Woah, that's cool! I didn't know you just zfs send anywhere. I suppose I'd have to split it up manually with split or something to get 50gb chunks?

Dar has dar_manager which you can use to create a database of snapshots and slices that you can use to locate individual files, but honestly if I'm using this backup it'll almost certainly be a full restore after some cataclysm. If I just want a few files I'll use one of my other, always-online backups.

Edit: Clicked save before I was finished

I'm more concerned with robustness than efficiency. Dar will warn you about corruption, which should only affect that particular file and not the whole archive. Tar will allow you to read past errors so the whole archive won't be ruined, but I'm not sure how bad the affects would be. I'm really not a fan of a solution that needs every part of every disk to be read perfectly.

I could chunk them up manually, but we're talking about 2TB of lumpy data, spread across hundreds of thousands of files. I'll definitely need some sort of tooling to track changes, I'm not doing that manually and I bounce around the photo library changing metadata all the time.

It’s an excuse to throw a big party for all your friends

Absolute free speech is overrated. You shouldn’t be able to just lie out your ass and call it news.

The fact that the only people who had any claim against Fox for telling the Big Lie was the fucking voting machine company over lost profits tells you everything you need to know about our country

you motherfucker

Factorio uses all the same parts of my brain as my programming job, to the extent that I can’t play it during the week without risking exhaustion and burnout.

• breaking down a complex problem into simple ones
• organizing complexity
• tracking inputs and outputs
• managing edge cases
• error handling
• designing generalized, reusable components
• tracking side effects
• working under time pressure
• handling feedback from biters users

Seriously, if you like factorio and are looking for a career go into some flavor of IT/programming.

Lol my friend may have seeded it to your friend

Could go with animals from the avatar universe. Turtleduck, platypus bear, armadillo bear, lion turtle, etc

Hoły hell thank you, my 7900xtx was doing this and I hadn’t noticed

That sounds harder than just using query parameters. What are the benefits?

flatpaks are supposed to be cross-distro. Maintainers only have one package to look after instead of several

Edit: autocorrect got me

But what if you have multiple optional parameters?

They have pretty different use cases. Localstorage is for when you want persistence across page loads, not necessarily specific to any particular page but specific to a browser. An example would be storing user-selected light or dark mode.

Query parameters are specific to a page/URL and you get a lot of things for free when you use them:

• back/forward navigation
• bookmarking
• copy-paste to share
• page level caching
• access on both server and client

Query parameters are good for things like searches, filters, sorting, etc

Query parameters are junk? They have tons of legitimate uses, they’re one of the better places to keep state.

The part I’m calling out as untrue is the „magic 8 ball” comment, because it directly contradicts my own personal lived experience. Yes it’s a lying, noisy, plagiarism machine, but its accuracy for certain kinds of questions is better than a coin flip and the wrong answers can be useful as well.

Some recent examples

• I had it write an excel formula that I didn’t know how to write, but could sanity check and test.
• Worked through some simple, testable questions about setting up project references in a typescript project
• I want to implement URL previews in a web project but I didn’t know what the standard for that is called. Every web search I could think of related to „url previews” is full of SEO garbage I don’t care about, but ChatGPT immediately gave me the correct answer (Open Graph meta tags), easily verified by searching for that and reading the public documentation.
• Naming things is a famously hard problem in programming and LLMs are pretty good at „what’s another way to say” and „what’s it called when” type questions.

Just because you don’t have the problems that LLMs solve doesn’t mean that nobody else does. And also, dude, don’t scold people on the internet. The fediverse has a reputation and it’s not entirely a good one.

Well that's just blatantly false. They're extremely useful for the initial stage of research when you're not really sure where to begin or what to even look for. When you don't know what you should read or even what the correct terminology is surrounding your problem. They're "Language models", which mean they're halfway decent at working with language.

They're noisy, lying plaigarism machines that have created a whole pandora's box full of problems and are being shoved in many places where they don't belong. That doesn't make them useless in all circumstances.

Sure, but you at least have something to work with rather than whatever you know off the top of your head

Because it’s like a search box you can explain a problem to and get a bunch of words related to it without having to wade through blogspam, 10 year old Reddit posts, and snippy stackoverflow replies. You don’t have to post on discord and wait a day or two hoping someone will maybe come and help. Sure it is frequently wrong, but it’s often a good first step.

And no I’m not an AI bro at all, I frequently have coworkers dump AI slop in my inbox and ask me to take it seriously and I fucking hate it.
