I have a pi4 running on an ssd over usb3 with a usb3 dock that has 2x2TB drives for storage.

At the moment I have mainly music on one and mainly video on the other, with important stuff on both and elsewhere.

Is it sensible to combine 2x2TB hdd's via usb3 dock into a 4TB filesystem/pool/volume/thing......and if so can I have tiered storage so if one drive fails the other will have a mirror of important stuff?

I think that's just one of the official binary penguins that were released last month.

I think that's part of why he is being so careful with language, it's in line with him coming out to say homosexuality is not a crime earlier this year.

Hopefully this is just paving the way for further change but when the Church holds a lot of power in countries where lgbtq+ people are outlawed and heavily oppressed I can see why he's slowly introducing ideas like it's not against the law and being permissible to baptise.

I'm no fan of the RCC but if the pope quickly does a full 180 on these issues the church will likely fracture and the countries where things are pretty extreme will break away and, double down on the persecution and allow it to become an identity marker.

I've been using the 'Open With' extension on Firefox to play video through mpv with a click

Seen many puffballs in this area, but never like this. Today they were everywhere.

Been wanting to get my hands on one of these for a long time.

Found three big ones, which was nice 🙂

Transcoding anything >720p is painful.

I run ancient hardware for desktop/laptop >10yrs old apple stuff running linux. I consume media mainly via rpi4 or android.

What's a minimum level system capable of trans-coding 4k video to x265 in at the very least real time? Is there a tiny trans-coding device out there somewhere?

Would a NUC do? How old or new to churn out 4k x265

Can I avoid hardware? Are cloud gpu's a thing?

It does indeed, thank you.

Don't often read about a mushroom that was considered edible until ~1940's. Sneaky assassin.

Was worried for a minute I might not even be running linux, but neofetch has saved the day.

Will be doing a fresh install on an old laptop in the near future and was considering trying wayland.

Can you recommend a decent & light window manager & terminal emulator?

I've played around with wayland but always ended up back on xorg, was gonna give it another shot.

I've not come across this packaging before and can't see any trademark.

Just wondering if anyone has seen this, nugs ain't too dense either.

Ohhh, nice find.

It's still on my bingo card to find in the wild.

Sorry, new here & confused by stuff.

Debian had a very long and painful public debate to eventually depend exclusively on systemd, from Red Hat. I'm not so sure they choose wisely to heavily depend upon RH/IBM LGLP code.

The new release is the first ever, I think, to offer non-free software by default.

Personal opinion is that Gentoo had it right all along. They spend a lot of time & man hours ensuring pretty much anything coming from Red Hat, that isn't being filtered by Linus, is optional. They created eudev, elogind & made Gnome portable again when Red Hat tried to shut down portability. Neddy shows that you can run a bleeding edge system whilst not depending on much at all from Red Hat over the past 15yrs or so.
