There is 1 leftover slot, but it's PCI Express 3.0 x1 lanes. That won't be sufficient, right?

Store bought pudding, no clue what I was supposed to do with that.

I don't have an available slot for another NVMe, and I wanted to avoid SATA because the prices are too similar despite the performance difference.

Of course I understand that the money that is put in is invested, but that doesn't mean the problem goes away when the system relies on the "pot" growing at a certain rate.

EDIT:

Mismanagement/poorly built systems are not the same as Ponzi schemes. Unless you think, I don’t know, US Social Security is also a Ponzi scheme?

I'm not implying that it's the same, just that the comparison fits better than you might expect.

Cool. I haven't transcoded most of my music to a supported format yet, but I might try this out after I have.

I usually just mutter "finally", possibly prefixed with an explative.

I just wanted to say I appreciate you taking the time to fact check OP's claim

I see a variation of this headline every couple of years, it's continued existence disproves itself.

I think it actually fits quite well.

A Ponzi scheme is a form of fraud that lures investors and pays profits to earlier investors with funds from more recent investors.

Meanwhile, the current pension system in most countries depend on a growing population to spread out the payments for pensioners over multiple workers.

Ponzi schemes collapse when there aren't enough investors to sustain the dividends to be paid to the existing investors. Most countries' pensions rely on an increasing amount of working age inhabitants to pay retirees and are now having issues paying out pensions due to the shift in demographics, that's why many countries have been increasing the retirement age recently.

There are 2 solutions to this.

1. Increasing birth rates, this option is not sustainable in the long term but is commonly preferred for reasons mentioned below.
2. Migration. There are currently plenty of countries with a large working-age population and a weak economy. Letting those migrate would solve the demographic issue, but is political suicide.

I'm guessing they're going to use the classic method of increasing the subscription price and then later creating a new lite subscription that does have some ads.

According to firelight I have 457 GiB in my home directory, 85 GiB of that is games, but I also have several virtual machines which take up about 100 GiB. The / folder contains 38 GiB most of which is due to the nix store (15 GiB) and system libraries (/usr is 22.5 GiB). I made a post about trying to figure out what was taking up storage 9 months ago. It's probably time to try pruning docker again.

EDIT: ncdu says I've stored 129.1 TiB lol

EDIT 2: docker and podman are using about 100 GiB of images.

@credo@lemmy.world please keep it civil. If you feel someone's comment is pointless, just block them and move on.

We don't have one, we have multiple

I haven't, I'll try that

EDIT: I've tried it and it had little effect (< 1 GiB)

Thanks for citing sources

Thanks for the advice, I'm probably going to need about 2-3 TiB. I guess I'll just need to figure out a way to offload some more data to my server to keep it under 2 TiB.

I thought it was pretty good, especially for nautical navigation

I saw it and refreshed the ublock filters and everything works again

What about OSMAnd?
