Linux will run on a potato, and it doesn’t even have to have hardware memory management.

Parenting done right.

Turns out that you have to explicitly mount btrfs with the option compress=zstd (or compress=lzo as you prefer) to get any compression done, and I was not doing that. Also, to apply compression to existing data, you have to defragment with compression enabled. Alternatively, you can create a subvolume and set the compression property.

This explains it quite well.

As an outsider watching moronic CEOs discarding people like trash, it seems pretty clear who should be fired first and only.

Hello Debian my old friend…

Challenge accepted.

I’m not a racing game person but I love this one. You can just run around doing stupid stuff. I find that very liberating.

Beautiful game, love it.

I own every game they launched. This one has been on my wishlist for a while.

Otherwise, we’ll all wake up to a world where robots run the country, without a clue what empathy is.

I laughed out loud. Brilliant.

I’ll be away for a while, but I’ll get some stats, because now I’m also curious.

My main goals are efficient space usage and portability, so I’ve never measured anything. I’ll get some stats for you.

This is how I do it. I put my Steam directory in an external BTRFS drive with compression turned on. Works great, and allows me to take my library between computers.

Here are the test results: You’re a horrible person. That’s what it says. A horrible person. We weren’t even testing for that.

Yes, please.

Suzanne Vega, the author, often sings it acapella. If it has a beat, it’s not the original.

I’ll go with Common People, the Will Shatner version.

I love the original, and I love The Presidents, so I have love for both versions.

Sorry, what? That’s the original.

I’m old enough to have seen VHS come and go, and I do this. What financial sense does it make to keep steady rent on a service you don’t need all the time?
