I can't come up with what role this machine might have — a workstation? Why so much storage then? 30 Tb seems too much for there to be any redundancy, I'd rather go for redundancy at the cost of having less space. And if it's just a volume for throwaway stuff (and not rare digitised music does belong to this category), why bother with zfs at all?
If it's a file server of some sort, why bother having a GUI — the less stuff you have installed, smaller the attack surface to worry about 🤷

@newt
Having a GUI on a machine with a 30 Tb ZFS volume is indeed pretty homosexual 😏

When I realised that 9 out of 10 times I can't log into my GMail account because I refuse to give them a phone number I did it one final time and deleted it.
Funny enough, in order for me to retrieve all the data from that account they still insisted on providing a phone number, but I didn't have to give them one in order to delete it 🤦

A very very ugly chain of pipes, awk, sed, and xargs just saved me from hours of tedious and unexpected clicking in a stupid web-interface.

Learn some basic #shell scripting when you're young, it will help keeping you sane.

I think in Canada they send you one with a naked molerat if you don't pay: dontgetsextorted.ca/images/mol
At least they had a campaign like that a few years ago 😆

If you have some old CDs sitting around consider ripping them before disc rot makes them unusable. Fortunately you can always rip partially degraded disks using whipper. I've used it to make perfect rips of very old discs, stuff dating back 30 years which I had used and abused as a teenager. It takes some time to do its thing but it's worth the effort:

> I didn’t get the movie reference
I don't quite get it myself, is this a line from Die Hard or something? 🤔

@newt
Some of this could've been done outside the FPS thing, and I think that the director did take those hints when he was making his next movie — the one with Bob Odenkirk, and that was a good and successful one!
This one? No — it feels rushed! It even has high-profile Russian actors, so I don't think it was solely due to lack of funding — the concept was just rushed with no obvious competition. Then again — it wasn't a bad movie, did exceed my expectations.

@newt
Oh, man, come on, it's not about the main character! There was so much to explore given proper funding — side characters, they could've given his "wife" a proper arc that would make you literally crave her (which would've still been fake), all of the supporting cast could've been given their own arcs — but the only one we see that has been worked on is his sidekick, and I agree with those reviews: this just wasn't enough!

@newt
I've always assumed this movie to be overrated, then I've read actual reviews and those weren't so good — then I had to see it myself… And I have to admit that it's neither bad nor THAT good: it's an interesting concept that was carried out in a way that it's not boring to watch — nothing more, nothing less…
And yeah, some scenes do look spectacular! AFAIK the director's background is just that scene — music videos.

@kaia
I've seen this before. Some projects do this in good faith even…
But yes, at some point people have to realise that neither CIA, nor KGB is hosting their 8 Gb large daily Android ROM builds for free 😏

@admitsWrongIfProven
I'm scared to think what that might even mean… 🤔
Being Russian, I grew up around people who find prison stuff acceptable, but to me, somehow, regular violence is more acceptable than sexualised one…
So yeah… being gay-raped for screaming at disabled people — that's nasty! On the other hand, selling their family and loved ones for organs…

Oh noes, I should've never posted that 😱
