The lore is deep, the Johannine stuff influential but there is tons of others.

From the Books of Daniel, Ezekiel, the Enochian tradition, the apocalypses of Peter, Adam, Paul, John, Gog and Magog etc.

Around Pseudo-Methodius and Qur'an, look to the east, kinda time seems to when it notches up a gear all the ways to the joys of US rapture obsession, Watchtower, LDS, George Romero, Resident Evil and all that good stuff.

Reading over Michael Penn's early sources on Islam and the end seemed rather real for a few peeps

 

Appreciating the marketing of a new food place that's popped up a few blocks from McDonald's.

Are you sure on that?

Jain, Buddhist, Hindu, Manichaeists, Monasticism etc might want a word.

Maybe also bear in mind it's perhaps the industrial revolution and massive scale animal abuse that's led to the average pleb expecting daily meat instead of daily bread.

It's dark age Europe, because of the chuch.

Aquinas apologetics in there too, yay.

Fortunately no one owns the period or phrase and we are free to call dark age Europe dark age Europe if we wish, and I couldn't give a fuck if someone with a sticker thinks otherwise.

Academia as everything else runs on trends, fashions and the needs of the masses, even those that don't go to masses anymore.

I don't think that's mediation.

I can get into 'the zone' swimming and cycling, but that's great fun. Meditation is exhausting, hard work and often leaves me more pissed off than when I started.

Thanks, I do have backups of important stuff.

I think bcachefs is what I'm looking for, but I'm gonna wait a bit until development calms down a little and keep on the way I am at the moment.

Thanks,

bcachefs could be the answer but I don't really want my data on a fs I need this week's kernel to access properly. Maybe I should just hold off for a few months.

I'm not monitoring the drives, I have backups of important stuff...but would be nice to tag more important stuff amongst the mediocre stuff on the off chance both drives don't fail at the same time.

Keep on firetruckin'

 

I have a pi4 running on an ssd over usb3 with a usb3 dock that has 2x2TB drives for storage.

At the moment I have mainly music on one and mainly video on the other, with important stuff on both and elsewhere.

Is it sensible to combine 2x2TB hdd's via usb3 dock into a 4TB filesystem/pool/volume/thing......and if so can I have tiered storage so if one drive fails the other will have a mirror of important stuff?

I just found the visual jarring and yeah it's weird, don't think I made it far. Might have to spin it up again, something my 2010 macbook can handle!

Dark Seed 2

Jesus, that's a blast from the past. I don't recall it being the most immersive video game experience, Clive Barker won the weird 90's horror game thing.

 

The bass player in Zbigniew Namysłowski is fucking awesome, first time in a while I've really heard the bass stand out all they way through tunes.

Getting knee deep into Mingus at the moment but

curious for bass heavy recommendations?

 

I did not know about this.

I like H R Giger, I like Debbie Harry.

How did it take 'till 2024 for me to stumble upon this?

Nice pic, been a few years since I've seen any but always a joy to find ☺️

 

Just say no

Seen many puffballs in this area, but never like this. Today they were everywhere.

 

 

Been wanting to get my hands on one of these for a long time.

Found three big ones, which was nice 🙂

 

Transcoding anything >720p is painful.

I run ancient hardware for desktop/laptop >10yrs old apple stuff running linux. I consume media mainly via rpi4 or android.

What's a minimum level system capable of trans-coding 4k video to x265 in at the very least real time? Is there a tiny trans-coding device out there somewhere?

Would a NUC do? How old or new to churn out 4k x265

Can I avoid hardware? Are cloud gpu's a thing?

 

Dog for scale

 

Will be doing a fresh install on an old laptop in the near future and was considering trying wayland.

Can you recommend a decent & light window manager & terminal emulator?

I've played around with wayland but always ended up back on xorg, was gonna give it another shot.
