It has most of the major features of BTRFS + tiered storage + per file/directory redundancy + native encryption support. It also seems to be architectured in a way that avoids the write-hole issue for RAID 5/6 that BTRFS has and therefore once that feature is added, it won’t be as likely to eat your data. It also had a better system for handling different sized drives.

Overall, it seems like a redesigned BTRFS with the experience of bcache development and benefit of hindsight avoiding some of the early pitfalls that BTRFS had. It already seems like the ideal filesystem that does it all for single systems. Especially if Kent gets the backing he needs to fill out the rest of the roadmap, I really don’t see what other filesystems have to offer that are worth losing the other benefits.

Maybe I’m wrong and it will stall or something, but it has been almost a decade already and there have been steady improvements throughout. I plan to switch to it as soon as I can get it working. It is still a bit rough getting a proper multi-drive encrypted system booting since it is still early days of mainline support and disros don’t have very good support for it yet.

Bcachefs, it’s the filesystem of the future now.

Try touch mode

As a general rule, the latest one. As much as it can be hard to see, life on average has been improving. Why would I want to go back in time where medicine was worse? Or we were covering everything with asbestos, or whatever was going on at that time. The only metric that I can think of that has been getting continually worse is the climate situation. Humans are pretty awesome though and I expect that we will be able to mitigate the worst parts for us. Note: That doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be actively trying to stop it.

IMO generally be a positive about Linux rather than negative about Windows. Asking about what systems they support is reasonable though. Just know that you may be passing up jobs if this is your hill to die on.

You don’t have to only support one side at the exclusion of the other, even when they are fighting. In this case Israel has been provoked into destroying the terrorist organization Hamas. Since not everyone in Gaza is Hamas and Hamas has been hijacking the aid trucks along with the simple logistical issues of distribution, they are now trying direct support via airdrops which are much harder for Hamas to intercept or just be overrun in general. I’ve also seen speculation that they are using it to for training as well.

No, but you may be able to get it to work. https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/bzgrcd/is_call_screening_available_in_los/

Degoogled Pixel 4a that I bought to replace my broken Pixel 4a. I’m gonna use this thing until it dies and then maybe buy another one. I’m not sure when another phone this hold-able, reasonably powerful enough, and good LineageOS support will get released.

I actually switched back to the official app from Neo. Neo has been really good because it also supports mirrors. I don’t know about Droidify.

I think that they are working to bring up all of it, but it is taking quite a while. The nearby share feature seems the be specifically for people who live in places with either poor internet or under oppressive regimes. With it, all you need is one person to get a copy of a communication app like Briar, and then they can immediately share it out to lots of people directly through F-Droid. F-Droid isn’t there just to be a FOSS app store, but it also seems to specifically serve as a source of apps for people who can’t get these apps safely. This also explains the high focus on legacy support.

Maybe you shouldn’t be hitting people… /s

The Donbass portion of the Russo-Ukrainian war had a fewer belligerents, a lot lower population density, and was fought between conventional combatants. It was also over 6 years.

The Israel-Hamas war has more belligerents, over 50x population density, is fought between a conventional army and an insurgency who has specifically said that safety of the population isn’t their problem, and is being run a lot faster than 6 years. Reported death rates have already slowed down a lot.

Also according to the UN: https://press.un.org/en/2022/sc14904.doc.htm 90% of war time casualties are civilians. The estimated 13k civilians killed in Gaza are weighed against an estimated 7k Hamas killed. That gives about a 2:1 ratio, much better than the global average.

War is always disgusting.

Why have 3 mental health and no monies, when I can have no mental health and 3 monies!? taps head

I’ve learned a lot more over time, especially recently. I never had a eureka moment though. Everyone deserves to live in peace and with basic human rights. I’ll always advocate for that. Specifically this conflict though is between a Democratic state who has done fucked up shit and a genocidal fundmentalist terrorist group. There is still a clearly much less bad side here.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon

I’m definitely skeptical of anything “moderate” that they claim to now operate on. Their actions, especially on October 7th illustrated what their actual ideology is. They even still have foreign workers who are entirely uninvolved hostage.

Have you looked into Solus at all? They are rolling and build with a focus on desktop usage.

Nextcloud should be good for that. There are a bunch of services which offer a few GB for free, which should be enough for your needs.
