Switch to Debian and i3wm and never be bothered again by this type of nonsense. PC = Personal Computer. Make other choices and regain your sovereignty and privacy.

I switched to Mac 20 years ago out of sheer frustration over the total lack of coordination between hardware and software, the frothing at the mouth obsession over excessive backwards compatibility over good design, privacy and security, and hardware that isn't total rainbow blinky light horseshit.

But I try to keep abreast of whats happening on the other side of the fence and I am often recoiling in horror and wondering why the fuck Windows users tolerate any of this.

If it wasn’t for the forced cloud integration, forced AI and other user-hostile behaviour, Windows 11 would actually be quite a nice OS.

It’s performant, easy to manage at scale, a lot of the UX weirdness from Windows 8-10 has been cleaned up, and tools like WSL are well integrated.

Windows 11 is not performant, it's sluggish in a lot of places and everything got slower on the same or even better hardware. And I will never not laugh about having two context menus. Windows 8 was way faster even on low-end hardware thanks to DirectUI.

And won't be charged for ingres, egress or IOPS etc, it's better than bad, it's good. Happy times.

Add ZeroFS on top and get very low latency for frequently used data while bulk storage is remote S3.

No pictures?

Interesting, can I use SeaweedFS as bucket provider?

If SeaweedFS supports conditional PUTs, yes.

It claims to have it: https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/wiki/S3-Conditional-O...

The amazing science based map for minetest comes to mind:

The server that has moved countless Petabytes is glFTPd that allows FXP ( clients without bandwidth can initiate to transfer files from server to server ).

That’s a built-in feature of FTP that doesn’t require server support.

Edit: Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_eXchange_Protocol#Technic...

1. You connect to servers A and B.

2. Tell B to receive a PASV transfer. It replies with the IP address and port it's receiving on.

3. Tell A to send to that address and port.

This is documented in RFC 959, starting with

  "In another situation a user might wish to transfer files between two hosts, neither of which is a local host."

Today I learned something new, thx!

Please let us reproduce these beautiful pictures, can you share the sources?

I'd love to see them iterating the values and show the animated versions!

Thanks! Reliving childhood memories

Live some new adulthood ones, too!
