Interesting, I'll keep that in mind for if I go for a RAID setup, but for now it's just my one drive on BTRFS, the other one is ext4.

Arch isn't unstable, I just keep breaking things in my ignorance. The only thing in this scenario I could pin on Arch is that the "ca-certificates" package should have been marked as a dependency for pacman, but I guess it's not strictly a dependency, as you can use pacman to install stuff from a local repo. Definitely for Firefox, though, as you can not browse the internet without the certs.

Could be, seems to me that BTRFS didn't match the subvolid between @home and what it expected @home to be in the fstab, but I won't claim to be an expert lol

Yeah, I could see it being a good server OS, but otherwise NixOS seems like it's on the "immutable" thing that's popular right now. I've tried a few immutable distros, and they're not for me, I end up layering everything anyways lol

Idk about all that, it's been fine for me, just a little misconfiguration here. The compression just saved me a bunch of storage space, so I'm kinda in btrfs' corner right now lol

I like to tinker, plus I can be absolutely assured that every problem with my system is 100% my fault, which actually makes it easier to track down any problems. But the main reasons people use Arch is probably the rolling release model and the AUR.

Just an update: following the very helpful suggestions in this thread has gotten my drive usage down to 16%! Super happy about that, y'all rock!

You joke, but I actually did remove locales with BleachBit, and then changed pacman.conf to skip the unnecessary ones. Saved me about 400MB!

Making a meme out of whatever Star Trek episode I care to watch. (i.ibb.co)

[HELP] How to change default home (startrek.website)
 

My current "default home" when you open the app or click the home button is set to "Subscribed Top Six Hour". I would like to change that to "All Top Six Hour", but I can't seem to find where to do this. Android app, btw.

Would a federated dating site work well? What would it look like? (startrek.website)
 

Basically title, every bit of online dating nowadays is either Match or Meta, and we're all about breaking corporate chains right?

So these are the thoughts I had:

  1. Matches based on simple user selection: age range, lifestyle, hobbies etc. None of that dumb algorithm stuff that makes you reset your profile every month.

  2. ActivityPub protocol so that anyone can run their own instance, but can also be blocked if anything heinous happens.

  3. E2EE for messaging (and anything else if it's possible).

  4. Someone wrote an open-source anti-CSAM script for Lemmy recently, I hope we could adapt that to our use.

  5. Just, like, everyone have a good time on this app, we're here for love lol

I am not a coder, so I would have no idea how to do this, but I wonder about the interest in such a creation. Maybe some of you out there could make something I could use to get a date (pls).

Any drummers in the area looking to join a weird rock band? (startrek.website)
 

Like the title says, I'm looking for a drummer that wants to join a weird rock band. I can't say who our influences will be, because we don't know yet! I want this band to be completely original, musically diverse, but with a pop sensibility so we can still get gigs lol. I know Dallas is all about the metal scene, but I (and the other band members we already have) are opposed to this, so if you're a metal guy, please apply! Musical diversity is the name of the game here.

I'm a jazz/rock guy, our singer's an R&B guy from NYC, and we have a violinist who's classically trained but wants to venture into other avenues. We also need a bassist, because I want to play guitar for this project, but if we can't get anyone else then I guess I'll play bass FINE, ugh.

Anyways, if you wanna get in touch about this, message me here! Thanks!

In other news, I now have the ability to screenshot, and access to a warp tool. My shitposting powers grow by the minute.

And got the hots for some soup!

I am convinced that this episode gave rise to the goo fetish we all know (and love).

[META] Could I post an advert for people to join my band? (startrek.website)
 

I just wanted to know if that was allowed here. I have a Craigslist post ready if so, if not then I won't do it and you can delete the post!
