Fix her? I want her to make me worse!

!murdermoe@lemmy.world for my fellow enjoyers of the unhinged.

then what’s the advantage of using that over the native capabilities of btrfs?

btrfs multi device file systems have some limitations. Adding a drive is instant, but if you want to stripe the data using raid0, that requires a lengthy balancing operation. The alternative is “single” mode, which does not concern itself with striping, and just pools the storage available. The disadvantage, is that in single mode you get the risk of raid0, with no performance benefit. btrfs does not actually make sure that the different blocks that constitute a single file end up on the same drive, which means that if one fails, you still likely lose everything.

MergerFS does not mess with any of the filesystems being combined. It can be configured to work in different ways, but each drive will remain its own, consistent, functioning file system. Drives can be browsed individually, removed, added etc. Instantly. To “empty” a drive, you just move the files on it to the rest by using the non merged folders. By default, “writing” a new file will always go to the drive with the most free space, and individual files cannot be stored “across” several drives even though the contents of a folder can be. This way, whatever is on each drive, can never be damaged by the failure of another drive.

So the benefits are isolation, and convenience. The downside is a definite performance hit, which may not be significant depending on your system or what you’re storing in the merged filesystem.

So I could do that for the root folder as well I imagine?

No. And you wouldn’t want to. First for the performance hit. Second, because mergerfs merges folders (drives have to be mounted, first), and uses a third as a mountpoint. As an example, to “expand” your home folder, you’d move your homefolder somewhere else, then merge that moved folder with the new drive (which you still have to mount somewhere), and then you’d mount the resulting file system where your old home folder was before.

You could even have two folders on the second drive. Use one to merge somewhere you want to pool all your storage, and the other to put stuff on the second drive in a way where losing the first won’t make half the files go missing. You might use that to store a copy of the OS install from the first drive, for example.

If you want to just extend storage space, maybe mergerfs?

/media is now for the system to mount stuff automatically. Using /mnt for something you’re configuring personally is fine.

You could mergerfs the new drive with some folder you’re already storing a bunch of stuff, and it will pool the storage capacity of the drives for that folder.

How about this Shiori Experience?

Also fuck, now I need to re-read the manga. God it’s good.

Pretty much only happens in art for me. Absolutely can’t stand the habit irl.

I don’t think so. Looking up the ISBN I only found two editions, hardcover and softcover.

That doesn’t mean there can’t be unsold stock anywhere. But books are printed in production runs, and additional runs only get printed if the first sells out without satisfying demand. I found no immediate details on different runs.

Your best bet is likely to walk into a local reputable bookshop, give them the ISBN and ask if they could try to source you a copy in good, if not “never sold” condition. You could do it yourself, but small bookshops network with other small bookshops. There’s a giant collective inventory of books there, with copies of obscure stuff that the big stores stop carrying the second they stop selling above a certain volume. Plus ISBN has made it so that shops can query each other for specific books very easily (at least for anything published after 1970).

The ISBN13 for the book is 9784592760849. If it had a lot of editions, there would be multiple ISBNs, one for each edition, but I found only the two. (The old 10 digit ISBN and the new).

It does a really good job showing humanity in a good light. And it builds itself up and pulls off some moments that don’t just make you go “maybe humanity ain’t so bad” but genuinely make you mentally scream “FUCK YEAH! HUMANITY RULES, WE MAKE THE LAWS OF NATURE OUR BITCH”.

It helps that the show is set in a setting where the environment has had time to heal, and nothing the cast does can lead to the kinds of problems we have today. They simply aren’t operating at that kind of scale. The show is able to revel in all upside, no downside, with each technological advancement.

It unapologetically celebrates the best parts of us, and I love the show for that.

IKR!

She was created by Nemupan through an official comission for the 2024 Spring Sale.

She was so well received Valve has now comissioned Nemupan for a fourth (I think) time to have her return for the Winter Sale.

And she’s been getting a lot of appreciation from other artists, too.

Nemupan wrote about her creation on Bluesky:

MOBA is an accurate description of the game systems, but playing it, it feels like the first genuinely fresh game in a decade.

To me, at least.

Oh she doesn’t mind some adventure. There’s an absolutely hilarious arc in the 90s TV series where Mamma just up and fucks off into the wilderness because she’s the one who felt like going solo for a while.

The rest of the family implodes as they desperately try to figure out how housework is done in her absence.

Everything?

It has the complexity of a MOBA (but genius level UX that completely addresses how that would normally be daunting, through a fantastic community item build system), movement approaching the intensity of Titanfall and a match format that finally fills the hole in my heart that was left by Battleborn, and is maybe even better.

It has a a unique 80s magic/fantasy aesthetic, and what we know of the lore so far is fantastic. (I laughed out loud when walking by a radio in-game and a newscaster voice went “Have love potions ruined dating?! These 20-somethings tell all!”)

My advice, hit up !deadlock@sopuli.xyz, get an invite, and just give it a try. The way it’s looking, it might turn out my favorite game of all time.

Wow!

Yeah no it doesn’t require that either.

You can add additional library folder locations from steam settings. As many as you like, on whatever drives you like. If they don’t work that way, then something is wrong with the filesystem, and symlinking can’t fix that.

The downloads folder is just a temp file directory for game files while they are being downloaded, it’s not where the games actually get installed. I’m not sure why symlinking that anywhere would make any kind of difference.

No it doesn’t.

Using windows filesystems on linux is simply not a good idea.

NTFS in particular does not support the permission system Linux uses, at all. Linux is able to kind of pretend there’s a working permissions system to access the files, but I’ve never gotten it to work well.

Went to do a distro upgrade on my home server, and I found out it hadn’t been uninstalling previous kernel versions, so /boot was completely filled with over 50 kernel versions.

Had to spend some time deleting them all so there was enough space for the upgrade.

Hullo!

Pappa is known for his sense of adventure. In all depictions he has a longing for excitement, and fairly openly expresses preference for things to be in crisis over boredom.
