Meta post I've decided to make. I enjoyed the unixporn subreddit a lot when I used reddit more. I enjoy customizing my linux de as much as the next nerd.

But you definitely shouldn't use racist slang to refer to the process.

To be clear, I didn't know the origin of the term 'ricing' until fairly recently. I was chattimg with my friend and used it to describe my de setup. They informed me that apparently it's from car customization, and is a pejorative against generally asian men who customize their car to look like a racecar.

After learning this I was sad to realize just how engrained it is in linux de customization culture. I personally have stopped using the term, and I would ask everyone here stop as well.

I remember it vaguely from when I was a kid. Given that ranma 1/2 was one of the series responsible for transing my gender and I have a doggie enby partner now, maybe I should rewatch it.

More like I'll put it on at night when I'm high as shit playing a bideo gaym as background noise cause there's just a fuckton of it.

I'd like to know as well, I saw one of their posters recently and was thinking of reaching out to them. Would like to know a bit more first though.

Take this with a grain of salt, cause I did a rig upgrade not too long ago, and was accidentally shipped far more drives than I ordered, so my storage space is silly.

Instead of replacing the drive in your machine, maybe try getting a nas or something. You can store a lot of your files there and keep the drive in your rig for things that need to be fast, like games. Also, I usually base my storage increase purposes based on how much room I need for backups. If there isn't enough room for me to do a full compressed backup, it's time to add more. Besides that, I replace the drive with most of the other parts in one large upgrade.

Bitcoin is for buying drugs, and there are better cryptos for it anyways. You shoulda drained that sucker and got so much research chemicals and fenty that any cop approaching you explodes into confetti.

I also want to throttle the entire unicode consortium but it's because they don't have an emoji for just soup.

Oooooh, I haven't watched that in a while. I'm glad it's the classic one, I really didn't care for that revival attempt tbh.

He also has a wife and kids. And he makes terrible food for them. In the propaganda war to convince people the british have bad food, he is god's strongest soldier. He also programs in the despicable c# language.

I'm glad it' working well for you, but I don't think it' true to say that btrfs gets beyond its fair share of flak. It gets the exactly correct amount of flak for what it is. Every place I have worked at that wanted to deploy a COW fs on like, a NAS or server, has always gone with zfs. btrfs is such a mess it never even enters the conversation. Even if it can have its bugs ironed out, the bcache dev was right in pointing out that its on disk formats are poorly designed for their job, and cannot be revised except in a new version of the entire fs. I hope bcachefs gets merged into the kernel next year, that's a filesystem I would actually trust with my data.
