the_third,

if i use btrfs subvolumes, does it mean that i can have one EFI partition and one root partition, and then subdivide the root partition using subvolumes?

Yes.

how would that work during the installation process? or is it done after installation?

That depends on your distro. What do you plan to achieve with the separate subvolumes?

the_third,

Let’s agree on: it has a different performance for various use cases and hardware below. Sometimes better, sometimes worse.

the_third, (edited )

Not much time, I’ll be brief with three examples that come to mind from my experience:

Great use: Large filestorage with regular changes, daily snapshots, stream snapshots offsite as backup.

Not so great use: Storage backend for qcow2 backed VMs on spinning RAID. CoW made a mess of access times.

Really not great use: Large Postgres-DB with queries that creted large ondisk temp tables.

It really depends.

The moment the wheel was invented a dog immediately started running after it. A reference to how some dogs like to chase cars today.

the_third,

Well, some do. In Scandinavia many people drive tires with spikes. In Germany they are illegal. Depends on how hard winter is out there.

the_third, (edited )

Nah, when I was on vacation there I was always allowed to drive my normal winter tires. On some mountain passes e.g. chains were mandatory though, and for good reason.

Yep. He duped Fox into paying him for a Sci-Fi comedy show and then he went and made a loving homage to Trek.

the_third,

Oh great, thanks for turning on the breakfast radio in my head.

the_third,

Bullshit. Yes, we open doors and check all rooms for people and danger but if you’re there with keys we’ll use those. Of course we use those, where did you even get that idea.

the_third,

Not if you use water from the tap. A friend of mine in college did that when he had a water flatrate in his appartment. Worked pretty well.

the_third,

Server hardware with their 15000rpm fans will do that. We have a customer specializing in GPU intensive number crunching. They have little storage cupboards accessible from the hallway for every two person office. Their workstations sit there and the cables go through the wall to the desks.

the_third,

Nah, not everywhere. Our village has no water meters because, why. Spring water from the mountains is not treated, only monitored for microorganisms and contaminants and fed into our water supply by gravity. Doesn’t really matter if it runs through a computer on its way to the sea or not.

In places like big cities or flat plains where the water needs to be pumped and treated that’s a different thing.

the_third,

This is scene, there are standards goddammit!

Yes, there really are.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_(warez)

the_third,

Yes, but, no.

the_third,

A PhD is something that you pour a lot of time in so you can tell most people “nah, just the_third, that’s fine” and a few select people “That’s Dr. the_third to you.”

the_third,

Package format by Canonical that sandboxes applications and packs them up including all their dependencies. Server side is closed source, thus you can’t implement a local mirror or your own snap store. Many applications are currently sandboxed in a way that makes using them cumbersome, e.g. when your home is on an NFS share.

the_third,

No, no, things are still awful.

the_third,

AV1 and film-grain synthesis solves this.

the_third, (edited )

Works fine for me. One has to take care not to overdo it, so the enconding filter sticks to erase noise and doesn’t start to remove fine details. I usually iterate over steps of five for the setting in FFmpeg/SVTAV1 on a 10 second sample of the source to find the best setting.

The player will then reproduce the noise pattern the encoder has identified during playback.

the_third,

The easiest way to steer a group is to get them all riled up about an issue that you don’t really need to do something about. Whenever you sense dissent or disorder you pull out that issue and everyone’s focused again and then you do whatever is actually in order.

the_third, (edited )

I mean, who would have thought 10 years ago that this would one day be a valid reason to switch away from the OS with the biggest marketshare. Weird times.

the_third,

Have dog, can confirm it is awesome given the right circumstances.

the_third,

Oh, spicy depression. Is that the exciting variant? If so, would you recommend over vanilla why-should-I-get-up-for-any-not-immediately-lifesaving-task depression?

the_third,

Yeah, but they really can’t digest grass.
