According to the man(8) page, it will avoid touching any blocks that have the chattr -f flag set, which is XSR_XFLAGS_NODEFRAG… So I think if the docs are still accurate to the code, yes.

A lot of ifs in that assumption.

I understood that XFS automatically mounted SSD’s with XFS_XFLAG_NODEFRAG set? Is this not the case?

That’s because the drive was written to its limits; the defrag runs a TRIM command that safely releases and resets empty sectors. Random reads and sequential reads /on clean drives that are regularly TRIMmed/ are within random variance of each other.

Source: ran large scale data collection for a data centre when SSDs were relatively new to the company so focused a lot on it, plus lots of data from various sectors since.

Oh fuck yes. I remember reading about this year’s ago, glad to see it’s still going ahead.

Time to catch up on the lore. And by that I mean watch some kick ass videos again.

I always remember that it’s eXtract Ze File, tar -xzf… But I’ll be honest, I’ve not used it in years and years

The “other little bit” is the year - 19 means model year 2019. It might be out anywhere between late 18 and early 20.

For many years, I had a l dell U2408WFP - 24", 2008 model year, wide-screen, forget what f was, professional. Was an awesome monitor. Last year, I moved up to 2 matched LG 32" 4K’s, but I won’t remember their naming system now, let alone in 16 years.

I’ve got Braid. Played it, enjoyed it, moved on. Why would I buy it again to listen to someone rambling over it? Some AI upscaled graphics? What’s the point?

This is so me… “Start to think about it, not sure how to start, brain ‘slides off’ it, do something else”…

If I can get a hook into it, I can move onwards (even a task list is good)…

Then again, as I get older, I’m feeling even less motivated than usual and it’s harder to get on with things.

Bloody hell. Trim yer pubes.

I do it regularly… I particularly like 4.

In all seriousness, I use it when I need to time something - 32 on one hand means one minute (approximately) with two rotations. I started when trying to determine if my daughter was asleep, waiting for a minute after she’d last moved or talked, and I didn’t want a screen or light or noise to wake her (she’s always been hard to get to sleep).

So - yeah it’s a tiny bit tricky to do some combos, but no more than touch typing.

He’s an inbred German dickhead, he doesn’t have one

One of the biggest sells for gamepass and cloud gaming (assuming you’ve got a wired network). Shaving ~250GB+ (Given the cache and update downloads) is a hard sell, and I’ve got 6TB of NVME installed.

You mean a de-Celeron?

Heh… I started building in the late-90’s with a custom 486-sx. Went from that to a Pentium 100, then to an AMD-K6-II at 233, then to another AMD I forget… then to an i5-2500K in 2011. That build hit the sweet spot, and with just graphics card, memory and drive upgrades stayed roughly the same until I bought this -7-10700K last year… that’s now got 4Tb of nVME and 8tb of SSD, no spinning rust, and a 3070. I would like to upgrade the graphics card as I’ve got 2x 4K monitors and gaming is a bit sluggish at times on 4K, but… I just can’t justify the upgrade price to a graphics card that could improve. So, I’ll wait another gen, and probably get either a 4080 when the 5x series is out, or wait until the 5x series 5070-eqivalent is at a reasonable price. Other than increasing storage, I don’t see any other demands for CPU or GPU coming this console generation…

Millenium Hand and Shrimp! Buggrit… Buggrit I Say!

Can it go back to Codemasters where it’s meant to be, please? TOCA Touring Cars is still awesome, however many years on it is.

Yeah, doesn’t work for me, with either spikespaz or Spike Spaz. Shame.

These are fun… a pretty interesting take from Bing/Dall-E. Did have to make the prompt, “Make me an image of LazerFX carrying a garbage bag spilling out iPad boxes, running through a target backroom” in order to get it to generate.
