@navi@novenary@icedquinn@lanodan I used to get in trouble for not paying attention in class and attempting to write BASIC programs in my notebooks instead
sometimes the mind is so hungry for these things the limitations are not as much of a barrier as people imagine
although I still think I'm a shit programmer and shouldn't be trusted with really important stuff 🙃
and then I remember being very impressed by Amarok but got super annoyed about it wanting a MySQL database and how awful that was. I just wanted it to use Postgres but I don't remember it ever supporting it
> When you buy a USB stick, what is the filesystem format?
FAT/exFAT is not a desktop OS filesystem, it's a removable storage filesystem. Neither is NFS or anything else you can think of that doesn't support hardlinks.
> Hard links also can't cross FS boundaries.
okay, but that's why you keep your Hydrus storage next to where you normally store these files... on the same filesystem...
> If people remove the images, what are you going to do? Are you going to track it to make sure it's the only link?
yeah it's actually quite easy I do it all the time
> What about writes in place, like tweaking the EXIF data?
I do this all the time with my music library and it doesn't break the hardlink and leave me with two different files?
like I literally suggested that this be an OPTION and you came in here firing in all directions like
"ACKCHYUALLY YOU CAN'T DO THAT BCAUSE I CAN INVENT AN INCOMPATIBLE USE CASE"
get a hobby and stop always trying to be the smartest person in the room, it's not a good look
> if car's make it past 2050, there won't be society to support them by 2100.
ok then just assume there won't be a society left because cars aren't going away
> Any society that invests in car infrastructure does so at the same expense or everything else. The US is the most fully invested, and it's going bankrupt because of it.
City and State governments can go bankrupt, but the Federal government cannot.
> there's just no way to make cars possible.
but somehow we did
> We live in a brief energy bubble that's only maintained by burning millions of years worth of hydrocarbons and exploiting most of the world. That can't, and won't, last forever.
Humanity will never use less energy. We will only use more energy.
> If we focus all of our efforts on eliminating cars wherever possible, completely getting them out of cities and suburbs, it may be possible to maintain a small number of cars for the "last mile" but even that's a dangerous proposition.
This is just delusional. Over 50% of the country lives far away from cities and we just won't have cars and roads anymore? Some alien race will come build rail to every community in America to save us?
Have you ever lived in rural America? My highschool was miles away from my home. I had to drive to school. They're not going to build light rail to every farm town in the next 75 years
Absolutely delusional thinking. I like your optimism but you are going to die very very disappointed if you think we're going to achieve that in your lifetime.
