Nope. I don’t talk about myself like that.

  • Heh… I had a fun one yesterday (yes yesterday).

    During the week they had a feature request to disable the “duplicate” warning on certain pages for entries that are invalid. We already do it on some pages simply for testing reasons (000000000 is always invalid but still accepted as dummy/test data)…

    Yesterday: “We missed this duplicate because we instructed the user to put in the specifically invalid entry. We’re out a few hundred dollars now. Can we bill you for that?”

    All I could do was copy and paste from the old email that it was literally their own request. Basically a nice “Pound sand”.

    But to have the gall to request a feature change… Then to turn around and threaten to bill us for your dumb decision? Get the fuck outta here.

    You’d have an argument… if OpenSUSE was “average”. While it’s somewhat popular, it’s not nearly representative of “average” linux.

    I’ve never met a SUSE user publicly. I’ve met Debian and Arch users.

    Just because you found one modern distro that doesn’t do something doesn’t mean that it’s a common problem. But even then, you’re coloring your argument quite silly here. The “average” user has no fucking clue what a NAS is, and wouldn’t care to “mount” anything as if they had a NAS for some reason they’d likely only ever use it the web GUI for anything they did.

    The “average” is really dumb comparatively to most linux power users…

    This specific issue you’ve contrived… wouldn’t ever come up for an “average” user.

    No, but you’ve stated something that’s factually not true. And with all the shit that’s streamed on the internet, this is nothing near “weird”.

    Sorry that you don’t know what you’re talking about.

    over 3 hours and 20 minutes now by the way… Explorer.exe hasn’t restarted. What you claim has NEVER been the behavior.

    Edit: I’m killing the stream. It’s been over 4:20… I think the point is proven. Still no explorer.exe. Because when you kill the process, it does not restart.

    No. It’s not. I spun up a vm and killed explorer.exe. How long should I be waiting? Cause I"m several minutes in and explorer hasn’t restarted itself yet. Also tested it on my VR computer (only non-linux physical machine in the house).

    Here I’ll even stream it for you. <removed>. I kill the process at basically 16:00(MST) it’s been 5 minutes now and the stream is going.

    Edit: Over 19 minutes now… Still waiting for it to restart…

    Edit2: Over an hour now… Still waiting for it to automatically restart. BTW the machine is windows 11. Latest patch/update.

    Edit3: pulling the stream. Ran it for over 4 hours. The point is proven. It doesn’t restart itself.

    A couple months ago my sister bricked her mac somehow… it wouldn’t boot past the stupid white screen with a ? on it.

    Had to edit random shit on the built in installer to get it to talk to apple correctly and pull the correct OS image to fix itself. It was a full OS install/recovery.

    Easy enough because I understand linux/unix and underneath that’s all it is… but mac users are just stupidly lost… And to get to some of those tools, because they’re so buried underneath the “MAC experience”… it’s a pain in the ass too.

    I can’t be bothered to remember what version it was… I hate touching macs. I only did that one cause it was my sister.



  • Does no one care about power consumption?

    It takes several SSDs to make up the capacity difference between an HDD.

    I run 62 16TB HDDs. To make up the same capacity in SSDs I need 2-4x the bays. I don’t know of any cheap systems that can hold ~250 bays of ssds.

    So an SSD that may only take 1-3w all day… 2-4x that is already equal to the HDD regardless. You’re not going to make any ROI metric here.
