A god who fled to their room and never came back out would certainly explain a lot ~w~
(Is this just re-inventing deism at this point? owo;)

Today was a very blobby day. I lived like a blob, blobbing around. Mostly a happy one though, I think.

I am reminded that setting things up on linux is flexible, but difficult. Trying to understand how to set up a Samba config file (not just to do it by copying other configs blindly, but to understand it and what one is doing) is hard. And I'm a bloody programmer :/

Moderately beefy, too, at 12 TB.

Okay, so, funny story. Koyaanisqatsi. I hadn't heard of it before. So I looked it up and looked at a youtube video of it.
I skipped a lot of it, but maybe watched half an hour all told, starting at the middle and working towards the end. The camerawork was really great, they'd done a bunch of cool things with time-lapse, slow-motion, weird camera shots, and ominous music.
...It was only when I saw "Francis Coppola presents" at the end, however, that I realised every shot playing backwards wasn't an artistic statement but (probably) this particular upload dodging copyright protection.
On the upside: Bridges and buildings un-exploding themselves into an array of ruined ghost tenements is I honestly way more awesome and haunting than the original way 'round.

91 coppola's company distributed it, he didn't make any of the stuff... i was in a new age mood back then, i also sad baraka (1992) and the other two -atsi films (they were a 3 part trilogy)
well, glad u found it interesting enough to see at least half of it
12TB is a lot... what sort of stuff do you plan to put on to it?

...And maybe all the GOG game offline installers I own, if I'm feeling hoard-y.
It adds up. Not to 12TB right away, but easily to 5TB or so, and I figured since changing the size of a ZFS raid is a pain I might as well get four disks instead of three (since one disk is parity three disks would have just been 8TB)
92
Ironically the processor on the machine running this is noticeably more powerful than my (now aging) gaming PC's (I do plan to use the computer for other things than just being a NAS—but in the meantime it's kind of hilarious. NAS go brrr...)

93 sounds like you're asking for unnecessary complexity
imagine paying yourself the time going thru setting up a zfs raid instead of buying one off the shelf... like building a pc instead of purchasing one online... doing it for the experience ig

Especially if one assumes one's time is free, but I'm still unemployed, so mine is :'p
Which is sort of what happened here. It's loads more expensive than a NAS that can only do NAS stuff, but between blowing $250 on a single-purpose machine and blowing $650 on a computer that does the same things and is a respectable computer in its own right... And compared to any pre-built PC that fits those conditions, it's what I want? IDK
But I am definitely somewhat doing it for fun. Although "fun" here also means "to avoid my own future frustration at the things I cannot do". It's possibly complicated — or I'm just sleepy and rambling!

not as well as you considering you're still up at five in the morning having a blast 96

Not okay, then. I'm really sorry.
I don't think I have anything useful to say, but much love, many hugs, and I hope you are doing as okay as circumstances allow.

It is how it goes. The universe is not known for its sympathy. That's what other humans are for. At least ideally.

There was much rejoicing.

In totally-unrelated note, several hours in a totally-nonviolent walking simulator sort of game has me idly wondering why so many games are violent.
Like not in a judgemental, woe is humanity way—just genuinely, why is "fake violence" one of our most common themes for "fun". Like obvious potential evolutionary reasons spring to mind fairly easily, but at face value it seems very strange...
Sleepily, I wonder if I could make a compelling tree-hugging simulator. Maybe the reason that doesn't sound compelling is there's no reason not to just walk out and hug a tree IRL?
Except bugs maybe.

It sure as hell did something though, yeah. And now it's mostly dead code, that it's better to have pixelized outlets for, one supposes?
But we also like hugs and try to save small wounded animals and so on and so forth. Strange creatures, we.

And now, to cuddle into soft blankets and snuggle myself to sleep like the small confused apex predator that I am.

I'm looking for new jobs... so far it's been: "a biology degree? wow, you don't really have any experience we could use..." or just auto-reject.
I really don't want to have to wait a year to build up a data science portfolio or something like that at my current job...
I am also wanting a partner (((((((. haven't had a gf yet while everyone around me seems to be getting into relationships
but on the bright side, I'm applying to other jobs!!! WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO it's a warm sunny world out there!
