Weren’t most of the “stars” in this movie only there because someone involved called in favors?

CitizenKong ,

Yep, and it was actually made over a long time, whenever the actors were between projects and a few days of shooting playing something different sounded nice. Also, each famous actor was used to goad the next. (Specifically, the Hugh Jackman-Kate Winslet segment which was shot first.) And the segments themselves were also directed by stars like Bob Odenkirk or Elizabeth Banks.

I care a lot about filesystems.

BTRFS in FS-managed RAID configuration for automatic self-healing and snapshots for instant automated backups (though I keep a traditional backup too for protection against bugs and user error).

Storage is cheap compared to how much I value my data. BTRFS has very good support on Linux, integration with some backup tools, and I really want to use a FS that has full data checksums to make sure the data stays correct at rest. I like that I don’t have to use equal sized drives and can use whatever I have available, though I would appreciate a better read distribution model rather than the current where it just chooses a random drive to read from when multiple copies are available.

Disadvantages include difficulty accessing from Windows in my experience, less than stellar performance on HDDs, not very space efficient for small files systems because of the bulky metadata, and some uncommon RAID types don’t work correctly and will eat your data. I also don’t recommend it for use over USB because many such devices don’t correctly implement sync, and this is very important to stay on the correct transaction number and prevent file system inconsistencies. If I had to boot from USB, I wouldn’t pick BTRFS.

I don’t think exFAT or FAT32 offer POSIX permissions. I’m not sure if you could have a root file system there.

Damn bro, I didn’t think I was gonna cum in /linux

_thebrain_ ,

Have you seen/tried github.com/maharmstone/btrfs ?

I have heard it is decent but have never had a need to try it.

henfredemars ,

Yes I have and it caused file system corruption the two times I tried it. Something wasn’t quite right.

_thebrain_ ,

Good to know. I know a couple of people in the steam deck world who dual boot windows and steamos and have their games on a btrfs partition that use it so they don’t need games installed twice … I have no desire to do this so I have never tried.

henfredemars ,

It’s possible I was just unlucky, but data corruption makes it harder for me to sleep at night. I choose to be a little more conservative and consider that tool beta quality.

Telorand ,

So, genuine question: why btrfs instead of zfs? Sounds like your use case would fit the latter.

Kualk ,

BTRFS is zero effort on root, because it is included in kernel. ZFS on root is extra effort at least on Arch, due to licensing restrictions.

marty_relaxes ,

Additionally, at least for my use-case btrfs benefits me since it is less picky about drive sizes being the same and duplicating everything correctly - letting you essentially just throw additional storage at it as you acquire it.

henfredemars ,

Does ZFS handle data duplication on unequal sized volumes or heterogeneous pools? I don’t believe so, and BTRFS was a first class installer option.

This kind of mismanagement and just operating off sheer luck kind of explains why I have never gotten a package from them that WASN’T damaged.

The other night my wife suggested we watch this and I'd vaguely heard of it, but not its reputation, so we did watch it since an anthology would be fun! We made it maybe 40% through until I realized it was so bad that I had to stop. They just don't know when a joke stops being funny, and most of the skits are barely funny to begin with.

If they cut most of those skits down by probably half, the movie would be awkwardly short, but it would at least flow better, and you'd be able to move onto something else if you weren't liking the current skit much, but as it is, it's a mediocre slog that has a bafflingly star studded cast.

It's just far too juvenile and long in the tooth, and I have nothing against juvenile humor, but man, I just couldn't get much out of it.

Isn’t it illegal to use company funds for personal entertainment?

teawrecks , to linux in What file systems are you using on your devices and why?

Not only is there btrfs support for Windows, but since windows and linux root structures don’t conflict, someone got both arch and windows booting from the same partition. Is it a good idea? Hell no. But can it be done? Apparently yes.

This movie is such a trip. I unironically love the first half of the skits, up to and including the superhero dating.

All I remember is the Terence Howard skit and how it felt like a cheap knock off (but still chuckle worthy) of a Chapelle or Key and Peele sketch.

Oh yeah, that one is great one too! Definitely the highlight of the weaker second-half in my opinion.

Despite not originally being a fan of Sailor Moon, I’ve come around to it slowly after constantly having it on as my sis was watching it. It’s actually very very good and well done. The differences in translation are also always a funny aspect.

  • Btrfs on my laptop with openSUSE, mainly because it’s default, but also for its snapshot capabilities.
  • Whatever file system my default Raspberry Pi installation uses (probably Ext4).
  • NTFS on my main computer With Windows 10, because… well… I don’t really have any other choice, although I know there’s some kind of 3rd party Btrfs driver for Windows as well and you can ever have boot partition formatted as Btrfs, but I think it’s still experimental.
