I had to use various AIs to create an SOP for one of my courses this year. It was so much more exhausting than just writing one because there’s so much you can’t trust in it. Almost every section had a very specific reference that I needed to check to be sure it wasn’t hallucinating.

Luckily I was supposed to pick one as my favorite, so I chose the one with the fewest specific references, deleted the few it had and generalized them instead.

Less options and it expects user input, so when you update and there’s a changelog or warning, it shows it to you and you can read it. It doesn’t continue because it thinks you’re there reading it. The options and output are subject to change, so you don’t want it in a script. Apt-get will always have the same options and expected output for automation purposes.

Well, music is kind of a team sport, I’d be pissed if one of the percussionists could never hit the damn triangle at the right time.

Of which no one would know about had they been practicing proper opsec. Point signal.

I’m sometimes disappointed that I live in blue NM. There’s no politician I can hassle, and Stansbury is even arranging protests, so who am I supposed to yell at when she’s there in the crowd?

Throwing shit at a wall and walking away isn’t that big of a flex.

My favorite is how 15th St just boings off of Colfax (15th ave)

Is it, though? 8 years is 8 years.

I might say it’s complicated because all the other presidents finished their presidencies. Trump has three more years, In theory.

I often work in several excels at once, I almost cry every time I have to undo something in a worksheet I haven’t made changes to in a while

2. My point is that you can’t just tell someone who experiences the world differently, which is pretty much a hallmark of autism, to experience the world as someone else would. It takes a lot of understanding of other people to learn this skill in the first place, and if your kid is lacking this skill, saying “jeez kid, do this thing you’re not doing” isn’t going to magically remedy the situation.

Blocky artifacts are the result of poor bitrates. In streaming services it’s due to over compressing the stream, which is why you see it when part of a scene is still or during dark scenes. It’s due to the service cheaping out and sending UHD video at 720p bitrates.

You’re talking about a boycott. A strike is people refusing to work

I’ve done that click and drag many times. Nothing worse than accidentally dragging a folder designated with pseudo random numbers into another pseudo random numbered folder, and not knowing if you actually dragged it into a folder, or missed and did nothing

The only town I saw in that area in my 5 second search is Jordan, with a population of 357 356.

Edit: corrected population, my bad

This seems to only be true in conservative States.

I try keep my data drives and boot drives separate on my servers, I make sure I can rebuild the server relatively easily so no matter what happens I can get back up and running. In my research on LVMs I wasn’t seeing anything saying you could just move the drives to a new setup, that you had to export and import first. In the case of a suddenly dead boot drive, I wouldn’t be able to do that. I did see some steps for backing up an LVMs metadata and recovering from that, so I might be sure I do that at some point, but another user said that modern distros should be able to scan for LVMs without issue, which is not what I found in my quick test in my setup. So I’ll be checking that out in a more modern setup to double check.

From what I was reading, recovering from corrupted metadata is not something I want to do. I’d rather not use LVM if that’s what’s required if I can’t just move the drives to a new server, as nice as it would be to resize filesystems on a whim.

I did not find just moving the drives to work. There were some other issues that I came across that might have a part to play in it, I made the lvm and filesystem on an RPI5 running OMV and moved it to a rock3c running OMV from an armbian install. Turns out there’s a pagefile size mismatch between the two that prevented mounting the btrfs filesystem. But I still wasn’t able to get the rock3c to recognize the VG or that there were new PVs attached without exporting first. So perhaps the armbian install isn’t modern enough to automatically recognize it.

I didn’t expect learning new things about btrfs to be the outcome of this little experiment, but I guess that’s just how things work.

That’s kind of what I figured, my biggest concern at this point would be how difficult it is to move the lvm volume to a different device. It seems pretty straightforward if you have a working setup, but from what I’m seeing in my research is silence if your device (server, etc.) dies and you need to move those volumes to another. I’m finding guides on either recovering from corruption or lost metadata, or transferring from one working device to another. Nothing I can find about importing a fully functional lvm to a new device if it hasn’t been exported.

I’ll be able to do that later today, so I guess I’ll see what happens if I do. Better to try it out now when it isn’t critical.

I try to keep lossless on my server for the fact that new algorithms come out all the time. I don’t want to be stuck with a 160k mp3 when a better algorithm comes out or if I need to stream just a little lower than that. I’d rather have lossless quality that can be converted at any time to whatever I need, even though I mostly have it set to 160k for listening if I’m streaming away from home. My work internet and cell service can get really terrible, and being able to buffer 10 songs when I get a few minutes of service is a godsend while not getting stuck with low quality, several times converted files, or keeping multiple bitrate versions of the same song.

I think if you’re going to quote something you need to make an effort to make sure it’s correct. It’s OK to make a mistake, but we’re in a time where everything is being used to weaponize your emotions and manufacture outrage. It’d be more than a full time job to tell people to correct their quotes, I don’t think an explanation is necessary.
