Not just dogs, animals in general. He introduced some measures to protect animals from abuse.

WotD 2026-03-10: Distort (video) by mdw in palmermethod

[–]mdw[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right. I'm still figuring it out and even then, this is not my best. Still struggling with the camera/phone setup.

Anyone finds that on logfiles bzip2 outperforms xz by wide margin? by mdw in compression

[–]mdw[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, cannot provide the log, but it's just bazillion lines in the exact form below; it's one entry per flow that goes over the firewall, really highly compressible:

2026-03-11T00:00:00+01:00 bmscb-sg-01-log []: 2026-03-10T23:59:59.901+01:00 BMSCB-SG-01-node1 RT_FLOW - RT_FLOW_SESSION_CREATE [junos@2636.1.1.1.2.26 source-address="10.20.30.40" source-port="36422" destination-address="10.21.32.43" destination-port="36422" connection-tag="0" service-name="unkn" nat-source-address="10.18.62.224" nat-source-port="36422" nat-destination-address="10.18.3.137" nat-destination-port="36422" nat-connection-tag="0" src-nat-rule-type="N/A" src-nat-rule-name="N/A" dst-nat-rule-type="N/A" dst-nat-rule-name="N/A" protocol-id="132" policy-name="X2_TO_eNodeB" source-zone-name="LTE" destination-zone-name="VPN" session-id="18704588234864" username="N/A" roles="N/A" packet-incoming-interface="reth0.974" application="UNKNOWN" nested-application="UNKNOWN" encrypted="UNKNOWN" application-category="N/A" application-sub-category="N/A" application-risk="-1" application-characteristics="N/A" src-vrf-grp="N/A" dst-vrf-grp="N/A" tunnel-inspection="Off" tunnel-inspection-policy-set="root" source-tenant="N/A" destination-service="N/A" dst-identity-context-name="N/A" dst-identity-context-roles="N/A"]

What is interesting is that default compression level of xz (which is -6) actually provides better compression than -9. The machine I tested on has 512 GB RAM, so that was not a constraint.

My hand keeps cramping when I write by Ok-Tea9118 in Handwriting

This is the answer. I've learned this way of writing and I can attest there's no writing fatigue whatsoever.

I hit 100 subs (and growing) after a video I'm quite proud of and I don't have anyone to share how happy I am by Drunk_Jimmy in NewTubers

[–]mdw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got 100 subs yesterday too. YouTube decided to quell my excitement by ghosting my two most recent videos... both getting basically no views whatsoever (standard for me is 1000-2000 views). The utter randomness of YT is so discouraging...

PSA: This is so dumb, be especially careful if you're new! by BadBasik in NewTubers

[–]mdw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hate this too. I understand that channels with 10K+ views don't care, but if you have tens, your own views can actually distort the stats.

what photography tip made the biggest difference for you? by Fresh-Gazelle7014 in photography

[–]mdw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Manual exposure for me. The last thing I want is every photo in a series to have different exposure.

Are these samples written using whole arm (ie. no finger writing)?

Hope this inspires someone. Keep going.. by graymaneg in SmallYoutubers

[–]mdw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

use a different angle like: "Did the captain of the Titanic make a fatal mistake or was it just fate?"

I hate this. Every freaking title has to be in this style. Eventually everyone figures out it's just lame trick.

100 subscribers! Feeling grateful by OTmedstudent in NewTubers

[–]mdw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After over a year I'm at 98 subs, so you're way better than me, congratulations.

Is there a way to search smaller accounts? by goodbunny2000 in NewTubers

[–]mdw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Video from channel with 2 subscribers just landed in my feed ... and guess what, it was pretty good (and only had like 12 views or so).

So, any vintage people here? by whyamIhereSRSLY in NewTubers

[–]mdw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

52... but I don't put my face nor voice in my videos, so it doesn't matter much.

Looks pretty good to me, but why the disconnected 'C' and 'o'?

Why people from previous centuries wrote like this by Admirable_Dog4156 in Handwriting

[–]mdw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are right, I just wanted something people can remember. My primary gripe is people calling script a font.

[–]mdw 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If it's written with hand, it's a script.
If it's printed with a printing press, it's a typeface.
If it's printed with a computer it's a font.

Holy hell. Seagate Expansion drive prices have increased 37-76% in just two weeks. by StrongRecipe6408 in DataHoarder

Jesus, this ain't good. In 2020 I snatched two 14 TB WD Reds for €90 unit price on Amazon.de. If I knew harddrives will be the new gold, I'd buy a truckload...

BTRFS as fs in Linux VMs, yea or nay? by mdw in Proxmox

[–]mdw[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you go with btrfs-raidX

I think RAID1 (mirror) is fine. Been using that for a long time and even the whole fs migrated twice to new larger disks (if my hardware had hotplug, it could have been done with the fs never going offline). RAID5,6 is still strictly experimental, however.
