In the end, Razputin, aren’t we all just dogs playing poker?

  • I use openmediavault for my home NAS, it does all the heavy lifting for you with a nice GUI so you don’t have to config everything yourself. I’d recommend checking it if you don’t have a lot of experience with RAID setups or don’t want to do manually.

    Just please remember that RAID is not a backup solution, it’s a redundancy solution. If you have data corruption on one side, it can copy itself to the other mirror and then you’re screwed. If your media is important, keep a proper separate backup.















  • I’ve translated the subtitles for Troll Bridge for a screening at a local scifi/fantasy con, and I’ve watched it so many time while working on it so it’s pretty much engraved in my mind. So I guess that’s my favorite.

    From the Sky adaptations, Going Postal and Hogfather are quite good and fun to watch. I guess they didn’t have a huge budget so it can look a little cheap in some parts, but the script and acting make up for it (also Going Postal has Claire Foy who is amazing). Colour of Magic is… fine, but not as good. Maybe because it’s based on an earlier book. But something feels off with that one.

    I never liked the Cosgrove Hall animated movies. They’re ugly and surprisingly boring even though they take a lot of the dialog directly from the books.

    (not Discworld, but) Johnny and the Bomb mini series is also nice. Not as deep as the book but a fun kids movie. Shame they didn’t do the other two.




    • Not sure if the installer would run, you may have to disable secure boot just for that. But you can run Pop with secure boot although there is no built in support. You will have to sign the kernel yourself everytime there’s a new version.
    • Yes, from the custom install option you can set up the partitions however you like on the drives you select. If you don’t want to overwrite the Windows drive by mistake, you can physically disconnect it before installing Pop.
