why would you store cars, televisions and handbags for a bittorrent tracker?

and maybe most importantly, why would you use PHP?

Honestly "lol" completely lost its original meaning years ago

now that's a server. mine is like that too. its not the hardware but the purpose that makes a machine a server

didn't really rocket but yeah, it had a notable increase

that's not a server machine

hmm I see. and why do you want that? balancing storage usage between backup sites? one of them is too little for the whole pool?

for now I don't have a better idea, sorry. maybe this is the second best time to think up a structure for the datasets, and move everything into it.
but if the reason is the latter, one backup site cant hold the whole pool, you may need to reorganize it again in the future. and that's not an easy thing, because now you'll have the same data (files of the same category) scattered around the FS tree even locally. maybe you could ease that with something like mergerfs, and having it write each file to the dataset with lower storage usage.

if you are ready to reorganize, think about what kinds (and subkinds) of files will you be likely to store in a larger amount, like media/video, media/image, and don't forget to take advantage of per-dataset storage settings, like for compression, recordsize, maybe caching. not everything needs its own custom recordsize, but for contiguously read files a higher value might be better, also if its not too often accessed and want better compression ratio as compression (and checksumming!) happens per records. video is sometimes compressible, or rather some larger data blob inside the container

I don't like that question because a dismissive but valid argument is "to contain the smells after taking a shit".

For 99% of drivers, the on-disc ones

op will wipe the disk

as long as you have an Internet connection you can download any that aren't on-disc

if windows update can guess correctly what kind of device you have

The remaining 1% can be obtained directly from the OEM

I did not have that experience last time with an acer laptop

what is your goal with this?

do you still want to keep all the data in a single pool?
if so, you could make datasets in the pool, and move the top directories into the datasets. datasets are basically dirs that can have special settings on how they are handled

ninja edit: now that I think about it, moving across datasets probably makes that data to be resent.
it would be easier to give advice by knowing why do you want to do this

there are. for one because of the license key, but also because it's not rare that its hard to find all the drivers that make all of the laptop work

It's possible because block devices can be read just like files (except often the permission differences)

you can use the sha256sum command to do this. there are a few siblings of it with different algs. gui tools also existof course

discord and google docs. say no more

then make it default off and switchable with a kernel param, or if its a lot of code then make its compilation optional and default off

I didn't even notice it, though I was using mail multiple times in the past 12+ hours

well codeberg's CI system is almost a copy of github actions, so there's that

the actual problem is not that you need an additional account, but as OP said, the terms. with an account they can tie all your searches, what repos have you visited and how often, and other non-public activities to you. basically the same data mining that youtube, facebook and others do, just in an earlier stage

Pretty sure roku ones don't allow to be used until you accept their terms online

well only if that becomes possible at all

A refreshed New Tab layout is being rolled out to users in the US and Canada, featuring a repositioned logo and weather widget to prioritize Web Search, Shortcuts, and Recommended Stories at the top.

before anyone starts complaining, yes I know several people in close proximity that use the news&weather windows taskbar thing, so this probably has a reason to exist

finally release notes have been uploaded!

probably only OP will see this though..
