@possiblylinux127 @tabular , well, regarding a married couple I know, the wife was away taking care of her granddaughter for a bit, came back to her husband having sketchy people in their home while she was gone. The wife wanted the police to sweep the house for drugs and alleged these people probably brought drugs in their home. The police said there was nothing they can do. Lovely double standards.
Edit: Also, you could smell the pot off the people easily. They were definitely stoned.

@mr_MADAFAKA , I guess thier developers have some bad spaghetti code and can't debug it enough to work on anything else. And if you were to get it to work, you'd outclass their developers and thus could cheat.

@uranibaba @kernelle , well, yes and no. Yes, visiting most websites will absolutely not matter. Streaming however, does matter. Streaming from services is either not supported for some services and only supports lower resolutions. I am not sure which are supported or not currently, I remember Max not working on Linux, it might have worked with OS spoofing.

Edit: I dropped Max a while ago and haven't tried to use it for a long time after it initially didn't work while I had the service.

@Psyhackological
Work stations all run Ext4.
Main server: Ext4 on main partition, ZFS RAIDZ2 on the data.
Secondary server: BTRFS on main, BTRFS RAID1 on data.

If BTRFS could natively encrypt and had stable RAID6, I'd be using it probably on everything.

@RmDebArc_5 @clark , I know MS Office can open and save ODFs, I am not sure how well it does it. One would pressume that it being an open document format (hence the name) and it being a NATO standard, MS office would have proper compatibility, but I am rather reserved to confidently pressume this.

@ReversalHatchery , I completely agree. My ring 0 is sacred and I can't prove there isn't anything in it already, but I wouldn't knowingly shove third party stuff into my kernel. I like to keep my apps restricted from anything they don't need on my system in userland. However, millions upon millions of people installed Tencent's Vanguard to play League of Legends like it wasn't any big deal (it is). If people want an inner ring security module, I suppose that's a bit their choice. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@Wahots @mudle , I hold that same relative feeling, but people do own their computers and if they want to play League of Legends and let someone into the kernel, who am I to tell them no? I ran league in Lutris, so no chance of making that decision even if I wanted to.

@drwho I have a data server with data I hold dear and want to ensure losing drives (using RAID6) won't lead to me losing my data.

@thingsiplay @drwho , as soon as RAID5/6 is fully ready (and I am aware it looks like it'll never be), I'll be switching over to it.

@independantiste @TimeSquirrel , I could be wrong, but Windows NTFS is also incredibly terrible at reading/writing large numbers of small files. Windows explorer can now be opened in different processes, at least that's some improvement.

Edit: There's a reason why game developers create an archive of the files for the game rather than reading them from the FS itself.
