Most early disc consoles had nonstandard discs in some way. Even if they are readable with a standard drive I doubt MS will support it. (They've surprised me with this announcement though, so who knows)

You can't change the vdev type/layout of a drive without wiping all data stored on it. The one exception is adding a drive to a RAIDZ1, which is allowed but has some annoying repurcussions. I'm not sure if the TrueNAS interface will let you create a vdev that is missing drives, but you probably can using zfs commands and I'd expect TrueNAS to accept it like any other vdev once mounted.

In any case, you should really have a separate backup which can serve as your second copy.

I usually check the length of each episode with the disc open in VLC and find the title with a matching length in MakeMKV, so I can set the names before extracting. Jellyfin supports naming episode files 'S01E01 Episode Name' which makes it easy to track what the file really is in case the db ordering turns out to be different. For nonserialized shows where order mismatches are likely I'll check with TVDB as I'm going through the episodes on the disc.

I'm a fan of inclusive min, exclusive max for rng. It behaves consistently with decimal numbers in a readable way, for example int(0,100) can return 100 different integers. x<0 has a 0% chance of happening, x<50 is 50%, x<100 is 100%. If you swap with dec(0,100) you could now get 99.999 but x<50 is still exactly 50%

I do agree with amio on consistency and making sure each method added is worth the abstraction.

So it is worth letting the bad things happen now because they probably would have happened anyway a decade from now? And winning an election against the republicans would have convinced democrats to adopt the republican mindset, which won't happen after that mindset is proven to win elections?

I don't think people are saying you personally are a bot, but you're falling for narratives pushed by bots. By allowing republicans to win this past election, infinitely more harm has been caused than even most people's worst predictions and absolutely zero harm has been prevented. USAID is gone which will lead to millions of deaths abroad, crackpots like RFK Jr have been legitimized causing deaths to diseases which were effectively eliminated, disaster relief is being denied to blue states, and of course Israel has more freedom than ever before to do whatever they want to the Palestinian people.

Has any harm been reduced by allowing the republican party to have power? Can you acknowledge the harm that has already been caused by allowing them to have power?

I would still rather vote for a party that doesn't mind republicans, over the republicans themselves. Luckily I don't have to make that choice because even if the democratic party doesn't care about a single thing they say I'm pretty sure they do mind what affects them personally, like getting investigated for made up charges and having their security details taken away. The republican party clearly does mind the democratic party considering how hard they lean into voter suppression and pushing the 'both sides are the same' lie every election cycle.

I'm sure they are, but but I think their effort is targeted at standalone headsets and won't translate much to wired headsets.

Wireless headsets do have fewer issues on Linux, from what I've read. A lot of the stuff I'm missing like passthrough and boundaries are probably handled by the headset instead of the pc.

In my experience steamvr works but is unstable and has really bad performance compared to windows. (Constant stuttering even in lighter games like pistol whip) Motion smoothing doesn't work and it feels like there's some input delay which is not acceptable for vr.

I've switched over to monado via envision, which loses the steamvr overlay and is very unpolished. (no camera passthrough and no boundary display, though both seem in development) Games play correctly with reasonable performance, which is what matters.

I wouldn't recommend linux vr in general right now, if a friend wanted to try my headset I'd probably boot my windows partition. (Original htc vive with a 9070xt, so no excuse for steamvr's linux performance)
