Guys, we found the dunce that failed 3rd grade math. They figured out how to use a computer, finally.

The point of this entire thread is to solve the problem/attract trick or treaters. Not giving out bullshit size bars is a solid way to do that. And the number of those who visit OPs house are low anyway, so it doesn’t fucking matter that ‘bigger means less quantity, das tooped herpaderp’.

OP is trying to make kids enjoy the event, and the bean counter over here is like ‘we could save money by providing a shittier, smaller product, but more of it - though less overall compared to the standard, shh, nobody will know that - where is my promotion, boss?’.

To be both incompetent and a smug jerk is impressive though, that’s a skill that will get you places. Not pleasant places, but places.

Oh no, I’m so sorry. About living in Ohio, I might.

Uh, they are actually native to Cupertino…

new?

I’m just skimming this thread, but paragraph 2 is basically fact. I’m on my second synology box, the UI is simple and I want reliability, I don’t want shit to break because of a git push on some bullshit tool. But recently I snatched a Lenovo server and threw proxmox and Debian on it, and also got a vps.

The synology is actually pretty capable, especially if it can do docker, and if you are willing to venture into (as a beginner) copy/pasting commands from the internet into the task scheduler as a half-assed way to get at the terminal, it can do literally everything that I want. But I’m a geek, why should I keep a stable, reliable system as my only machine? :p

My synology does files, some docker stuff. Lenovo does a couple docker stuff, BOINC since it’s just idling most of the time, and docker for game and related hosting on my vps. Hell, this entire thing could be ‘just add a network folder, and install docker and dockge/portainer’.

Though (paragraph 3) I tried and didn’t like TrueNAS. Maybe it’s because the synology does it already, I was just exploring, but it has that ‘foss feel’ where you have no idea what you are doing, even when you know what all the pieces do, and it just kinda is like ‘here you go, figure it out’ and leaves. I remember the UI being equally… ‘designed by a programmer’ let’s say. It might be powerful but oof, slick it ain’t.

Why are we going into a glass of ice

“oh that’s okay, I have cash, coin, and check”

Look, it’s a car I would build in NFS Underground/2!

(body kit, tiny mirrors for aerodynamics, roof scoop, massive hideous wing for style points, a 5-layer livery, and random sponsor stickers plastered in every conceivable area; just needs flashing underglow, suicide doors, a trunk audio package, and spinners for that chef’s kiss)

(I’ve now ruined rally vehicles for everyone)

Someone get this person a dilf/milf, stat

• Have your domain send all messages of unknown accounts sent to one ‘real’ address (catch-all)
• Have unique email addresses for every website/service (use a password manager to keep track of credentials)
• When an address gets compromised, caught in a data breach, etc just change the email address to a new address and also (see next)
• When shit websites don’t respect opt-out/account closure/etc, send messages to that address to a black hole

Squeeky-clean inbox, and a happy you

Ugh, but I was so close…

I’ll hold my “I was wrong” until the day the last votes are counted…

Those are baked into the app, though

Everyone here is like “use this” “use that” which is great but the immediate solution is

switch to desktop mode

You’re welcome

“this ad blocker doesn’t help with solving my not-at-ad issue! what good is it?!”

Yes, but actually no. :P

I’ll take your entire stock

I would take an already-made burger, then inspect it and rip out elements of it, replace several others, add a bunch of layers of new things. It would take a few months and I would have no idea what I’m doing the whole time, but I would persist. The end result would be a delicious burger that occasionally has a missing item. Still working on why/where/how that happens. People would enjoy it, but most would not know that they can customize their burger, or the extent of the options.

(I used to code as a hobby in VB, C#, and Java over a decade ago, almost two; this burger example is me not knowing a damn bit of Lua, as I fork and modify a game mod to have a lot more features, less confusing variables, and lots of broken commented code as I have ideas but still don’t fully grasp what I’m doing. Weeeee!)

A speed comparison between https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcachefs, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS on Linux. These are all file systems, like windows ntfs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS or the apple journalling file system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_File_System.

While usually unimportant for most use-cases, and with each offering differing features and capabilities, in data-heavy systems speed can be an important factor in determining whether to use one file system over another.

It’s also ‘my car can beat your car in a drag race’ for geeks, because again it usually doesn’t matter and features are far more important than speed for the typical user.

I’ve seen this answered so many times it’d make your head spin, looney-toons style. If you don’t know then you haven’t been paying any attention.
