@SuricrasiaOnline Just allocate a buffer as large as your address space, done!

@ajroach42 You may want the ability to remove a video, say for ads for events that have already happened or other reasons. Maybe rsyncing from a central source? (Or just make sure your RSS sync removes things no longer in a feed, but then you'd need the ability to curate the feed if you don't want to, say, delete the video from Peertube.)

@KitRedgrave I, uh, regret to remind you of exactly how long ago 10 years was.

@ajroach42 "RAID-0 ready out of the box" It's not even pretending!

I missed out on #introductions last time, so:I'm a person. I think people and communities and subcultures are pretty interesting. Sometimes I try to archive these things, sometimes I just idly find them fascinating.I appreciate things that are {open source, secure, well-designed}, most of the people I've met here, and @srn in particular.I like to think I'm trustworthy and available. Feel free to reach out even if I don't know you.(A few thousand more words available via my profile.)

[meta: I've gone ahead and made my account locked, so I guess you'll have to wait for me to approve your follow request if you want to follow me. If you're an actual person, I'll probably approve it, I just don't want to have to keep evicting bots ex post facto.]

@ajroach42 Sounds like you could get 20 TB of swap out of the deal if you want absolutely no performance to speak of.

@ajroach42 chkdsk will *probably* be faster than that, but `ntfsfix` might get you out of a jam faster? (And if you're certain the data is all fine but it just has the dirty flag set, `ntfsfix -d /dev/blah` will get you set up as fast as you can type.)

@ajroach42 Whoops. Yeah, if you know there's corruption then it's hard to beat the official tools. (Except by "image the whole drive, then try the official tools", but for a 20TB drive that's a long process and maybe runs into free space problems.)

@ajroach42 I think Kobo kicks back a percentage of book sales from their readers that you sell, though I don't know how to set that up as a bookstore, or what the requirements might be: https://www.indiebound.org/ebooks references it, at least.(I enjoy my Kobo device, it's nicely hackable if I wanted to do that, and Obok DeDRM for Calibre does what it says on the tin. A screen reader/audio book mode would be nice, but they're not common since that lawsuit.)

@ajroach42 On that note, are y'all on Bookshop? I don't buy physical books online all that often, but it would be nice to have a percentage of those sales go to people I know, at least.

@ajroach42 Fair enough. But you'd be an interesting candidate, and seem to care strongly about your local area and constituents.

@djsundog Somehow every time I have this flinching reaction like I should look away without proper goggles, never mind the fact that it's impossible for my screen to get bright enough to cause vision damage.

@Lady It actually has a surprisingly small set of rdepends within Ubuntu. Some important packages, like Postgres, but mostly desktop software besides Postgres, Icecast, and Asterisk, and it's hard to say the latter have all too many users. There's Ruby's Nokogiri, but given the near-weekly security updates to that, I might almost prefer someone Rewrite it in Rust (or literally anything).

@awilfox Sorry, the background on not being as perturbed by those is that desktop software tends to have different attack surface and needs than server software. But you're right of course that they're not unimportant.(And as someone who has primarily used Linux on the desktop since (eep!) 2004, I do take it seriously, but I don't agree that it sucks.)

@djsundog I feel like that's a straightforward functional improvement and an increase in utility. The case for it is almost too good, really.

@djsundog M.2 standard slots are rated for 60 insertion cycles; we're probably going to need a better interface.

@djsundog Actually, it looks like this does exist, rated for 10k insertion cycles, basically using a U.2 connector stuck onto a (generally much cheaper) M.2 drive: https://global.icydock.com/resources/icy_tips_251.html

@catandgirl You get a lot of credit for Rothko's Basilisk though.
