@tek I can see why it wasn't appropriate for 1969. Definitely would have been a late 70s or early 80s thing.

@tek oh, wow, that was pretty bad. Still watched it all...

@jwz please please please tell me you'll start doing this...

@dalias @aburka that many small files is going to be the worst performance ever. If you can consolidate in a tarball, a zip, a rat, even without compression, before copying, you'll see a huge performance increase. This was my bane when I had to do backups on a PB of data across many multi-TB volumes. Weeks. When they moved to "archive" and I consolidated them, hours to write the same data to WORM tapes. It's the open/read/close cycle. Open/close are fixed times, so more is slower.

@silverwizard I'll never begrudge someone spending their free time on something they enjoy. At the same time, for *me*, some things became better to buy vs build, for my own valuation of my free time. But that's a me decision, not something I expect others to adhere to, like building a NAS or something.

@hacks4pancakes maybe a little too grounded...

@feditips sadly, very few people younger than me know why the "one choice" is called a "radio button"...
