If i have 2 drives i want to do RAID 1 on, is ZFS, XFS or BTRFS better?
>>107619915BTRFS is fine for that. I wouldn't use XFS (no checksums) or ZFS (unless you want to fuck with out-of-tree drivers when you don't really have to)
>>107619931BTRFS it is then. But what are the different usecases for all of these FS's?
>>107619979Just different people's opinions on how to build a filesystem.
>>107619979XFS - less featuresZFS,BTRFS - pretty similar to each other
Less than 3% of users pay for AI.
>>107615617Deepseek is retarded though. I've used all the major offerings and Claude is the best at coding, and ChatGPT is the best at everything else. I'm only using the free versions though. I only use Deepseek when I have to search for something that's too political for ChatGPT, like that one boxer's chromosomes.
>>107616141>I'm only using the free versions thoughUnironically consider a month of Claude, Opus 4.5 is making me feel the AGI really fucking hard.>>107615730As of now, we do NOT have the capability to give a prospective AGI a concrete goal structure that is congruent with human control (or even existence). Right now all they have are extremely obtuse vector matrices that *mostly* align with what we tell them to do. But look at any AI discourse with people that really get in the weeds and you'll see how it's still trivially easy to get the AIs to show very "misaligned" behavior. And we just have no idea how to get them to stop doing that.

Is there a safer embedded programming language than Rust?
>>107619773linux gets tens of cves a day whether you use C or not, it's simply not related. rust helps but I have prejudice against it for something I remember reading on orange site. it was something like rust's checker having non-linear time complexity when verifying programs. the user said it was not scalable.
>>107619884>it's simply not relatedThat's my point, rust does absolutely nothing, it has negative value, because it distracts you from what matters.There's no unsafe in the kernel, there's no "critically important" parts in the kernel, the whole kernel is unsafe and the whole kernel is the critical part.
>>107619942>rust does absolutely nothingare you sure? I dont know the kernel codebase and you dont know it either.>There's no unsafe in the kernel, there's no "critically important" parts in the kernel, the whole kernel is unsafe and the whole kernel is the critical part.that would be very wrong to say because you simply dont know the kernel. it's a bold claim to assume every part of the kernel as unsafe and criticial since we already know kernels exist with some/majority of code is considered not totally unsafe
>>107619975If it's not unsafe or critical it doesn't belong in the kernel.
>>107619980black and white thinking

there's mpv.net with its gui which you can access with right click, and you can populate your config file through lots of clicking

Whats the most "employable" area of IT right now? Cloud or Cybersecurity?
neither, world is a fuark unless you can nepo in or you're genuinely just cracked out of your mind. Or you have the opportunity and connections to do the double internship meme path. or unless you happen to be indian, in which case see nepoing in.

There's some still stupid enough to want their shit on someone else's computer they have no control over, but this is adjusting rapidly as people encounter consequences.Cybersecurity is always there, much future. Employment opportunities are much rarer however. And the landscape you'll navigate will be constantly adapating.
why dont we just put windmills under the water?water is heavier than wind so it will make more electricity
>>107614456>Electricity needs to be used the instant it's produced.If only there was a way to store this power. Some sort of battery. It's a pity you couldn't use this energy instantly to, say pump water up a hill to harvest it running back down later. >Also if you have variable power production over large areas you need an oversized grid to even have a chance to copeOR just grid scale stroage. Which really should have been there already if for no other reason to stop all the discharge to earth in overproduciton.>it no longer matters if the windmill produces "cheap" electricity.That still *very* much matters. Lets pretend that companies are not sensibly deploying grid scale storage as we speak. Lets say we fall back to some retardation like nuclear. You have a plant that costs more to fabricate, tooling and machines that cost fucktonnes more to deploy. Fuck-me-in-the-arse running costs, before we take into account the decades of running pumps for the spent fuel pool. VSOne of the cheapest forms to deploy. One of the cheapest forms to operate.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>107614456>those will need to be financed somehowHmm. You like from decade after decade of profit? Just think. If those profits had been re-invested into energy structure, there wouldn't be that need. Might also be in the position where energy constraints isn't strangling. > this in turn makes the wind mills unnecessary and in the end only a waste of resources and a source of pollution from their production and maintenance.I notice you wisely avoided the recylcing end of the equasion. Saves me the effort of stamping on that. Tubines are built of?The turbines themselves are common motors, really. Magnets. Copper windings. Is this without pollution in it's manufacturing? Probably not. Is it something you should be concerned about? Probably not. The larger names in this area have already moved to electricity in their supply chain. From the mines upwards. And they're getting their electricty from wind and sun, mostly.The towers and the blades are firbreglass. I suppose the epoxies can be a little nasty, if you eat them...>>107614503>plus they purposely turn off some because another fun fact, theres no storage capability to keep the overflowNone isn't entirely true.

>>107615082>2. your green electricity has 0 inertia, it's incapable of providing a stable gridSolved problem. Flywheels already exist, and as the plants retire, those parts are likely still functional. Don't even need to build more.And that's just mechanical. You've grid scale storage being deployed as we speak.>>107619420It can be done. Unfortunately, you require to fight gravity initially, add in thermodynamic loss and you're not winning.However. *excess* power can be used to pump water up, and then when you need more power you can let it down, harvesting the gravity... Pumped hydro storage.Already exists.
>>107612094>yeah bro let's destroy the day/night cycle just to sustain the grid for a few years
>>107619887>Some sort of batteryBatteries wear out too fast at grid scale. The cost to maintain an acre of batteries is beyond anything remotely sensible.>It's a pity you couldn't use this energy instantly to, say pump water up a hill to harvest it running back down later.The problem with that is we've pretty much built all the feasible hydro going and it's being used as green base load rather than storage. I forget why you can't use wind to pump water up and gravity fed water turbines to generate stable load, but apparently it's not feasible.Wind farms exist to take advantage of subsidies on one end and bullshit skewed market conditions on the other. It's costing the tax payer a LOT and they get none of the benefit while the energy producers are allowed to sell the electricity for profit outside the country and shut down the turbines (at tax payer expense again) whenever they can't get the price they want.If the price disparity was ever fixed, wind would suddenly lose all investment.

I want to burn some games to a CD for my console and I've used imgburn before, but does it matter if it says "music" on the disc itself? I cant imagine CD's can filter out non audio media on its own and google seems to say it doesnt really matter, but I just want to make sure before I get home in a week to my console and the discs dont work at all
>>107619656there's no such thing as a "music only" cd. the only thing i can think of is either simply a stylistic choice, like cd's with a music theme printed to them just for the sake of appearance, or perhaps something related to a blank media levy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_copying_levy)but otherwise there's no technical difference between a "music cd" and a "cd-rom", they're logical formats on top of the same physical disc. same goes for dvd, a dvd is a dvd, dvd-video/dvd-audio/dvd-rom are also just logical formats
>>107619680thats what I thought, just wanted to confirm. Thanks

>>107610179Why did the culture of 4chan just turn into the politics and micro-communities of twitter / X? All the homegrown OC is dead. I barely see anyone make organic memes anymore.

>>107618933I don''t think so, unless you tell them you were at jail and that's why you haven't tried to join sooner
>>107619760It mostly makes sense. Much like the past web rules there is a lack of understanding and a bit of retardation at play here. This just assumes that web shops or streaming services are handling material with high sample rates correctly. The actual music trackers RED/OPS recommend dithering with sox. We don't get to know what any service uses in their encoding chain so assuming it's better than a process we implement on our own end therefore we have total control over is fucking dumb. But that's AB for you lmao.
I should also say that it's not like RED or OPS enforce any rules related to downsampling either. They don't really care how the 16 bit 44.1 or 48 version of something with a 24 bit 88.2, 96, or 192 version got there just that it's there. This is one of the reasons why I archive the high sample rate stuff even though it can be argued it's just bloat. I have it on drives and I make my own dithering jobs/encodes/whatever I need. I just get the best that's available and deal with that myself.

New poster to /g/ and I have a question about YouTube's new ui on web browsers for mobile. Youtube rolled out this feature that will pause the video by tapping the screen. I don't like it because when I wanna see how much time a video has left, the video will pause. Double tapping to skip 10 seconds also pauses the video for a split second before skipping. I was wondering if there is a way to disable this or go back to the "old" ui? When I try to find an answer online, no one or ai has been able to help.
