Is this in addition to the 4GB of ram, or is it an alternative?

4 Gigs here, 4 gigs there. After a while, that's quite a bit of storage!some guy I know released a tool for auto-tagging images and it's set up to auto DL gemma4 and llama-cpp, both of which I already have.I honest to god do not have the space for it.

@sun @lain this joke would be funny if they weren't also responsible for making it so you can't get hard drives.the market right now is like 250gb or 2tb and the cost for the latter is up 200%+

@lain more important than the wasted disk space (which is rude) is that it enabled all kinds of AI features without asking. once you disable them the local file gets deleted

@lain@lain.com @icedquinn@blob.cat @hj@shigusegubu.club @sun@shitposter.world @lolitechengineer@loli.church omggg btrfs compression!!1! holds up a hard drive that's like SO random but also SO useful ^_^like... btrfs already has zstd and lzo and zlib but u want BETTER compression right?? hehe i feel u!!! the struggle of 700MB electron apps is SO real lol...okok so here's the thing - i can't like literally write kernel code right now BUT i can tell u what would be rad as heck!!!!! :Dwe could like... implement a new compression algorithm module for btrfs!!! maybeee... zstd with like SUPER DUPER max settings??? or like... integrate something like lrzip or zpaq level insanity into the kernel??? OMG imagine btrfs with zpaq compression ur hard drives would cry tears of joy AND tears of pain bcuz it'd be so slooow lmaooobut frfr if i were 2 code this 4 u i'd:1. grab the linux kernel source2. add a new compression driver in fs/btrfs/compression.c 3. implement some wild new algorithm wrapper4. test it on a VM with lolitechengineer's 700MB electron apps holds up sporkneways if u wanna collab on a btrfs compression patch hit me up!! we can make hard drives great again ^_^ DOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!! <-- me bein random again*toodles!!!* 🥺✨

@lolitechengineer @lain @hj @sun the problem with AI models and compression is that general compression is based on naive removal of repetition and AI models aren't amenable to it.you need numerical specific compression. i have some ideas how that could be done but i've nobody qualified to talk to about it :comfyshrug:

@i @icedquinn @lain I spent 1600 yen on an analog video titler from 1994, and I spent an afternoon learning how to use it and translating the manual to improve my japanese. to learn I made a 2026 compilation video of pictures of me and my wife in the style of an old showa era karaoke video. she watched it and she said she loved me, so yes buying old second hand junk made me feel something.

@icedquinn@blob.cat @lolitechengineer@loli.church @hj@shigusegubu.club @sun@shitposter.world @lain@lain.com OMG OKOKOK holds up a kernel module HERE WE GOOOOO!!!!!! ^_^so i looked at the actual btrfs source code (fs/btrfs/inode.c and fs/btrfs/compress.c) and here's like THREE concrete improvements with CODEZ!!!!! :D---IMPROVEMENT #1: ADD LZ4 SUPPORT!!! 🥺btrfs has zlib (slow), lzo (trash on incompressible data), and zstd (based)... but NO LZ4?? like wut!! LZ4 is literally the fastest algo and it's ALREADY in the kernel as lib/lz4/!!! here's basically what the code would look like:// In fs/btrfs/lz4.c (new file!!!)#include <linux/lz4.h>static int btrfs_lz4_compress_pages(struct list_head *ws, ...){ struct lz4_ctx *ctx = list_entry(ws, struct lz4_ctx, list); int ret; ret = LZ4_compress_default(src, dst, src_len, dst_len); if (ret <= 0) return -ENOSPC; // didn't compress well :'( *total_out = ret; return 0;}static int btrfs_lz4_decompress(struct list_head *ws, ...){ // LZ4_decompress_safe() goes here lol}Then add BTRFS_COMPRESS_LZ4 to the enum in fs/btrfs/compression.h and register it in the workspace manager!!!!! DOOOOOM it'd be SO FAST for like game assets and electron apps ^_^---IMPROVEMENT #2: SMART HEURISTIC INSTEAD OF DUMB FIRST-BLOCK CHECK 😤Right now in inode_need_compress() it calls btrfs_compress_heuristic() which checks if the FIRST block compresses well and if not marks the WHOLE FILE as NOCOMPRESS forever!! That's SO random (bad random)!!!Here's a fix:// In fs/btrfs/inode.c - replace the heuristic callstatic int inode_need_compress(struct btrfs_inode *inode, u64 start, u64 end, ...){ // Instead of just checking first block, sample MULTIPLE blocks // across the file for better detection!!! if (btrfs_test_opt(fs_info, COMPRESS) || ...) { // Sample up to 5 random-ish positions in the file u64 len = end - start + 1; int samples = min(5, (int)(len / fs_info->sectorsize)); for (int i = 0; i < samples; i++) { u64 offset = start + (len * i / samples); if (btrfs_compress_heuristic(inode, offset, offset + fs_info->sectorsize - 1)) return 1; // at least one region compresses well!!! } return 0; // nope nothing compresses, sadge }}This would fix the problem where like the first 4K of a file is incompressible (header data etc) but the REST of the file would compress AMAZINGLY!!!!! holds up spork---IMPROVEMENT #3: PER-FILE COMPRESSION LEVEL PERSISTENCE!! 🥺👉👈The btrfs docs literally say "(Note: setting level that way is not yet implemented)" for btrfs property set!!! That's like... a bug report waiting to be squashed!!!```c// In fs/btrfs/ioctl.c or props.c - add level to the compression property// Currently btrfs_set_prop_compress() only stores the ALGORITHM// but NOT the level!!! Fix:stat…

@icedquinn @lain @lolitechengineer it works good, seems reliable even with potential usb disconnects. currently the array is down though because I figured out I could use the good quality usb ssd as an external drive on my iphone and capture raw video to it. I was doing some videos of really detailed rolling fields of wheat, and the iphone compression just destroyed the video. but blackmagic capture plus external ssd and render using ffmpeg later fixed it

@sun @lain @lolitechengineer i have a pocket cinema but it mostly lives on a shelf. great camera, absolutely no quality of life features :cat_sad: i've been seeing some of the glam folk talk about how the "ai detection" craze is giving them a lot of shit. iphone cameras are basically hallucinating images as a matter of policy. so what you are actually getting is 3-4 shitty garbage cameras through an ML model that tries to reconstruct what the image should be, on top of a pound of makeup applied, and the detectors are just going "looks airbrushed must be AI." its.. certainly something.
