Always use /dev/disk/* (I use by-id) for RAID, as those links will stay constant even if a disk is renamed (for example, from sdb to sdd).

I literally haven’t had ANY of those problems running Windows 10 or 11 FWIW, not have any of my friends or relatives.

I’m not anti-Linux or anything though, have used it for 26 years now, but only briefly on the desktop.

“climate change and other left wing topics”… I know that’s basically how it works in some countries, but it’s insane to consider certain scientific facts left wing, and we really shouldn’t support such statements.

I’m never giving it up out of principle, but I dunno about the RAM usage. Firefox was above 7GB last I looked. I have RAM to spare though, so I don’t really care.

Helpful yes, but far from enough. It only helps in some scenarios (like accidental deletes, malware), but not in many others (filesystem corruption, multiple disks dying at once due to e.g. lightning, a bad PSU or a fire).

Offsite backup is a must for data you want to keep.

Unless you’ve changed your vault encryption settings (which is not a bad idea!) it will likely decrypt rather quickly.
I changed mine to Argon2id with settings such that one iteration takes over one second (on a Ryzen 5800X3D, about the same on my phone), since I don’t unlock it very often.

Yes.
He doesn’t have 15 million subscribers that all hate him.

It’s always possible to re-encode video; it’s usually called transcoding. However, you lose a bit of quality every time you encode, so you might not gain much in the end. You can offset a bit of the quality loss by encoding at a higher bitrate/quality factor/etc than you otherwise would, but that of course takes up extra space.

Yep, that was beyond ridiculous IMO. Not sure how they felt it made enough sense to turn into a big season-long thing, affecting the entire future timeline of Star Trek.

Though I think Species 10-C (season 4) was an awesome episode that is rather underrated.

A telekinetic can move stuff with their thoughts. So they can count on the abacus with their thoughts.

The strange thing is that I’ve never seen any kind of AdBlock notice/warning on YouTube, ever. I’m also using uBlock Origin.

Why would they plug the phone to a PC via USB AND set it to webcam mode AND record or broadcast in a program on the PC if they didn’t want people to see?

94 Mbps is basically exactly what you can get from a 100 Mbps connection after overhead. 93-95% or so of the theoretical maximum. Something’s wrong and you’re getting a 100 Mbit/s connection.

That’s not far from reality. Quantum computers work with qubits.

“Maybe you should talk to Worf again.”

I’m not sure how it’s madness. An episode can be bad in itself and not contribute anything of value to the greater story arc, in which case I don’t see why it’s wrong to see it as bad.

TNG was great, and the best episodes are incredible, but most episodes were fairly mediocre. I feel SNW’s average is higher, and it’s probably in part for having LESS than half the number of episodes per season.

I think they’d be fine with 12, maybe even 14, but beyond that I don’t they could keep it as great as it’s been.

I know this is /c/memes, but do you use any memorization techniques? Spaced repetition is a basic but extremely useful one.
Cramming is terrible for learning because you need to repeat things with longer and longer intervals to truly remember it long-term. Thankfully learning with this method can be LESS work even though it’s much more effective.

It does move the plot forward in many relationships though, worth watching for that reason alone.
I also mostly cringe at the musical parts, but overall I don’t regret watching it.

It’s about saving space, not money. The jack is relatively large compared to other smartphone components. It’s bigger than a USB-C port, for one, when you consider the volume and not just the width.
