Kind of reminds me of Goblin Valley. I don't think it is. Too green and rocks are the wrong color. But first thing that came to mind.

Might exist, or maybe there's some API that I can utilize in which case I could script it. I've done a very cursory search but nothing stood out.

I would love something that would grab x most popular songs from an artist/genre/year range that I have in my music library and create a playlist file. For if I'm just feeling like some "greatest hits" style music. And I don't want an LLM involved.

Also slow for me.

Same. I would love to see a global societal shift towards viewing not having children as a perfectly normal thing to do.

I am but a single humble meatbag that enjoys games and can't speak for all gamers, but I generally dislike the typical "gaming rig" aesthetic. I don't want RGB lights. I don't like ostentatious looking cases or accessories. I do find it tasteless, to reuse your term.

No sleight on those that do though. If that's your style, then enjoy it!

Referring to kids, quite aptly, as "post-campaign content" /chefskiss

I was able to retain time and money for gaming and other hobbies by having a vasectomy.

Tangential, but anyone passing by this comment and doesn't like popcorn after working at a theater?

Whenever I see a bowl of popcorn it reminds me of that smell of popcorn and coke mixed together in a garbage can. It's not so bad that I don't eat it at all. But if I do, I have very little.

I love Linux. I read this rant. I still love Linux.

Fine points. And I am considering that simplicity might be worth it. Except for:

Another fix might be moving towards software that doesn’t require the capacity to reverse updates frequently.

Totally solid advice, but I love my rolling release distro though. So for the time being I'm willing to accept the associated risk.

Your comment as well as @stupid_asshole69@hexbear.net were really food for thought for me. stupid_asshole69 advising against, and yours as a cautionary tale.

This would be a complex stack to accomplish my goal. It occurs to me that it'd be mdadm (raid 1) > LUKS > btrfs since btrfs can't do encryption which is right in the middle of that stack, so I couldn't use it's raid 1 functionality. If any of those pieces break, all the protection they would have otherwise provided me goes out the window.

And I'm not really worried about losing data. I already backup my personal files and most of my configs. The appeal with this kind of setup is the data redundancy and fairly quick recovery. But a partition clone like what saved you also works pretty well for that purpose. I don't know what I'll do just yet, but definitely taking all that in to consideration.

I wasn't familiar with timeshift so I took a look at it. My primary use case for snapshots is to take one before updates. So I can load from the snapshot if there's issues. It doesn't look like using it with ext4 would fulfill this use-case. But it looks like it also supports btrfs snapshots so could be useful as a UI to configure that.

Hearing roughly a decade of successful use, especially on systems with constrained resources, certainly makes me lean further towards btrfs.

its RAID ≠ 0/1/10 are buggy, but 0/1/10 are considered reliable.

btrfs has been solid and done everything I could want. It was a huge upgrade from mdadm and lvm

@ikidd@lemmy.world said that btrfs is poor at software RAID. I'll do a little research in to how it fares for RAID 1 vs mdadm. I don't see any reason I couldn't do mdadm>luks>btrfs if that's the better choice. But if btrfs is reliable and with comparable performance, I'd certainly rather do that.

It’s the shits at software RAID, but that’s rarely a thing on a workstation.

I am using a RAID 1 mirror over two disks. So that's good to know. I'll do a little research and see if it's better to let mdadm handle that.

Look at btrfs-assistant for adminstration. That’s what Fedora ships with, I think it uses Snapper in the backend.

Doesn't look like that's in the void repo. But that's ok, I don't mind learning the command line tools.

I don't know specifically about a medical lab tech program. But I do know about clinical software in general. It is by and large proprietary Widows software. Seems like something you may encounter. But said software could be delivered via Citrix, which does have a Linux client.

Thanks for the tip!

Edit: I typed out two sets of the same numbers, one in a row, intonating one after the other, and the others in a column in an attempt to impart the idea of all at once.

My Lemmy client put both on single lines, which is confusing. So I removed the original comment.

You guess right! Thanks for providing the correct syntax.

I agree with this sentiment.

My guess is I'd fit u/but_my_mom_says_im_cool's definition of a "Lemmy Linux bro". I'm that person that responds to any post about bad behavior from Microsoft with some variation of "use Linux".

But I won't shame any individual for using Windows. That's their choice.

I'm the Linux/open source/digital privacy person in my friend group. And I'm vocal enough about it that people know this, but I don't shove it down anyone's throat. But I will answer questions and offer suggestions when asked. And I've had some small successes in bringing people around in this way.

I feel like I was aware of this (much time has passed), but I think it's something we discovered by trying it out of curiosity.
