BTRFS and moving /home to subvolume, in need of a sanity check.

So I installed Debian 12 with btrfs and apparently it only uses a single subvolume rootfs. I would like to have my /home in a separate subvolume (and possibly /var too I guess) and with a flat subvolume structure. I started figuring out on how to do it and I feel like I’m not entirely sure yet so I need a sanity check....

rm -rf /home/*

You need the directory for the mount point.

If you punch someone on the nose, you can’t expect sympathy when they punch back. This isn’t going to produce the result Hamas was going for.

They’re not unemployed or underemployed by any common definition of those words. If California wants to support striking workers, great, but it shouldn’t be under these programs.

And realistically there’s no reason why this isn’t a Union problem to solve instead of a government one. Dues are paid for a reason.

If one hosts a Lemmy instance, do they need to also host, and/or link to the source code even if they have made no changes to it?

Lemmy is licensed under the AGPLv3. I don’t want to rely solely on my own legal interpretation of the license, so I’m wondering if anyone has any explicit knowledge on the matter....

TerryMathews ,

I’ll be the heretic here, but so far as I know you are only required to make source available when you distribute binaries. And for that matter, it doesn’t even have to be online just available upon request unless you’re using a derivative GPL that added online access as a clause.

I highly doubt the users of a web interface are required to be given access to source. There are multiple GPL-licensed web servers (I am well aware Apache is not btw) and I’ve never seen one embed a code link on every page.

Tl;Dr: Lemmy does it, but I believe it’s not required. Modify away if you so choose.

yes the whole nation is in jeopardy because some warmongers arent getting their promotions

The whole nation is in jeopardy because these leadership positions are being held open until Trump is reelected in a rework of the Merrick Garland SC nomination. Which should be terrifying. Jan 6 failed in part because some of the military top brass (Miley) put oath before Trump.

Read up on Project 2025 if you haven’t. These “unconnected events” are anything but. It’s a strategy.

Unless you make it a point to procure an LTSC version, which Microsoft won’t even sell to you unless you have a site license.

LTSC is the only version of Windows that behaves like it’s still your computer, and I have uptime measured in months on a computer who serves Plex all day long.

So, I am an engineer/scientist. Products that I have developed/contributed to development are used by billions of people. Most likely you, the reader of this comment are using it right now, because some of the products I worked on are telecom products, that are widely used to transfer information.

You’re an employee, actors are (generally) independent contractors so the comparison breaks down. Most people who don’t understand the situation have been making this comparison.

The closer analogy for you would be if you, as an independent engineer, created a library that Oracle licensed instead of bought. Something they are bundling into their latest database server.

Should you, as a developer, take less per unit because Oracle starts selling through a new channel? Say the Windows app store instead of through their website directly?

I mean, it’s ok if you feel like that’s ok but I don’t think most people would agree with you when they really understand what’s going on.

The unions gave the studios a sweetheart deal in the infancy of streaming so that it wouldn’t smother in the crib. Now that it’s profitable, don’t the artists and writers deserve the same level of compensation for streaming as they get through other channels? Not more, just the same.

TerryMathews ,

I mean this in the least condescending way possible, but you don’t understand how American politics works.

The absolute best scenario for Democrats is for the Republicans to split their ticket between Trump and DeSantis - or anyone else, but there doesn’t seem to be anyone else thus far with his pull on the national stage.

It’ll be Clinton-Bush-Perot but in reverse.

TerryMathews ,

Yes. Trump has literally said he won’t adhere to the results of the primary and will run regardless.

TerryMathews ,

This is definitely hitting the nail on the head. Until the technology trickles down into the lower-end models, it’s not anywhere near as much a cost savings when you have to buy way up in trim level to get electric as an option.

It’s also worth noting that electric economy is notably worse in cold climates - your internal combustion car generates heat for ~free, the electric heater in your Tesla does draw a fair bit of current.

TerryMathews ,

Bad headline. Those that are upset with Florida treating slavery like it was a JVS are not the ones who are in the wrong.

TerryMathews ,

If Congress lacks the authority to regulate the Supreme Court, then certainly they also lack the authority to fund the Supreme Court…

TerryMathews ,

You got downvoted to hell, but you’re absolutely right. The fact that FDIC exists should be evidence enough to anyone with a functional brain that depositors in a bank are creditors and do not retain ownership of their literal deposit.

TerryMathews ,

So first off, I don’t like the headline. All US subs are nuclear, but this feels like burying the story: parking an SSBN at South Korea is a very specific message. It carries 20 Trident II missiles, each capable of carry 8 475kt warheads (but likely only armed with 4 due to treaty limitations).

38 Megatons of independently targetable nuclear destruction.

That said, the story also talks about how this will drive KJU from the table - as if he was ever there in the first place. Given the state of their current activities, I don’t think reminding him that he’s fucking around with a country that worked out nuclear delivery via ICBM half a century ago is overly aggressive.

IMO, at some point, someone (and I’m not saying the US necessarily) is going to have to go in and depose the regime and integrate the population into modern society. North Korea is a bigger threat to world stability than Russia, and today that’s really saying something.

TerryMathews ,

How would you feel if you were a South Korean? Knowing that your brothers to the North want to kill or conquer you simply because they’re not happy with the half of the continent they chose because, ultimately, the US was a better development partner than Russia and China?

TerryMathews ,

At this point with Russia I’m more concerned with them causing an Ukrainian nuclear power plant to melt down.

TerryMathews ,

One could make the exact same argument against North Korea… Why is it that our ally should be sacrificed on the altar of global stability?

TerryMathews ,

Didn’t the plants all get safely shut down before the Russians got there? If so, they can’t cause a meltdown unless they actually try to start the reactors.

Are the shutdown? Yes. Safely? Definitely not. The type of reactor they are and the fuel they use, requires active cooling as it remains hot for years.

Zaporizhzhia is the plant in question, and it’s water supply is in jeopardy after the destruction of the Kakhovka dam.

With the plant not in active operation, it’s unlikely we’d see an incident on the level of Chernobyl but it’s far from safe.

TerryMathews ,

Windows 10 LTSC (for me) generally has uptime that is the equivalent of any Linux box. I’ve been using it to host Plex for several years - before hardware transcoding support in Linuxv was really up to snuff.

LTSC is what Windows should be. It’s a shame Microsoft doesn’t make it available (legally) to normal consumers.

TerryMathews ,

Honestly, don’t bother with a dGPU and get a 12th or 13th gen Intel Core chip with QSV. Intel quietly tuned it up to the point where it’s faster than nVidia’s NVENC engine even in the latest gen plus you don’t have mess around with the uncap streams hack and you’re transcoding through system RAM not dGPU RAM, so far less likely that your stream limit will be artificially constrained by memory limitations.

To answer the question you asked though, the nVidia NVENC is the best solution on a dGPU. It’s performance is largely the same across the same board generation, with one exception in the GTX 10X0 series. The absolute cheapest card you can lay your hands on that has an NVENC engine is the 1050TI.

The caveat is the 1070 and 1080 have two NVENC engines. It will double max number of streams in theory, however in reality you’re memory bound on those cards and it’s more like a 33% bump.

TerryMathews ,

Yes.

And to some of the child replies, I think there’s a question of scale that often gets overlooked. In all these discussions, there seems to be two different groups commingling: ones who just need 1-2 simultaneous streams, and ones who are doing true whole-house-plus systems.

I’m serving subtitles-enabled streams to (mostly) Roku clients - who need the server to burn in the subtitle track for some insane reason. It’s nothing for my Plexbox to be serving 6 simultaneous streams. A 4790K would definitely not cut it for me.

TerryMathews OP ,

I did. I could never get ansible to work when I was setting up the same machine. If you know how to set the inventory file up for that, I’m all ears.

TerryMathews OP ,

The furthest I got last night, that was where I got stuck as well.
