BenHM3 , to til in TIL that in 1983, a diving chamber containing four men was accidentally depressurized. This caused the blood of three divers inside to boil instantly, while the fourth diver was forced through a 60...

Nice share, what a bastard of a vessel that was. Also sounds like, in addition to some fucked designs and procedures, there were a lot of powerful groups attempting to cover for it. Petromoney is never clean.

Windows XP is great and I’ll never upgrade my blood pressure machine from it.

Isn’t that the FS that constantly needs to be defragged? Do people still do that?

    so.. you do do that..

    angstylittlecatboy ,

    Not manually. Windows does it automatically if you have an HDD and defragging an SSD is bad

    stephen01king ,

    There are FS that don’t need defragmenting?

    magic_lobster_party ,

    Supposedly the ext file systems commonly used in Linux don’t need defrag.

    Kraiden ,

    Pretty sure that was FAT. Whatever the case, you don't need to defeag modern windows anymore

    I’ve heard that ReFS is supposedly replacing NTFS, on Windows.

    Happy_Harry ,

    ReFS still is not supported for use as a boot (C:) drive, but it’s used extensively in enterprise environments for VHD storage and as a backup target.

    Snapshotting and merging is much faster because of “Fast Cloning.” It also has something called “integrity streams” which can be used to tell if data has been corrupted.

    I don’t understand this all at a deep level, but it seems promising.

    Just a lucky person I guess!

    Ocelot , to til in TIL of Dead Internet Theory that asserts the Internet now consists almost entirely of bot activity and automatically generated content

    Considering the average person isn’t nearly as vocal/polarized/opinionated as the average person on reddit or twitter it is definitely reasonable if this is actually true.

    No disrespect to those who do, including the kbin dev. And the friendica dev! And who could forget Nextcloud.

    chrisrauh , to technology in 1% rule: 1% of users actively create new content, while the other 99% only lurk.
    @chrisrauh@lemmy.studio avatar

    The question seems to imply that this ratio is problematic, but it is in fact fine.

    There this sense now that “being a creator” has intrinsic value, but this value is an artifact of platforms that exploit its users creations. So much so that we now have an immense amount of low quality fast food grade, in fact toxic, content. Content pollution.

    So, whatever the ratio is. If you want to post post, if you want to comment comment, if you want to lurk lurk.

    As long as we are all enjoying the experience, who cares?

    oSillyScope ,

    I will post as I find communities that align with my interests. I comment where I feel I have something to say. I will lurk elsewhere.

    I posted links on Reddit like 5-10 years ago… Then the power mods showed up, nuked my links for some obscure rule violation, then allowed someone else reposted them minutes later.

    I gave up.

    Same. I have posted here twice with better luck. Reddit has some weird posting rules. Some I get. Some I think are crap. Now I usually just comment.
