Bernard Hill does look a lot alike in certain angles; never seen it before myself but you pointing it out and now I can’t not see it.

Well, now you’ve called it out, I’ve got to updeet it.

“Kei modernized their truck”.

Kei is a style of vehicle. This is like saying, “pickups modernized their truck”. So let’s try and understand what this misguided individual meant.

“The small vehicle that I saw had poor crash handling”. Perhaps, but that’s going to be on the individual vehicle, not a class, in the same way some small vehicles handle really well, and some fall over (remember the Mercedes A class, anyone?)

“The style of vehicle that is categorised by kei is impossible to secure, and all of them score zero”. I’d love to see evidence of this, if you’ve got any. A modern kei-style car, the Honda E 2020 has a euro NCAP 4* rating - not the best, but not zero, and that’s just the first one I found.

Sadly, kei trucks are not commonly for sale in the UK or US, so I can’t find ratings for them. There’s no reason they can’t be made as safe as other small vehicles, only a market preference for larger vehicles.

No you haven’t…

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.

Gives me, “right you primitive screw heads” vibes.

You are rubber, I am glue!

Heat pumps are, at heart, not special. They’re air conditioning units, rated to run both ways. That’s it. This is just bullshit.

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.

The bad ones…

Ahem… I think you mean, “hexagons are the bestagons”

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.

Good luck with the update in (if I’m right in the timezone calculation) a couple of hours…

I’m with you on the black towers. Still rocking an Antec P120 on my wife’s PC - “the monolith” it got nicknamed.

Sounds like GDPR / HFEA / other medical or significant legal body. They often also give nice fat juicy bonuses to people who report problems that get looked into, and if a company self-reports will often overlook issues provided there’s a serious attention to cleaning shit up.

ignored ;)

I’m afraid I don’t have time to look, or I’d try and diagnose the issue myself… It’s an awesome resource I’ll be making use of though!

C# 404’s - possibly some encoding issue?
