Not a book, but it’s thematically similar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrX_u2no6OA

Ignore the Amazon Prime garbage. It was a Mondo Media production, which was the main reason I ended up watching it.

Note: BTRFS defrag will result in a different copy at the end of the day. If you’re using snapshots this will lead to increased utilization.

Looks like Cyberpunk 2077

I’m going to guess it’s because of some linux native things. I remember source engine games used to have issues with non-ext4 filesystems (or maybe it was just workshop stuff as I still have left 4 dead 2 on a separate disk), but I’m pretty sure that’s been fixed.

Been running BTRFS and XFS partitions for years, so it’s certainly a rare issue.

There’s still valid concern about this being a foot in the door tactic. Once an OS complies with this request what will the next one be? Why should this even be allowed?

Either way though, the reddit citation is a bit unnerving.

Out of curiosity, how?

< urls.txt while read -r url; ...

Is a syntax error.

while read -r url < urls.txt; ...

Result in an infinite loop.

You can also avoid cat since you aren’t actually concatenating files (depending on file size this can be much faster):

while read -r url; do echo "download $url"; done < urls.txt

Tmux was purpose built for terminal multiplexing. You can assign session names for organizing and manipulating multiple instances. Send keys to and read output from detached sessions. It’s easy to script.

I’d recommend tmux for that particular use. Screen has a lot of extras that are interesting but don’t really follow the GNU mentality of “do one thing and do it well.”
