Okay but seriously: Should I NTFS? People are saying the Linux NTFS driver is "pretty good" "perfectly adequate" is "adequate" what I'm looking for with my backup HD
@mcc I've had some issues with NTFS, mostly if my computer crashes, I need to boot into Windows and do
chkdsk /fon them to repair them. Other than that it works mostly fine.Steam on Linux does not seem to like NTFS (I've had a couple of games work on NTFS but loads more not) but if it's just for archival I guess that won't be an issue?

@rotopenguin @Foritus Okay.
Assuming I understand these things in principle but not in detail and am looking for actual help— used to, when I used macs, I could create a "Sparse Bundle Disk Image" and it was like a hard drive in a file, which could grow and and shrink returning space to the host disk as it shrank, and could be encrypted, and could be compressed. Is this a thing I can do from Linux? What's the best way? (Assume for this one question I no longer care about Windows.)
@mcc @rotopenguin @Foritus I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Mac OS sparse bundle shrink.
A ZFS bitstream file works roughly that way, though it’s not carved up into smaller, FAT32-friendly chunks. You get one using ‘zfs send’, and you should be able to mount it directly. I don’t personally use btrfs, but I would expect it to have similar capabilities.
Shrinking such a file when data is removed would involve another ‘zfs send’ operation to a new file on the disk, so you would need at least the size of the file in free space.

@wild1145@mastodonapp.uk that's completely fair. I can certainly understand the risk in suggesting an instance whose uptime and longevity you cannot guarantee.
FWIW I am a developer working on ActivityPub integration in NodeBB, a forum software. I am active in AP development circles and am committed to ensuring the properties I host stick around. The differentiator with us is that you can get more of that medicine-focused feel due to our focus on local categories/feeds, while maintaining the global fediverse connection. 🙂

@andre123 penso di aver trovato il tuo "kit" su amazon. Hai dovuto saldare i pin (sono sicuro non sia il nome giusto...) tra scheda e schermo? @snow

@julian 100%, we've provided some links in our e-mail to resources for migrating in general, there's nothing we can do obviously to push accounts out to other instances and all we've done is stood up fedimedi.com because we wanted to be able to let folks move their posts (And Mastodon doesn't currently have a way to make that work). I've pointed folks to our other instances because obviously I know they're sticking around for a while where we're maintaining them.

Hi @wild1145@mastodonapp.uk, can we discuss having postcall.pub in the loop to serve as a landing zone for people leaving med-mastodon?
NodeBB Inc. (through me) is funding and maintaining this instance. It was built out specifically for the needs of that community when the site was first at risk of disconnection.
It result sucks that you are not able to get the domain sorted out. I empathize fully!

@wild1145@mastodonapp.uk @wild1145@universeodon.com Thanks Ryan
I’ve tagged him in a post on BlueSky in the hope he will connect with you.
I really don’t want to migrate.
Appreciate you keeping things going for March so I can put off the pain just a little longer :).
