Going from 8MBto 16MB on Windows 95 was a pretty big improvement.

Also a happy T440p owner. Nice laptop and the keyboard is great.

BTRFS deciding it's corrupt and refusing even read only access.

Edit: You beat it by trashing the disk, using any other file system, restoring from backup and accepting any losses.

Careful. You might get hit by a bus.

I've just stripped and primed 6 kitchen drawers. They need 2 coats of paint after that. I have to silicone around the new bath panel later on and maybe make a start at replacing the curtain rails. The old rails and baton need to come down, new wood cut, finished, routed, painted then afixed to the wall. It'll look good when done, but I'm not looking forward to it.

It stole all my data. It's a bit of a clusterfuck of a file system, especially one so old. This article gives a good overview: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/09/examining-btrfs-linuxs-perpetually-half-finished-filesystem/ It managed to get into a state where it wouldn't even let me mount it readonly. I even resorted to running commands of which the documentation just said "only run this if you know what you're doing", but actually gave no guidance to understand - it was basically a command for the developer to use and noone else. It ddn't work anyway. Every other system that was using the same disks but with ext4 on their filesystems came back and I was able to fsck them and continue on. I think they're all still running without issue 6 years later.

For such an old file system, it has a lot of braindead design choices and a huge amount of unreliability.

I bought a proper country jacket last year for far more than I'd normally spend. It's very heavy, very waterproof, very full of pockets, very farmerish, very good.

I gave up trying to setup a Mastodon server in docker. Lemmy was pretty tricky at the time as the docs were wrong. My email server was a bit tricky, but I've not really done much to tinker with it in the proceeding 6 years, so was worth it.

Depends what you want to do.

Want to sit? The chairs. Want to see? The lights. Want to not fall under the building? The floor. Want to get out? The door. Want to swim? The pool. Want to get out of the pool? The ladder. Want to get changed? The changing room. Want to warm the room? The heater.

Why fake serial numbers?

I used btrfs once. Never again!

Are you saying SSDs are faster than HDDs?
