I don’t care what Windows uses

and your point is? never said anything about what windows uses. doesn’t matter either.

but you think windows would actually support another format?

I do not think, I know.

but this point also does not matter whatsoever at all, because in my original comment I said nothing about using ZFS on windows.

points that actually matter were not addressed by you, so whatever. good for you that you could pick on points that don’t matter.

dude cool down with your tone and downvotes, this is not reddit. if you reread my comment, the zfs part and the partitioning part are independent possibilities. you don’t need partitions for zfs. the 2 partition way is for when you don’t have zfs for whatever reason. you will probably be able to make use of that even from your monthly subscription windows 12.

btw, there is zfs for windows too. but yeah the other way is easier, only more laborious.

i was thinking about that too. have just read what they offer for another thread, and something is weird. is it correct that for free accounts they allow a year of inactivity before getting deleted, but if you don’t pay anymore and you use more than the free storage, they will delete your account after 30 days of missed payment?

and whats with the legacy kit feature? it has an option for a 30 day waiting period. but how does that pair with account deletion shortly after missing the payments?

I’m not sure if google has such a feature, even less so I want to recommend people to upload their life to google. but ente photos has a feature to pass your pictures to someone as a “legacy”

I wasn’t sure what happens when a paid account stops being paid, but they say they will notify all legacy recipients after a year that they should do something: https://ente.com/help/photos/faq/storage-and-plans

its still not clear to me what happens if you had 80 GB of media and payments stop. but by this I think they will just deny new uploads and let you recover it for a year and some.

edit: no, its only 30 days with a subscription: https://ente.com/help/photos/faq/storage-and-plans#subscription-expires

flash loses charge from the cells. hard drives are mechanical, but they loose the magnetic charge at a significantly slower rate (or I should say, flash memory loses it faster).

but in both cases the files are better to be scrubbed regularly. zfs can do this with little effort, but creating once and then rechecking a checksum file could also have the same effect. gives the drive a chance to recognize and renew weak charges. I don’t think flash drives and sd cards have such built-in functionality, so maybe have 2 partitions and copy the whole contents in a direction, overwriting data, next time the other direction. but always check the checksums before any such copy.

Back your stuff up is good advice, in case the worst happens, but nothing beats physical books your kids can look through.

in an age where people are constantly renting because they cannot afford to have their own place, digital backups could be longer living though.

just think of all the time the camera app is not running

Plus, while I can get our kids to look as some of the ones in albums, I can never get them to look through the endless scroll of the ones online, even if I limit it one trip or event when there might only be a few hundred photos.

there’s certainly a different feeling to flipping through a photo album and scrolling on a phone

don’t worry, google and facebook still has your photos their properties you and your friends have uploaded

but the Oh So Magical Boxes will surely keep them safe! I have no clues how it works but thats its job so it better be doing it, or else I’ll buy the next model from the same brand sooner! I don’t need to think about it! look it says its even waterproof so I’ll bring it with me into the salty sea! it is also in my Cloud™, so what could go wrong! living the Hi Life, comfy life FTW!

oh no, OP will now buy all RPi stock and manufacturing capacity for years! what have you done?!

it does not sound like its the new version that is better for them. more like an older version was better, newer is worse.

except when the manufacturer puts effort into locking out reverse engineers through cryptography.

fuck you, nvidia!

you mean the nouveau driver? the one that is unable to up the frequencies from the minimum because it is not signed by nvidia? it may work as a display output, but not much else

tbh if you notice it early, it probably only deleted th partition table entry at that point

only thing that means is ypu don’t know what else is it doing in the background. you are operating in “what I don’t see doesn’t exist” mode

But like. It’s fine. You can turn most of the annoying stupid shit like copilot off.

you can turn most of it off… by hunting the internet for the right tools for that. Because built in settings certainly don’t allow disabling the majority of it. until they turn them back on with an update.
and the rest you just can’t turn off, or can’t reasonably discover.

windows is not fine. that ended with windows 7.

now me too, I don’t know what happened. but in the past few weeks it was always like that
