I was going to say “isn’t Motorola owned by Google though?”, but then I looked it up. They’re owned by Lenovo. But they were owned by Google! In 2014, which is 12 years ago and I’m going to go crumble to dust now…

Oh wow, for the hundredth time in a row? What are the odds!?

I’m pretty sure all the Linux filesystems I’ve ever used don’t care about tilde. You might have to escape it or quote it if you’re typing it into a shell, since the shell might try to replace it with your homedir, but I don’t think the FS cares.

On my ext4 FS I was able to touch me~ow just now with no issues.

I don’t know a lot about stuff, but is there a reason you’re backing up the files off the disks, rather than imaging the disks into an ISO or something? I’ve never owned a 360 disk, so maybe there’s some reason I don’t know.

“That’ll still count as a wish though”

Honestly, I’m not a big fan if Microsoft generally, but I found NFS to be surprisingly not great for non-permanent infrastructure, whereas SMB took a few minutes and works great, at least in my use cases. Maybe I’m just a loser, though.

I know you’re gatekeeping from Turd Mountain, but just for completeness, the reason I use Jellyfin besides the “pretty for my wife” reason is that it keeps track of her progress between clients. She sometimes watches things on her laptop, sometimes her phone, sometimes her tablet, and sometimes the TV, and no matter which one she uses it’ll remember which episode of her show is the next episode. It also highlights when a new episode of something has been added and cues her to watch the new episode that just came out.

But yeah, if I was alone and only had a pile of anime I’d already seen before, which I only watched from my Linux devices, Samba and VLC would do me fine 😛

violet08: Something something if they like stress, the rockclimbers should come climb me.

Thank you, thank you. I’ll be here until I’m not.

There’s an official doc about this: https://trapexit.github.io/mergerfs/latest/remote_filesystems/

Have you tried those things?

Yeah I mean, this is the benefit of the fragmentation. If you don’t want to update all the time, you just use a different distro. I know I do, I’ve run Linux for 21 years now and never once run Arch because I don’t want what it does, but we’re still on the same team, and the things they do benefit me nonetheless. There are drawbacks to the fragmentation, but this is one of the benefits.

I used glaxnimate quite a bit like 3 years ago for some videos I was making, and it was capable but rough in terms of UX. But it worked.

So good for them! And I hope it’s gotten better since then, because it certainly had the room 😛

What’s frustrating is that these are the costs of corruption. This, or that time they sabotaged the postal system in order to try and stifle mail-in voting. Taking a system that’s working, and making it not work any longer, doesn’t make things better for anyone. It’s just overhead! It’s paying to knock down a functioning building, leaving nothing in its place, and then paying every month to maintain a fence around the rubble.

No one benefits from this, except some people that shouldn’t be in power get to stay in power, so they can keep doing stuff like this to stay in power, and no other person sees any growth, improvement, or value. That would cut into margins.

Is it?

I switched from Strava to OpenTracks, which does all of the recording but none of the social parts, and keeps the data all on device as far as I know. This looks cool! But for me I probably wouldn’t have enough use of it to set it up, so I’m not going to ask you to support OpenTracks just for me, but I mention this in case it’s exciting for you. If other people use OpenTracks and would benefit from this, they can mention that too I guess!

But it looks great!

😛

Right, but I don’t wear shoes in my own home. I’m not asking them to do anything I’m not doing. I’d also like them to not piss in my plants, despite them being a guest.

And in a roundabout, indirect, sense, Darth Vader did kill Uncle Owen. He just might not even know it…

Not to mention, given the labels on that one map, they seem to think Google satellite view is, like, a live camera feed from space or something they just overlay roads and borders and stuff onto?

And that it would mean anything at all for the map to just suddenly have a big snake in it unexpectedly…

I was like “haha, that’s funny” and then accidentally spent like 10 minutes finding stuff because I was curious where the binoculars could be. So… thanks I guess?

That’s cool man, we’re not talking about you. We’re talking about Open AI, who pays employees hundreds of thousands of American dollars a year.

You should be allowed to use it for free. And a donation from a company like them, could make it easier for a person like you to get an awesome cutting edge tool for free!
