A file system doomed to never stand out. Maybe in the era of only mechanical disks it made sense but with SSDs I'm not sure if a significant advantage would be appreciated.

Games in the free software world are third-party software, nobody cares and that is demonstrated in the poor quality of the productions. It has taken major producers to "donate" their commercial work to free software for decent things to appear and it turns out that they are decent things with graphics from almost 20 years ago. In this field, free software has failed miserably, which is why the arrival of Steam on Linux was a big deal.

At my job they keep giving me courses on data protection. Ha ha ha... I can't stop laughing...

Well, I saw it a while ago and I really liked it, now I hardly use it, practically everything works for me with Plex. But when something doesn't work I turn on the HTPC with Kodi, I usually use the Arctic Zephyr skin which is modern, minimalist and has a white or black version.

I stopped using LibreOffice because I like to have the office suite unified on all computers, including the one at work, and on Windows with a Core 2 Duo and mechanical disk it doesn't work very well (in Linux it has always worked well for me). Now I use WPS Office, but I hope they refine the Windows version so that it becomes my favorite suite again.

I'm faced with the eternal dilemma. Many TB spread across many disks or all the information in a single container? Nothing might happen and the physical space saved is significant, but... As I always say, no one is exempt from suffering an unfortunate accident at the least expected moment, and the causes can be countless.

Of course, we take for granted that we are among hardware experts and that care would always be desired, but as such we also know that it has a limited lifespan, even if it sleeps on a bed of roses.

Considering the news precisely, one might think that the progressive increase in capacity in manufactured units and in data transfer speed will make it easier for us to replace the aforementioned when we detect that its end is approaching. But the key lies in your post, @amd125. Prices have not dropped much in recent years, and this shows that these high-capacity solutions will continue to be limited in access due to their high cost.

At the same time, a window opens: the SSD market is gradually becoming more competitive. While in its origins reliability was its weak point as a clear alternative to mechanical disks, now they have consolidated in durability and efficiency.

However, the price of TB in an SSD unit still leaves them far behind mechanical disks, and if the size scales in the latter at the same pace that SSD prices improve, and at the same time the weight of the material we move in our computers increases, personally I see that the situation will be the same as 12 years ago when I went to buy my first "large" hard drive (200Gb SATA - 139€): Large-scale storage will continue to require a large investment, at least if it's new from the factory.

Forgive the rant, I was reflective

Best regards!

The thing is that kde 4 was an environment written from scratch and many of the functions that had been introduced since kde 1 disappeared. In summary, kde 2 was a continuation of kde 1 and kde 3 was a continuation of kde 2 but kde 4 had nothing to do with the previous ones. Plasma 5 is a continuation of kde 4 so it is normal that functions that already existed in older versions appear. That's what free software has. When the environment becomes boring again as happened with kde 3, they will do it again from scratch and start over.

Firefox with FLAC support... sounds good

Now I discover that this exists. It seems interesting to me to integrate the raspi into my own projects just like you do with arduino with its dip28. This way you don't have to worry about the emi of the soc in the routing of the board.
