  • Nothing inherently, but it’s a rolling release, so the further away from the latest versions you are, the more likely something is going to prevent you from updating. Arch is the same way, but Steam OS is based on Arch snapshots, not a rolling release.

    You kinda have to watch after rolling releases pretty constantly in order to keep them up to date and make sure they don’t get left behind.

  • I take it you’ve never even tried Linux before. Both of those things are not things that will hold you back. My mom uses Linux, and she barely knows what “right click” means.

    With regard to your Steam games, as long as you don’t play games that use restrictive anticheat, you’ll be fine.

  • I have all Reolink cameras and they’re awesome. They have both indoor and outdoor cameras. They’re really expensive compared to other similar cameras, but the software is really good, and there’s no subscription. You don’t even need to log in. Everything is only stored locally, on either SD cards in the camera or a separate “home hub” (or both). They have motion and object detection built into the cameras.

    The way I have them set up is every indoor camera is plugged into a smart outlet that disconnects their power through Home Assistant when either me or my wife are home.

    The outdoor ones are connected to solar power, so I didn’t even have to run any wires.

    I’d highly recommend them.

  • Oh I got this. Real good fuck up. So, I run a bunch of services for me and family and friends, like Nextcloud, Immich, Mastodon, etc. All of their data is stored on a big RAID array built with mdadm. I built it before I knew about dm-integrity, so I wanted to rebuild it with dm-integrity running on all the disks. So I took out one disk (it’s a RAID6, so it can stand losing a disk just fine), and added dm-integrity on top of it. When I tried to add it back to the array, mdadm was like, “that’s not a big enough device”. Ok, yeah, makes sense, dm-integrity takes up some space. So I took all the services offline and started a resize2fs to reduce from 22TB to 18TB. Well that was taking forever, so I canceled and ran e2fsck, no worries. I started a new resize2fs reducing from 22TB to 21.8TB, which should be good enough. On pass 4, it’s looking like it’s gonna take 8 DAYS. I can’t have my services offline for that long, so I cancel and run e2fsck. Thousands of errors. Oops.

    At least it’s looking like all the errors are just in Mastodon’s cache files.

    So now I’m moving all the files to an external drive in order to migrate the array properly. In its degraded state though, the array is painfully slow. At least my services are online.

    So basically I risked my files (though I have a backup from about three days before all this), and gave myself an extra maybe ten days(?) of work.

    Moral of the story, don’t ever use resize2fs unless you have time to wait.

  • Democrats do gerrymandering too. Basically without gerrymandering, the power would shift about 4% in Democrats favor. Enough to shift power in the House, but not as much as people think.

    (That statistic comes from a video I watched a while ago, and could be wrong, so take it with a grain of salt. I’m not an authority on this matter.)

  • Personally, absolutely. California subsidizes so many of the red states in this country, and it sucks, because we don’t get the representation we should. We have 10% of the population, but only get 2% of the representation in the Senate.

    That being said, I am completely aware that this is Putin’s goal, and that is why there is a lot of discussion online from Russian bot accounts about this.

    It sucks when your goals align with Putin’s, because he is such a monster.
