Hey fediversians, what are your recommendations for an easy to use peer to peer messenger?

What in the world is wrong with this machine?

Something as simple as syncthing running, an apt upgrade, or even just doing a dd of a gigabyte from /dev/zero to a junk file can cause the system load to scream up to 10 (quad-core system), and it starts freezing.

Do I have a dodgy SSD???

Update 1: I am using full disk encryption (LUKS)

Update 2: gsmartcontrol output https://bin.benjaminhollon.com/fersimebia

Update 3: I'm going to try copying everything over to a spare SSD later.

@RL_Dane Are you using disk encryption or software raid?

I've used both, and I do not recommend either for this and other reasons. Especially not both at once.

Also make sure you've got plenty of free space. Modern file systems absolutely freak the hell out if you don't have plenty of free space.

@RL_Dane I'm not saying it's definitely related to the encryption. On account of I'm a know nothing moron with no right to say anything for sure.

But I've had no end of problems with disk encryption. But then, I'm a know nothing moron, so that is the expected thing to happen with anything I touch.

Ok, as broken as youtube is on a low res screen, it's even more unusable on a high res screen, as the "includes payed promotion" banner that only appears once your cursor is hovering over the video thumbnail, is nearly as big as the video thumbnail, and takes you to a useless help page instead of the video

@falken @frameworkcomputer dunno then, but on my laptop with a 13" 1080P screen, that message takes up half the thumbnail

Just be glad we ain't all using "an't."

New post: "The Toxicity Dance"
https://rldane.space/the-toxicity-dance.html

This one may trigger some, but I tried to make it very impartial.

Shout out to the excellent @joel for tone-checking it for me before I published it.

@RL_Dane I think this is a problem every "community" has, as I hear the same thing about every interest I have. I tend to avoid considering interests as "communities" because of it

I'm just a weirdo who likes to listen to the music I like to listen to, I fiddle with computer stuff that intrigues me, watch children's media, etc. I'll probably blabber on about it, and anyone who likes can sure listen. If I offend I'll probably apologize profusely if I know you get reflexively defensive if I don't

OpenComputeDesign,
@OpenComputeDesign@linuxrocks.online avatar

@RL_Dane ...Is my thought process this time. If I read it again and feel like replying, I'll probably have a different line of reasoning every time. I've got the consistency of of a true RNG :P

It's a serious flaw I have that genuinely leads me to just debating myself and the things I've said moments earlier on and on ad-nausium.
But I digress, and this was absolutely not the time and place to have an existential crisis...

@RL_Dane I have had people yell at me trying to convince me of the very opinion I shared, simply because I implied it was possible they might be offended by my sharing of my opinion :P

@RL_Dane The majority of people I meet here are quite decent. Even many of the people I get into arguments are decent except when we both happen to collide at just the wrong mood it seems

@RL_Dane @dgar I put some stuff in boxes this time last year, and both myself and the rest of my family have been cursing me out ever since as it's such a pain to go digging through boxes :P

@RL_Dane @dgar Oh, well, no, it's not a system that works very well at all, no. But it works better than any other system, so :P

@Linux_in_a_Bit I refuse! I don't want security to be tied to forced change of feature set anymore! I still miss big orange button firefox! And besides, I can't be arsed :P Updates always break everything

Don't worry, I use Tor for everything I shouldn't be doing anyway

🎶 Why do you beam me up (beam me up) beam me up, Scotty, just to beam me down. And beam me around, and then worst of all (worst of all) you never beam, Scotty, when you saw you will (say you will). But I need you still. I need you (I need you) more than anyone, Scotty, you know that I have from the staaar-trek. So beam me up (beam me up) beam me up, don't break my Spock.🎶

:blobcatthink: I wonder if there's an easy way to boot from one of those ultra low-latency 16GB Intel Optane modules while keeping my home directory on a separate, much larger but less quick drive...

@Linux_in_a_Bit mount the optane as / and the normal ssd as /home/ ?
