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.

@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

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!
