I’m not familiar with using USB drives, but on any bare-metal system don’t use /dev/sdX but instead use /dev/disk/by-id/<big long disk identifier> in your fstab/cryptab etc. Even if you switch ports/bays, or your devices come up in a weird order after a reboot, config always points to the same physical disk. Way less stuff breaks.

God they’re so expensive now. I bought a 24-port backplane for $37 like 3 years ago and the same one is now $120

Are those posts/comments/images available on other instances?

If an instance just shuts down, we just lose all that content? Sounds like a pretty fatal flaw.

Rent seeking, theft/copyright infringement, walled garden you can’t escape (if Microsoft holds all your files good luck getting them back on Linux)

Microsoft needs to die.

Hey guys not to be a downer but like…what DO we do when a federated instance goes down and takes all its content with it?

The ads are not part of the stored video file, they are sent in as chunks of the stream in place of the actual video. When the ad is done, the regular video starts playing again. They are not “editing in” anything to be permanently stored as part of an uploaded video.

Imagine thinking they can’t detect when you try to skip forward during an ad.
