@gsuberland oh shit, Junodownload closed.

With the coverage of #Sony discontinuing discs, has anyone brought up that no one is manufacturing *drives*?

I don't want to be condemned to 15 megabit ultra compressed movies forever.

mbuffer is magical https://www.maier-komor.de/mbuffer.html

second joke, the ubuntu server "live" image doesn't have ZFS installed.

Good joke, the firmware (AMI BIOS) runs at a different baudrate to the booted system.

Oh shit, oh fuck, a ZFS backup mounted over the top of the NAS.

So /var/lib from one machine became /var/lib on the NAS.

This ran for *months*.

I only noticed because Docker just shat itself (/var/lib/docker)

Help me, #AskFedi #ZFS #Linux gurus.

Hilarously, I am missing backups of this system's config, except for what etckeeper got.

I think I boot a LiveUSB (Ubuntu Server will have ZFS), back up my "new" /var/lib and old /var/lib (to fucking where?) then revert to the "old" dataset by nuking the incorrect dataset completely.

Just gotta find a "cisco" style serial cable...

I have successfully installed ClarisWorks 5.0

TIL: There's a few (90s) Windows applications that are 32 bit, but the installers are 16 bit. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/application-management/x64-windows-not-support-16-bit-programs#use-16-bit-installshield-installers-to-install-32-bit-applications

"Sort these downloads" - the largest folder in the history of NAS, deleted by an admin after growing to 40TB

Well at least Benn *discloses* LLM use. https://www.bennjordan.com/blog/stego-links

When you got that routing right

Send me the fucking installer, don't send me the installer installer.

If only someone made a format SPECIFICALLY FOR SELF-EXTRACTING ARCHIVES and had done for DECADES

His train of thought was a replacement bus.

The Macintosh Garden / Macintosh Repository copy isn't correct either.

What are we going to do about the number of bad dumps that exist on archive.org?

This disc was never ISO9660 format.

(I now need to find a way to cross-check my own rip)
