I know and agree.

Mine post was a joke.

brew install neofetch

Oh, that's nice!

I just found out you can install KDE dolphin on windows!

Other than the fact it's full of Chinese spyware?

Let's see...

The interface sucks.

The app is barely stable and crashes randomly.

Absolutely zero thoughts on Linux gaming.

Unusable communities.

I'm sure others can give more reasons.

Yes, ZFS is commonly known for heavy disk I/O and also huge RAM usage, the rule used to be "1GB of RAM for every TB of disk" but that's not compulsory.

Meanwhile, about BTRFS, keep in mind that Synology uses a mixed recipe because the RAID code of BTRFS is still green and it's not considered production ready. Here's an interesting read about how Synology filled the gaps: https://daltondur.st/syno_btrfs_1/

Oh that's great to hear. Thank you for sharing.

As a EV owner, I'm fine with that.

I remember saying it about 10 years ago:

You can see the culture shock in how progress works across different countries:

Japan, let's build a shockingly fast and quiet train! USA, here's an electric car that drives itself.

The most common software choices are TrueNAS and UNRAID.

Depending on your use-case, one is better than the other:

TrueNAS uses ZFS, which is great if you want to be absolutely sure the unreplaceable data on your disks is 100% safe, like your personal photos. UNRAID has a more flexible expansion and more power efficient, but doesn't prevent any bit flip, which is not really an issue if you only store multimedia for streaming.

If you prefer a hardware solution ready to use, Synology and QNAP are great choices so long you remember to use ZFS (QNAP) or BTRFS (Synology) as filesystem.

Or... we could Europenize America so everyone wins.

Battle Angel Alita is exactly what I was thinking, it's also a great movie it deserves a sequel!

"500 Alpine installations? Are you trying to turn their computer into a ski resort?"

Better now? 🤣

Depending on what's your usecase, or what you want to achieve, running different distros on different virtual machines may be the best solution for you.

For years I wanted a Linux phone.

So I switched from iPhone to Android.

You monster!

I hate how natural is called natural cuz there’s nothing natural about it

It's all Apple propaganda to make their way more justified to their Apple fanbois.

I like traditional scrolling, that's how I learnt and how I like it on all my computers.

Unfortunately, I also have a MacBook, which I love! The touchpad scrolls the "Natural" way, like on any modern phone, but if you plug in a mouse, it scrolls the "Natural" way, too. Which I hate! You can change the scrolling direction in the settings, but that will change the scrolling direction for the touchpad as well, so I'm stuck.

It's so frustrating that I gave up using a mouse on the MacBook.

Can't disagree. When I talk with my European and Asian friends, sometimes they ask about America, and my answer is usually something like "The US is a great place to live, the best country in the world, if you're rich!" and I think that's factually true.

Well, being Japanese sure sucked a lot more 80 years ago.

I wish we had this in Europe, would be easier to filter out those bullets.

Unfortunately in Europe nobody cares about green texts nor iMessage, everyone uses telegram or WhatsApp.
