Well, I’ve found some of the answer.

/volume1 is a single LV on a single VG - no surprise there. There are two PVs comprising it, each of which is a RAID5 group across an extended partition on the disks.

pv0 is /dev/sd[abcd]5 and pv1 is /dev/sd[abcd]6

Now what I find most interesting right now is that SHR supposedly required btrfs to operate - and yet, /volume01 is an ext4 filesystem.

Part of me would like to convert to btrfs, but I’d need a spare 10TB of storage just to back up to, before starting down that odyssey.

More digging, more questions.

Absolutely true.

I don’t believe for a second that Google and Reddit give a shit, though. Untilbwe see a company destroyed for violating the GDPR, they’ll just consider the risk of fines part of the cost of doing business.

So many…

• loading (from cassette!) and playing Adventure on a PET 4008. It was breathtaking! The first truly immersive gaming experience.
• Wolf 3D on my first x86 machine. I hooked up the modem from my old Atari 400, and went looking for shareware. I had no idea what I was in for.
• DOOM! I spent all bloody day trying to download the two shareware floppy images on the University campus, and a few hours tweaking the boot disk to get it running. Then the game started, and I played until I had to go to work the next morning.
• Crying at the end of Grim Fandango. I play the game through every year or so, and my eyes still water up at the end.
• Dark Age of Camelot - my first MMORPG. Hundreds of people in guilds and armies, organizing in real-time. It was fantastic. (until the script kiddies took over)

I was active - and I mean ACTIVE - on reddit for well over a decade. When the API fiasco happened, I deleted my mobile apps, and stuck to desktop. When ‘opt out of selling your data’ became impossible, I logged out for good.

Lemmy is both better and worse than reddit ever was. It will likely never reach the same activity level, but will also not reach the same toxicity.

Teams doesn’t work in the first place.

I love KeepassXC, but I use Keepass2android on my phone. Do you know how it compares to KeepassDX?

Again?

Step one: stop listening to anything from Ziff-Davis.
