They said that their next game will be a brand new IP!

Jazz moment

So it’s like Roblox?

Interesting, I’ll keep that in mind for if I go for a RAID setup, but for now it’s just my one drive on BTRFS, the other one is ext4.

Arch isn’t unstable, I just keep breaking things in my ignorance. The only thing in this scenario I could pin on Arch is that the “ca-certificates” package should have been marked as a dependency for pacman, but I guess it’s not strictly a dependency, as you can use pacman to install stuff from a local repo. Definitely for Firefox, though, as you can not browse the internet without the certs.

Could be, seems to me that BTRFS didn’t match the subvolid between @home and what it expected @home to be in the fstab, but I won’t claim to be an expert lol

Yeah, I could see it being a good server OS, but otherwise NixOS seems like it’s on the “immutable” thing that’s popular right now. I’ve tried a few immutable distros, and they’re not for me, I end up layering everything anyways lol

Idk about all that, it’s been fine for me, just a little misconfiguration here. The compression just saved me a bunch of storage space, so I’m kinda in btrfs’ corner right now lol

LMAO I was unaware of this! That’s hilarious!

I like to tinker, plus I can be absolutely assured that every problem with my system is 100% my fault, which actually makes it easier to track down any problems. But the main reasons people use Arch is probably the rolling release model and the AUR.

Bleachbit

Just an update: following the very helpful suggestions in this thread has gotten my drive usage down to 16%! Super happy about that, y’all rock!

You joke, but I actually did remove locales with BleachBit, and then changed pacman.conf to skip the unnecessary ones. Saved me about 400MB!

Yeah, that’s pretty much how I solve all my problems lol

That’s the second recommendation for qdirstat, so it’s definitely on the tomorrow list!

I will check that out! Mostly I’ve been looking for something to determine what files are no longer in use, like old configs for programs I don’t even have anymore, etc.

Great suggestions, that will absolutely be my tomorrow project!

Yeah, my other drive is a 1TB HDD, and I do have all my media/documents/pictures/etc. there, I think what’s filling up my drive is actually plugins for Ardour lol, plus I might have too many Things I Definitely Need™. Maybe the real solution to my storage problems is to look within… (like do I seriously need No Man’s Sky installed all the time for the once every three months that I play it?)

But yeah, I wanna set up a NAS for this sort of thing, next time I have money lol

Was it ~7 years ago? Maybe it was your old post I found!

Yeah, I didn’t bork it that hard, not this time anyways!
