I’ve found a couple plugs “upgraded” to 3-prong by jumping the load and ground together. That made for a fun firework show when my metal fan touched something metal. Even the landlord was impressed by that stupidity.

Ah, the good old reverse polarity bootleg ground.

Fun fact: RPBG is the one fault that those plug-in outlet testers can’t recognize

Edit: Wait, no, that would be hot bootleg ground, they should catch that. RPBG has the hot and neutral switched, and also a bootleg ground to the neutral that’s actually hot

Reminds me of a story about magic

That is madness. I love it

I’ve found SMB to more frequently have connection issues with my Linux clients, and often be slower. It’ll work, but if you’re mainly supporting Linux clients, might as well set up NFS if you like toying with things anyways

SMB for the windows clients, possibly NFS as well for the others. *nix will talk with SMB fine, but NFS may be faster. Windows’ NFS support is shit though.

Running both daemons won’t really add much overhead

Flac for storage, turn up the compression level. Transcode to an appropriate format when copying or streaming to a device

File system table

Well that sounds cool

As long as you don’t use emacs :P

I have a hard time believing anyone here doesn’t actually know how to exit vim properly.

You power cycle the machine, then run apt-get update && apt-get install nano, right?

Fuckin \s, just in case that wasn’t clear

I am non-serious, I just don’t like vim (or emacs; if I’m editing a text file in a terminal I want nano, or I append manually with pipes as Linus intended).

Most of my systems have X11 and some basic GUI text editor, my server is the exception that proves the rule. There is generally no actual reason to use Vim except liking Vim, or wanting to learn to like Vim.

For those that do like Vim, or want to learn it for historical reasons? Good on you, have fun.

If you like emacs fuck off though.

I usually just power-cycle the machine

Well fuckin thank you for that concise explanation, because I’ve been planning to build a NAS and Jellyfin box, and have been wondering

I roll the ankles together when I take them off, then wash them like that. They usually come out of the dryer still together

I choose to believe that’s the Xfce rat. The C++ one is fatter

There’s nothing to do in Nebraska except drink and maintain Linux drivers

Specifically, most likely the OS hard drive, since that’s usually sda

You should try dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sda some time :P

The biggest issue I see is edits percolating through the network slowly or not at all, but I’m sure that’s not an insurmountable problem
