There are some useful options which can be found in the rsync manual although knowing which are redundant or conflicting can be tricky. If you run with the ‘n’ option first it will dry run, then you can remove the n to do the needful.

rsync -navhP --no-compress --ignore-existing --mkpath source dest

-n dry-run, no changes are made
-a is for archive, which recursively preserves ownership, permissions etc.
-v is for verbose, so I can see what's happening (optional)
-h is for human-readable, so the transfer rate and file sizes are easier to read (optional)
-P show progress
--no-compress as there's no lack of bandwidth between local devices
--ignore-existing will skip updating files that exist on receiver 
-r is recursive, included in -a
--mkpath will create the destination's path component

It’s not like you have to worry about getting someone’s old poop knife. Nobody would ever get rid of that.

Counterpoint, attempting to appease and cater to racists is the Ratchet Effect in action. This hasn’t caused racists to actually vote for Democratic candidates, rather it simply moves the Overton Window rightward.

I have pretty much only black socks to make pairing easy, and if I detect loose strings or it getting thin that sock is gone. Socks are like a dollar and I’m not about to ruin my day with a holey sock.

My server runs Debian VMs in Proxmox on an i7-2600 which has a lower benchmark than the 6600k. I also used the Perfect Media Server guide, and have 2 x 8T data drives pooled with MergerFS with 1 for snapraid parity, these are passed through to the main VM from Proxmox using ‘qm set’. One thing I would often forget after deleting/restoring this VM was to run qm set again after restore, ensuring it has the flag to not back up those drives or else backups will fail and I have to go uncheck the backup option on each drive to fix it.

If I need to spin up another VM for tinkering it’s easy enough to mount the NFS share as a volume with docker compose. Proxmox rarely shows CPU usage go above 50% (average is 10%) and this handles the whole *arr stack plus usenet and torrents in a single VM and compose file. I don’t have GPU passthrough set up because the motherboard on this older rig didn’t support IOMMU, never had issues with Plex or Jellyfin transcoding for Chromecast. I might build a new rig with GPU passthrough support to buffer media faster and selfhost LLMs when I get around to it.

What’s the use of being god if every run-down schmuck with a two dollar prayer book can come along and fuck up your plan?

Absolutely zero chance this person recognizes Trump blew up the nuclear deal with Iran, simply because it was signed under Obama. Some of us are cursed with remembering the past.

I suspect that can be true, as the sheets are one-size-fits-all rather than measuring based on the size. Usually I run laundry before it’s too full to reduce increased noise in the closet near my office. If I ever notice it’s not getting clean when more full I’ll just throw 2 sheets in given how cheap they are

I’ll mention you can get detergent sheets and they work fine. No more messing with powders or liquids for me.

Is this how some people live? Install Plex or Jellyfin for your own sanity.

My parents are still very Mormon, which means being openly bigoted is bad manners. That said, I don’t think I ever visit without my dad saying something about climate change being a hoax, illegals voting in California, wildfires being part of some AntiFa conspiracy, etc. Can’t tell whether he sincerely believes this nonsense or is just trying to get a reaction. I try not to engage other than asking where he learned about it and how he’s tried to fact check it. These discussions are not productive, and I don’t visit unless it’s a major holiday or someone’s birthday.

If you don’t need realtime parity, I’ve had no issues on my media server running mismatched drives pooled via MergerFS with SnapRAID doing scheduled parity.

I bought an $800 half stack guitar amplifier in 2009 and rarely play with the volume above 1, let alone play shows with it. But it looks neat.

I would hope Nintendo is not using returned hardware for replacements. It happens accidentally in every job I’ve worked, but absolutely should not be the normal process.
