  • The only reason a trans woman would go to a gynecologist is to raise a stink. No other reason, no “healthcare” reason. I hate people who go out of their way be to a “victim”.

    “There is no recommendation for a trans woman to have regular gynaecological check-ups, unless she has a surgical problem related to the operation, because she doesn’t have a uterus or a cervix,” she added.

    Fucking drama queen.

    Seriously, what’s a gyno supposed to do? The parts they specialize in aren’t there. I can’t imagine being so pathetic that I go out of my way to cause problems for some random doctor.





  • Hard drives are divided into partitions. Once they’re made they’re (mostly) static, it’s just a division, no other features.

    LVM (Linux Volume Manager) makes it’s own "partitions" with hookers and blackjack. Since it’s done in the OS and not on the drive it’s a LOT more flexible.

    It takes disk(s) and/or partitions and combines them into a volume group (VG) and then lets you create it’s own divisions, called [logical] volumes (LV), to split up the storage. Think of this as a “virtual hard drive” that has a TON of features.

    VGs can include multiple drives and are easy to grow or shrink, add, remove, or replace physical drives, cache another volume, encrypt, make snapshots and roll back (eg: snapshot before update, restore if update borks something). Just so much

    You can even set the RAID level for each volume! RAID controls how many copies are kept on different drives. RAID1 (or raid10) has 2 drives hold the data) for important things so even if one drive fails you still have a working copy.

    RAID0only stores it on one device. There’s RAID5 (3 copies) but it’s mostly obsolete at this point as the rebuild process is painfully slow and adds addition wear on the other drives.

    Let’s say you have 4x 4TB drives, for 16TB of raw space (raid0). Making it a raid1 would give you 8TB of space (since two copies are stored on different drives). But if you only need 1TB as a raid1 and the rest is raid0 you end up with 14TB of space left over! That’s a lot more than 8TB!

    There’s a brazillion different options and useful things it can do. Mostly I find it useful for working with raids on servers. But I’ve stated leaving a few hundred gigs on my laptop to create volumes as need, such as an encrypted volume that’s not unlocked on login to store passwords, keys, and porn tokens.



  • LVM is the Linux Volume Manager. In short it’s kind of like a partitioner inside the OS (but with lots of cool features, like encryption, snapshots and restores, and caches, RAID)

    So you add all your drives, potentially with different groups like NVME, SSD. Then in those groups you create a volume (think partition).

    Examples:

    • For example my laptop has one drive, and one volume group, but I have a separate volume for home so I can take snapshot (which are small if things haven’t changed much!) and keep my home direecty when installing a new distro. I also make a separate volume for a VM to keep my machine clean.

    • My server, however, has 2 NVME drives and 12 spinning rust drives in 3 USB enclosures. Each USB drive is set as its own VG. USB is slow though, LVM to the rescue.

    I set the rest of the space on the 1st NVME and all the space on the 2nd NVME to work as a cache for each of the external enclosures.

    Now writes are NVME speeds and it will write back to the spinning rust at USB speed. Reads from the usb enclosures if cached are at NVME If it’s in the read cache I get is at NVME speeds, otherwise it reads off the drive. At this point my read cache since creation is 82% and continuing to climb. So less than 1/5th of the reads actually went over the USB. At the rate it’s climbing the current hit rate must be in the mid to high 90s.

    A pre-seed file is basically the answers to all the questions the installer would normally ask, like how to partition the drives, what mirror to use, software to install, settings to make, etc. default user accounts, etc. Now you can run that installer on a machine and walk away until it’s done.




  • 9 hours later, reading through this whole thread, has it changed your opinion? Because about 80% of the comments are from hexbear users generally being shitheads.

    Is that what you want the newcomer experience to be?

    “Just build a block list of a couple dozen communities and a few hundred @hexbear accounts and then it’s not so bad!” isn’t something a newbie is going to put up with.







  • Until they have the native tools to let me, as a user, block the entire instance I’m with you. Until then defederation is the only way to make “All” even bearable.

    Should I stop contributing, leave, and come back in a few months to see if those tools have been made? Because that’s a much preferable alternative than wading through so much shitposting blocking one community or user at a time. And I still see the effect of their votes.

    If this is going to drive away people who have been here what do you think it’ll do to newcomers? Do you think people will really want to join somewhere where every top post is full of tankies?

    Besides it’s not like they’re posting in good faith. They’re not there for an honest conversation. They are ChapoTrapHouse and they don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt. They are 100% trolls.

    Hexbear is making Lemmy unbearable for me. There’s no function for a user to block everything from a server. I don’t want to see their communities, their users, their posts, their messages, or their votes showing up.

    I block communities as they come up, I block individuals as they post, but it’s never ending.

    Every popular post is over-run with tankies shitposting, grinding real conversation to a halt.

    They’re not people open to having a conversation in good faith. They’re ChapoTrapHouse shitposters who got kicked off reddit for being pro-violence shitposters.

    Their Moderation Policy is incompatible with ours, as they allow hate speech as long as it’s directed towards the “right” people.

    A first timer looking would see 90% tankie crap and would leave and not come back.

    I’ve contributed less since they were joined simply because I don’t want a herd of tankies yelling at me with nobody else even reading it.

    Until such a time that I, as a user, can bock everything from a server I support defederation. Or at the very least put a giant poop emoji next to everything from that server so it’s easier to skip. They seem to like poop.
