you are everything that’s wrong with the internet.

sports news, get off your high horse.

i have a mastodon account but it’s completely useless for me.

the only thing i use twitter for is to follow updates and news from professional journalists and artists who are not on mastodon and likely will never be. if your job depends on twitter, switching to mastodon is not going to happen.

if i want to engage with random average people, i come here to lemmy.

“shalt” implies must, so not smoking the church actually would have been a sin.

it’s a meme, so obviously it’s hyperbolic. but the point is valid.

then what is your solution? do you expect them to redo their entire corporate branding palette?

i think they did need to unify the design and branding but i also agree they went too far with it. if they had only chosen 1-2 colors for each app icon that would have helped a lot.

gmail - red

drive - yellow

maps - green

meet - blue

calendar - lighter blue

problem solved

no, that’s my point. it’s not even close to something that actually happens.

I get that the beverage, camera, and eyeglasses are all a bit exaggerated from stuff that actually happens

I get that the beverage, camera, and eyeglasses are all a bit exaggerated from stuff that actually happens, but I’ve been playing guitar for over 20 years and have literally never heard of anyone passing a guitar by holding its strings. That makes no sense even if you’re just being lazy, the neck is a much easier place to handle a guitar from.

I mean they invested into R&D to develop it, I think it’s fair for them to have exclusive rights to sell it to recoup that investment and make a profit. This is a novelty item, not like an essential staple food or medication.

the dude asks about SSD cash for torrents and your multimillion-dollar answer is “raid”. lol

as people have already pointed out multiple times, what OP wants is something like mergerfs or unraid which can handle files on SSD cash and then move to spinning disks later.

wtf does raid have to do with anything here? yeah, sure, I’m the slow one.

or you could, you know, think about it for a second from their point of view. and they have already clarified this in other comments.

what is the point of faster download if you just have to do another entire copy after that?

but if the disk is actually bottlenecking at 40MB/s it will still take time to copy from the SSD. That plus the initial download to SSD will just end up being more time than downloading to the spinning disk at 40MB/s in the first place.

what OP wants is to download the file to a SSD, be able to use it on the SSD for a time, and then have the file moved to spinning disk later when they don’t need to wait for it.

this is just adding an extra step to the process before the file can be available to use. you’re just saving the copying to the HDD until the very end of the torrent.

can you copy files to it from another local disk?

agreed, I think there is something else going on here. test the write speed with another application, I doubt the drive actually maxes out at 40MB/s unless it’s severely fragmented or failing.

incidentally what OP wants is how most people set up Unraid servers. SSD cache takes incoming files for write speed, then at a later time the OS moves the files to the spinning disk array.

they’re also dirty as fuck.
