Hindsight is 20:20, but for anyone else reading this, my method for server transfers like this is to have a physical offline backup from the start of the transfer process. (obviously would need more disks if you have a big array, but at this scale you should have enough experience to handle this)

Once I have the physical backup, I set it aside, unplugged, until the entire process is done and I confirm it all went well. Then I feel safe enough to use that drive again after the first week or so goes smoothly.

I’m really struggling to figure out what word they felt was so bad they needed to censor it for such an innocuous meme.

Edit: I just realized the word was ‘not’. That’s sort of makes sense. I guess it passes the shitpost test.

I mean they technically still can pour it down the drain. They just shouldn’t.

I mean, if you’re purely goal-oriented, this may very well be the best move, but meta-gaming is lame.

You could say any arrangement of words or letters about the inner workings of Windows, and I’d probably just take your word for it at this point.

Yeah, that tracks that people without mental health issues are about as interesting as a solid block of marble.

We just need another billion parameters bro. Surely if we just gave the LLMs another billion parameters it would solve the problem…

Well now I have a delicacy called the toast sandwich.

From experience, learning to kickbox actually did massively improved my confidence. I can genuinely recommend it.

I finally broke off my dependency from Windows last year. Still have the Mac for music, but not having to deal with a single Windows update or bug for six months has been such an improvement.

I’ve always said that with Linux, it’s a buggy, under-development experience, but the mistakes are honest. When one of the biggest companies in the world can’t stop from putting out one broken update after another, all for the sake of short-term profit, I had to just call it quits completely.

Uhhh. Okay. That’s not one on any of my bingo cards. Haven’t heard their name since I was using Windows 7 and wanted Rocket Dock. Hopefully it works out for them. I’m amazed their business model is still running all these years later.

This isn’t aimed at the person making the video because there’s about 1000 videos like it, but these videos I find are rarely a help. They walk you through enough to follow the instructions found on their official documentation and then the presenter is like, “and there you have it!”

There’s always so many things glossed over and no matter who you are 12 minutes will never be enough to introduce Docker. And yet you will find video after video of people doing 10-minute Docker tutorials.

There are just so many things ignored like how to setup reverse proxies, file locations/permissions, backups, and more that all get obfuscated by Docker and people never mention in these videos. Why do people keep making this style of introduction?

Anyone can follow the first three steps of a GitHub Readme. It’s the 10 steps after that a beginner would want to know about and that’s right where all these videos end.

Whether or not something is done right. I get that everyone thinks that their way is right, but nope. My way is the best and everyone should have to do it my way. No more options. Deal with it.

An option is tritium vials. They’re pretty cheap on eBay and last something like 7 or 8 years.

This boy holes

For someone so upset about a letter, you seem to be using it rather frequently. But I will respect your wishes to steer away from it.

I was really sad when CTR and Ratchet & Clank stayed on PlayStation. Those were some of the best reboots in ages and I don’t really want to have to keep my PS4 setup just to play those.

I’ve felt this way before, but I also wonder if I would have had kids in another life where the world wasn’t so fucked. I feel occasionally that I was robbed of parenthood by our current state of things.

Haha yeah. That’s where I recently learned about it myself. They’ve been on a hot streak of some really fantastic videos as of late.

Interesting. I’ve changed my hostname on a few machines throughout the past and never ran into this. Good to know if I ever run into this in the future.
