not even the regular LTFS bullshit, just Windows going "hurr durr this is a spinning hard drive, right? multi-threaded writes on seperate platters are possible, right? durrrrrr"

I'm in the same boat there as I am with The Boys: I'm here to see rising action and increasing batshit insanity culminating in an orgy of cathartic violence that causes the spectacular deaths of the hive mind (Pluribus) and Homelander (The Boys)

the longer that's drawn out, the worse the show gets.

do you know what the security setup is on my homeserver? it's two-factor and uses rate limiting.

this is *basic* stuff. and yet. AND YET.

at least it's not as bad as the vlogger parents who torture their children for YouTube ad revenue? oh wait aha it's actually worse.

exciting times! will be logging on and using it as inspo to (finally) upgrade my home server and put my old one into service as a dedicated BBS box

I'm closing in on a framework which is extremely useful in my field and removes a hell of a lot of cruft from existing approaches while maintaining rigor and broad applicability - and it's built on the work of dozens to hundreds of people who came before me.

side note: LTFS is technically EoL on Windows, but on Windows 10 if you uninstall Feature Update 2H22 and disable Fuse4Win and *then* install the LTFS utilities, it does in fact work.

windows however does like to be really stupid and won't do its own backups to tape, so I use Macrium Reflect

(this is the LTO-5 drive, the LTO-3 drive is still to come and will be for my homeserver update. also it uses SAS. on Debian. pray for me.)
