01:12 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.thelayoff.com | Jan 17 - post regarding Microsoft Corp. layoffs

01:12 schestowitz-TR; many employees look for info

01:13 schestowitz-TR; if they get their info from TR (e.g. videos) it might convince them to leave

01:13 schestowitz-TR; or to not be loyal to the employer

04:45 schestowitz-TR; one about epo

04:45 schestowitz-TR; another about user input in gemini

04:45 schestowitz-TR; friday, so "Slow" news expected

04:45 schestowitz-TR; plus us holiday ahead, so "long" weekend

06:41 schestowitz-TR; geert says one video from last summer does not have the hashsum it says

06:41 schestowitz-TR; i checked the server

06:41 schestowitz-TR; it's different

06:41 schestowitz-TR; and my local copy of the file has the same sum as shown in the post

06:41 schestowitz-TR; so I wonder if many a bit flipped

06:41 schestowitz-TR; the video (webm) plays ok

09:44 techrigthssec; No idea about the bit flipping but with large files on giant file systems

09:44 techrigthssec; it can be an issue. Thus the interest in OpenZFS and BtrFS. I hope the

09:44 techrigthssec; latter gets up to speed soonish.

09:46 schestowitz-TR; we should soon get fibre

09:46 schestowitz-TR; then I can probably get better backup of the sites and faster

09:46 schestowitz-TR; if needed, older backups can make up for 'rotting' files

09:47 schestowitz-TR; running a site for 12 months and 20+ years is very different

09:47 schestowitz-TR; we now have a new generation that does not grasp the concept of having to bakc up photograph

09:47 schestowitz-TR; and properly

09:47 schestowitz-TR; or have no access to old photos within a decade or less

09:47 schestowitz-TR; many consider it "normal" to lose all the old photos

09:47 schestowitz-TR; or rely on muskdom or twitter or "gulag" (whetever product is offered for storing files

09:47 schestowitz-TR; before shutting down for financial reasons)

09:47 schestowitz-TR; like picasa web (my sister foolishly used that)

09:50 techrigthssec; Decade? More like a few months. :/

09:50 schestowitz-TR; "i don't have those photos anymore; I bought the latest model of a phone, so..."

14:01 techrigthssec; Stopping the tm gallery scraping, it seems to be going into a near infinite

14:01 techrigthssec; combination of links. Will make a local backup of the scrape and then

14:01 techrigthssec; try de-duplicating based on hash and use hardlinks in place of duplicate files
