Last year, unraid, identical SSDs. I changed so many sata and power cables, so many settings.

My anecdotal experience with btrfs is that it constantly broke in raid 1, no problems with any other filesystems on the exact same hardware and setup. YMMV

I love the natural direction for my track pad and phone, but I’ll die before I use it on my mouse. I have to use a 3rd party app to make my mouse behave the way I want and still use a track pad

This state needs to get it’s shit together. I can’t stand the regressive laws.

Huh… I’ve used Guard and TDD to do this in Ruby, works great. Yes you’re testing the happy path, but it is easy to define negative tests as well.

Interesting, I wonder if a migration to cloudflare is what’s going on. Still, its a bit odd not to see any posts about it. Thanks for the digging!

Keep in mind SD cards are not generally as durable as SSDs or HDDs, so rpi servers are doable but you should make sure to back it up. Some folks connect SSDs and make the sd card read-only for booting. I haven’t done this myself as I prefer towers.

Also be sure to not let your pi lose power, this can corrupt the sd card.

Bad bot, this summary doesn’t make sense.

Ugh, what a mess. Naomi is an icon to the maker community, this is a big loss. Her work with creality was great.

I appreciate the activity, personally, though everything being political gets very tiring for me. The fediverse should be diverse and I believe things will get better with time. It would be premature to defederate. It’s ok to have world views challenged, especially when the discourse is constructive and coming from a desire to reach and foster understanding. I’m hopeful we’ll see that come true over time.

Jumping to the next comment is exactly what I’d love to see next, glad to hear it is coming :)

My heart goes out to those who have lost.

The codebase I’m working on would give chatGpt an aneurysm. I’m actually a ghost.

That’s along the lines that I was thinking. It’s especially unhelpful if it is being used to feed or help feed animals.

Not exactly something I would recommend for the average diyer, interesting nonetheless.

I work with a lot of crappy websites and embedded systems. I can’t always carry a laptop, so a mobile device fits my use case very well. I also use my large screen to do split screen with two apps open at once, it makes taking notes and observations from videos and documentation a breeze.

I respect your opinion, but for me is it hardly a gimmick. I don’t need a tablet in my bag to view websites that aren’t compatible with mobile layouts, I have a tablet in my pocket whenever I want. Sure it’s not for everyone, just like iPhones vs Android, but the form factor of foldables absolutely solves the needs of some customers and I’m grateful there’s a line of products out there that fits my needs.

It took me a week or so to get used to the form factor but since then I can’t imagine going back to a slab. Different strokes for different folks.

We’re already in the 5th generation for Samsung, far from the first wave!

That’s kind of the magic of the flip, it forces you to purposefully decide to open your phone, so for some folks thats a benefit! Being more present in everyday life is something I was focusing on when I was considering the flip for my next phone. I ended up with a fold for other reasons, but that was one of the best benefits I was considering.

I hated the idea until I bought a Fold4. I’m always careful with my electronics, even so, I’ve dropped it several times on accident and had zero issues. I can’t imagine going back to a slab phone, the flexibility of the extra screen real estate is something I use so often that it really would be a significant disruption to my everyday to go back to a slab.

Reliability is a reasonable concern, but the benefits far outweigh the potential risks for me. If you’re breaking phones all the time, they probably aren’t a good fit for you. I don’t bring my phone to beach so maybe I’m more careful than the average user - regardless, I guess that’s why I have a smartwatch.
