more rambling re: Long rambling about filesystems. Contains opinions. 

@algernon I like breaking things frequently, so grub-btrfs configured to boot pre and post upgrade transaction snapshots has become standard on my personal machines. However maybe the benefits would be more debatable if I used something like NixOS as you will be doing. (I'm too unfamiliar).

That all said, I only switched off LVM and ext4 last year and I am surprised btrfs 'won' the poll. I would have suspected that weariness to adopt new things, fear of btrfs scrub, and superstition would make it fare less in a poll. I mean- storage pools are cool, but there still isn't stable support for certain raid configurations after years. I'm curious what the biggest draw is for the average poller? I hardly make use of many actual btrfs selling-point features aside from the 'free' thin provisioned VM storage allocation, and VM cloning.

can any girls give me a bottle of girl water so i can girl hydrate and get rid of my girl headache?

She was a dvorak,
she was a workman,
can I make it any more obvious?

Got this incredible watercolour piece from @murazaki.bsky.social! I'm so pleased with it :3

#mutualaid #transcrowdfund

@thufie Yes. In fact, it already is public, though a bit scattered:

I use ai.robots.txt as one of my sources. Everything in its robots.json is blocked.
I also block some that I collected, the current list is here.

I plan to make a nicer list, with more comments, and easier to pick parts of. But that will take a while.

@algernon will you publish a list of suggested agents to block eventually?

Urgent #crowdfund request! One of my besties is on the verge of eviction. She's a disabled transfemme w/ limited resources. She has until Feb 3rd to get $2k to clear court fees & back rent. She houses 3 other ppl, & 2 cats. The temps in PA have been in the single digits & there's snow on the ground. Anything helps!

There are a few false positives, which I will need to address. For example, I served garbage to Mastodon instances that have "twitter" in their name. On second thought, though... maybe that is correct. Don't name your mastodon instance after twitter, perhaps.

I have not downloaded the current logs for closer analysis yet, so I don't have per-user agent numbers yet. But I will! Blog post and data dump likely coming tomorrow. Data dump will only contain the bad visitors, with the false positives removed too.

#MutualAidRequest to help a homeless disabled trans couple (with two cats) stay inside another week

Room goal (due Sunday):
$150/$450

Hello fedi. My partner @LukeOrion and I are a homeless disabled trans couple (with two cats) currently living out of an extended stay hotel. We are trying to raise the $450 we need for Sunday to cover another week inside for us and our little family. We both really appreciate the support we receive on here. Especially now it’s crucial to help us survive.

Please boost, thank you!
