancy, any two can die and its all good). Had a few spewing warnings over the years, and just replaced them.

Anywho, my data array is about 10 years old but earlier this year I relocated to bigger disks and less disks. ZFS is worth it.

Yeah trump is sad.

Booted my desktop since my work computers windows and I game mostly on my steam deck, and holy shit is Manjaro fast as hell compared to windows in 2025. Like I’m so used to clicking and waiting and in Manjaro you click and it’s just there.

Man fuck windows.

What am I missing, hasn’t this been around for like months and months now?

Ya all the gun nuts, aren’t you supposed to bear arms at this point? Wasn’t that the point?

Gonna be a rough time. Maybe we will have it all at once and wipe out 3/4 of the worlds population and maybe the planet will recovery a few generations later.

But that would be a stretch of a silver lining.

Ok I’ve had it. After decades I’m finally going to watch this.

The reason I went android was because it wasn’t the fruit side.

Ya that works too. At the time I discovered it I was using piped for a long time already. Greyjay had some more bells and whistles and the UI is more overwhelming at first. It also had a big that was annoying and functioned fine in piped so I stuck with that in the end. Also greyjay is a massive app by comparison if you care about that.

What is with all the moth memes lately?

This doesn’t surprise me in the slightest

I only have internet and I pay 118 a month. Big company came by the other day offering double the speeds, 2 streaming services of my choosing, and cable for 108 a month.

So this is why I’ve come back to “cable” after not having it for over a decade. I can’t say I’ll use it, because ads drive me up the fucking wall, but to have double the internet speed, sports, and two streaming services included? I’ll do it.

Only 1500?

Sounds like the department of vulnerabilities.

If you’re on Android, get pipepipe from f-droid.

Not only is it a way better and more functional YouTube app, it doesn’t do ads.

This is their way to try and get you into their money making fold.

Great idea. Eventually, and if enough ask, it could be a thing.

And kevilar vest. And jock. Maybe even a helmet.

But if course, that enables the narrative that you come dressed to fight or something stupid. What has happened to Western civilization…

Maybe you did. Maybe you didn’t. Do you control the source code? What if these “disabled” toggles are placebo and the “if” statement in the code doesn’t exist and it just always gobbles up your data? What a naive way to think.

Will you be doing great when all your activity and gets leaked in screenshot form from windows recall, and all your activity is logged via your mandatory online account tied to your PC?

Microsoft hand has been played and that’s the direction windows is going. It’s practically here.
