Thanks for the note about noise, it is hard to remember that at times. In a way I would consider SSD drives only just for that reason, but have to check if all prices are prohibitively expensive.

So thoughtful of you, caring for my decision paralysis :D Actually that sounds like a great alternative, might make me choose for something like it and completely delete my paralysis :)
Hmm less drives with more capacity... Wouldn't that reduce my ability to keep more copies? Unless with less drives you mean 3, instead of 6 and 3 for me us more than I have now xd On the other hand less drives mean less complex NAS, plenty of people have been talking of backup strategies, and I was just simply thinking of having a drive with a clone for important data and another drive for less important (media) data. Then maybe have the most important stuff in a cloud service as an extra safety.
Anyway, many thanks for
adding to my paralisysgiving a new extra option, it looks promising.The reaction to the post was strangely aggressive :/ I feel like I understand why this exists, and it's really nice to have another open source project for this kind of uses. It definitely looks interesting with a clear focus on creating a safe system to use external storage. For my case it is not the most adequate solution but I definitely see the value here. Keep the good job and don't get discouraged by the comments!
Calling it softbrick is such an exaggeration though. I can't tell if you faced a bug or if it was just that the launcher is very different from others and you missed some detail on how to use it.
I faced a similar issue, I saw the black screen and thought something was wrong, but I had read that long pressing for 3 seconds was supposed to open the settings, so I did that and everything was alright. It is strange enough to make it odd at first, the fact that they make it full screen as default doesn't help it, but swiping from the top or the bottom (as with any other full screen app) will show the system notification and buttons or gesture navigation. With any launcher I want to try I don't make them default right away, so using the home action of the system will bring me back directly to my default one. Using the launcher as an app will open it anyway to test and configure until I want to make it the default.
Anyway, anyone reading this and specially the above commenter if he wants to retry, there was nothing wrong and it is a very interesting novel idea. I'm actually liking it more and more as I start setting it up.
Hmm kando looks very interesting... I'm gonna need to check it out on the desktop at some point.
My wife also hates my phone, she can't even use it, between the gesture navigation, the custom launcher and the custom theme and icon pack...
This launcher will probably make her throw the phone at me if she tries to use it.
What did he do? He looks so innocent... I guess those are the worse
Interesting, I didn't know them and it seems like I might enjoy it. I'll have to check it out.
The animation studio of Arcane is a small French company, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the artists have grown up reading those graphic novels and were inspired by them. Rip-off sounds a bit harsh though, or is it more blatant than what I could see on a quick search?
Oh? I'm surprised, I think your comment is the first negative opinion on Arcane that I see (to be fair, I wasn't really searching for them either). So I'm curious if you don't mind explaining further, what for example did you find outright bad or making no sense? I would love to hear your opinion, also about season 1 as you specifically mention season 2, was the first better for you? I personally cannot say there was a lot bugging me and usually plotholes or characters acting against their role and background and personality just for the story's sake bother me plenty.
For context, I did know about runeterra and a bit of the stories from before Arcane came out, but I would never consider myself versed in it. I did read some of the background stories officially posted by Riot, some of the comics, and played a bit of league and legends of runeterra, but of course there's not that much story in the games anyway.
I'd have chosen Firefly, I never get tired of it, and I just love it.
So many other amazing shows though, a few already mentioned in other comments, like BSG would be a close second to Firefly.
But there are some shows that haven't been mentioned and I think they deserve it just as much. And because having to choose only one would make me regret losing these other ones, here they are:
Breaking Bad, it absolutely fascinates me and I just can't get over the character development and the writing and acting from the whole cast.
And probably the newest show that for me is on the very top, and actually I must admit it might have gone past the other ones (except firefly), Arcane. Everything about it, I love. The writing, the animation, the music, the characters, the world building, the character growth, ...
If I choose Firefly, I'd regret not choosing Arcane, but I just can't not choose firefly.
The show I'd have to choose if only one is allowed. Not a single bad episode, amazing actors that loved their roles and became a family and it shows. And the best spaceship in all of SciFi.
Absolutely brilliant show. Quality wise is up there at the top in writing and acting. Although for me personally, a lot harder to watch and enjoy long term, like I loved it when I watched it and I have great memories of it but I'm not sure I'd rewatch it.
The scene where they say fuck and only fuck like a hundred times in 10 minutes still fascinates me to this day in what good acting can be. And the character that's always whistling... (Sorry I can't remember their names, it's been so long) what an amazing role and actor.
You were the only one calling someone a dick just because they didn't agree with an article you shared. No one is fighting with you, we are criticizing the article as being misrepresentative of reality, you are taking all this weirdly personally while we were commenting on the topic of that article.
How can you read from his comment that he is trying to be a dick? He is clearly criticizing and reasoning against the point in the article you shared. The author in that article is being disingenuous or naive at best or misleading on purpose at worst. It feels like you are the one in need of chilling out.
That's not to say the author of the article is lying, that's the biggest issue, the article is written with enough truth to make it seem like it makes sense. But the reality is that the article only describes why kernel anticheat is not useful in linux, disregarding entirely the fact that kernel anticheat is an absolutely terrible solution that truly only causes more trouble than it helps catching cheaters. It's like someone trying to sell you the idea of why this or that lock for your house's door is bad or good as it can easily be picked by an expert while ignoring the fact that most thieves won't pick the lock and just break a window or something. Using kernel anticheat won't stop cheaters, which should be obvious by now with so many real life examples, so it's just extra software running impacting negatively and increasing the risk for security issues.
Thank you for writing this, it has saved me from having to write it myself :) also I believe you have explained it much better than I ever could. As I was reading the article I was just scratching my head... Is the author oblivious of actual cheating options? Why is he talking of direct memory manipulation only? Is he trying to sell some idea here or is it just ignorance?
Also, security through obscurity... If the kernel side anticheat code is so safe and good at catching cheaters surely they can share the source of what it does... Unless sharing it would mean it can be circumvented so kernel anticheat is actually just as useless, just a matter of finding how to get past it.
There was so much wrong in the article but somehow written with enough truth to it that it'd be easy for most readers to not realize the flaws in the logic it has. But the very worst you also pointed it out, "companies can spy on you already with superuser access so having code on kernel level must mean it is only done for good, no reason to fear it". Wow, such horrible logic.
And the last point you raise that the majority of cheaters in Apex used Linux reminded me of some absurd logic these companies keep using. When a game could be run on linux they will say that there's not enough users to justify supporting Linux, so it's OK to force anticheat that only runs on windows. But at the same time the majority of cheaters were using Linux.... OK so what is it, how can there be a majority of users cheating on Linux if there is not enough users in Linux to support it? If there's so few and cheating is mostly happening in Linux, how is cheating so prevalent? So yeah, the cheaters are not using Linux or there is a huge market of hidden Linux players.
Here in Lemmy, in my experience, this goes nowhere. You put it very clearly on your second paragraph. The small crowd with a strong opinion that thinks all AI is terrible in Lemmy is a bigger or at least more active group than the opposite. And with no ability to consider opposite points of view.
As a developer, most others I know of actually like the ai technology and use it as a way to analyze big amount of data quickly or as a starting point, while at the same time basically all hate the corporate AI side of things, specially idiotic managers and ceo-like asshats that keep pushing AI for all the wrong reasons and in all the wrong ways.
And fire the CEO :)
It's fascinating the reaction to someone discussing something, you block them and increase the bubble you live in. Go ahead, block, down vote, or whatever you want, I'll continue the discussion anyway.
Yes I call that literally bumping into someone, but I'm not a native English speaker, so maybe there is a layer to that idiom unbeknownst to me. You seem eager to make assumptions though, like you seem to imply now that I think that's OK? Well, it's OK to trip and accidentally hit someone, it's not OK to fake tripping to assault, or steal from, someone. It seems that should have been very obvious... Anyway I am not expecting a reasonable response from you anymore if that's the level of your discussion.
The guy bumps into her, and in a weird way it feels intentional, but I wouldn't feel sure of it just by the video, the only thing I feel confident to assume is that he is tripping balls, maybe so much he really suddenly fell like that? Who knows... His right hand grabs the hip of the girl, and the left one we cannot see it. It could be he reached for a boob grab, kinda odd from that angle, it seems easier to reach for the ass from behind but I don't have experience on groping people without consent so what do I know. I was also suspicious if he tried to grab something from the backpack but looking closely it doesn't look like it. The lack of reaction of the girl is strange as well, but maybe she is high as the sky and doesn't notice shit, she just keeps dancing.
No, but unfortunately not wanting to become an internet sensation is not going to protect you from becoming one. I respect him for not wanting to be known, but none of us is in control of that. What we do in public may be seen and shared without us having a say in it.
Hmm... As long as I can throw my own OS of choice to it, I would consider it "my" hardware. Maybe I didn't say it too clearly, I just don't want to get "locked" into some ecosystem that doesn't allow me to do whatever I want with it. I wouldn't discard a ready made hardware.
Raid 1 is definitely enough for now if I go with one very large drive and the same as a copy, but then how tough would it be to expand? What if I want to keep using my external drive as ling as it lasts? Am I over thinking it? I'll need to see what I can find on drives around and check the second hand market too to see if I can just go with whatever for now.. Is qnap like asustor? Can I change the os?
