Woah, cool. Didn’t know there was a first party portable.

The Osborne? A fantastic machine for the time…

2 albums, so start with the first one, named Brothers of Metal. Emblas Saga picks up from there.

They’re very fun Norse themed songs.

They recently toured with gloryhammer and beast in black… And I wish I’d seen it live :⁠-⁠D

Really? Come to the C# side… We have all those, and concise code too.

Have you listened to any Brothers of Metal?

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.

Point, well made.

Curse you autocorrect!

So that’s a no, because you didn’t overanalyze you’re response to that question, leading to me having to do it for you and therefore failing your implied social contract.

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.

That’s because HS2 is a totally flawed, Ill thought out, over budget and badly managed boondoggle - just like everything in the UK rail system since the Beeching cuts in the 60’s. If it was properly run, well thought out - and actually made a significant difference in time (not approximately 15 minutes from Piccadilly to Euston), we’d support it.

I’m a huge reader, massive… like, I spent up until I was about 29, 30 or so going to the library every week or two and getting 10 books out every time (That was the most you could get). I’d have read them all, and be champing at the bit to go back well within the week… it was a regular trip for us to go.

I’ve never actually read the Never Ending Story, and I loved the movie… one of my favourite childhood movies.

Going to have to give it a read…
