Makes oddly sense in the sounds of guinea pigs.

Get black market explosives so I can blow up my brains and don’t risk becoming a zombie.

Personally, I’m worried and empathetic towards the good people affected in USA. Leaning back and enjoying the show when republican voters get their faces eaten by leopards. Not too worried about how it will affect us economically as it just is another maelstrom of international turbulence going on. Everything is quite unstable and unpredictable right now so it’s just another chaotic parameter. Unfortunately the sum of it all is paving the road for fascism to rise here as well when people feel unsafe and want order and vote for the ones with the loudest and easiest solutions to everything that is complex and scary. I think my social circles are pretty much the same, give or take some details.

Spend time with my dog. Call mum daily. Party with friends, all on me.

Basically, yeah. Bind the “local” path on boot and then have systemd triggers for when USB mounts and unmounts to swap them automatically.

(Personally I wouldn’t do it like this though because it will become trouble with any open files or shell or whatever in a path that is replaced by a different mount.)

The easy solution would be to have a third common mount point for the two that is switched if the external drive is connected or not.

You have a point.

Would you mind elaborating?

Edit; I got curious and checked out some post history. It’s a tankie. No need to bother then. It will just be arrogance and smug insults and world history that strangely nobody except other tankies find truthful.

If China becomes democratic it is no longer China anywhere as we know it. The agenda is still, AFAIK, that the totalitarian regime is necessary for another undisclosed amount of time with the end goal to transition into full communism.

The problem is of course that the party elite quite enjoy this position they are in and are in no hurry for any societal transitions in any direction whatsoever.

So, in my mind, your question is at best some imaginary world building for a fictional scenario that has no connection with reality.

Yeah, all right you convinced me. Look how the political engagement of other people was not enough against the masses that fell for coordinated misinformation. Surely it would make no difference if more people were to be active in politics or society or environmentalism or activism or information or anything else. All we can do is to wait for another somebody else go vigalante so we can enjoy some brief parasocial justice boner circlejerk. Everybody that suggests otherwise ruins our cynical doomer misanthropic apathy wankfest. Shame on them. Boo. Downvotes. Everything is hopeless forever.

So be the change then.

My mind was on Unix systems with real time kernels from a time when Windows were but openings in the wall or roof of buildings or vehicles, fitted with glass in a frame to admit light or air and allow people to see out. And later Linux.

I think banking is the old standard example of real time kernel needs. Money goes in, numbers go up, no time to explain the tide.

It’s pretty distant now, but I did imagine it from a user perspective to be something like a folder structure except you can “tag along” as you go, so that you can find the files from your subjective chain of association rather than remembering how the project is set up. Say to reach the file;

• /project/year/keyword 1/keyword 2/file
• /keyword 2/year/project/keyword 3/file

Consequently, you could have all relevant files collected or filtered depending on how you set up your paths like searching a database rather than keep track of different data structures of different department needs and such.

So you could call it a mind map of sorts.

My entry level experiments were with just “tags” (the keywords) but I imagined a file system that would incorporate everything filesystem like permissions, creation/modification dates, and next gen like file history, integration with custom content parsing and version control systems and stuff that are partially reality today with COW filesystems.

Oh, how interesting. Yeah, I did some very basic prototyping with a WebDAW (online storage technology that was popular by the time), but I was mostly interested in the concept that the actual execution of it. And I didn’t have massive amounts of data in numerous files so no practical motivation either.

Watched the first video. Interesting.

Reminds me of when I realized some twenty years ago that hierarchical filesystems are just a convention and I was daydreaming about a dynamic database-like filesystem where files are stored with meta data in tags that could be addressed according to whatever your chain of association may be. I even conceptual a bridge of how common OS like Windows or Linux could connect and interface such a file system using the familiar system of slashes transparently for the user with all the benefits and none of additional complicated learning. Of course this was way beyond any technical scope of mine and I didn’t bring it to attention beyond nerdy beer conversation.

Maybe I was on to something.

We have new version out!

Oh, that’s good I guess. So… what’s new?

We can not tell you yet.

Would I be pretty and daft enough to not overthink and complicate everything and to finally be happy?

Ok then. Let me be a himbo. The ladies may take advantage.
