What's the advantage of btrfs over ext4?

Is there a way to avoid throttling with yt-dlp?

I have a bunch of 4gb DDR3 laptop dimms and I don't know what to do with them. They're not worth much.

Is there anything interesting or cool I can do with them? Like some old server motherboard I can use them in and make something fun? I'm grasping here.

Are you using Chrome on Windows?

Server boards rarely use SO-DIMMs …

My laptop got fried and I had to get the motherboard replaced, so now it's promoting me to unlock it with a bitlocker key

Only thing is I don't have the key and none of my accounts have my device registered. All I really want to do is recover my data but idk how. Pls help.

I know, but I figured some thin 1U one or something might use them

It's done'd. Probably a TPM-encrypted bitlocker.

Worthless talentless child

Chromium on Windows 10.

Any retard friendly git and github guide that is integrated so that I learn how they work alongside each other

How can I blacklist this website? Domain blacklisting isn't working here. I've blocked Any Forums.org, 4channel.org, and 4cdn.org but can still browse just fine on my PC.

>What's the advantage of btrfs over ext4?
Copt-on-write, so virtually impossible to corrupt.
Data checksums, so data corruption is detected.
It manages volumes, replacing LVM.
Snapshots per subvolume; online compression; btrfs-send.

Compared to ext4, btrfs lacks fscrypt support.

The problem is the LocalCDN extension.

good to know

btrfs is secretly two databases which act in concert like a filesystem but the abstraction is half baked and has some weird side effects like internal fragmentation and inode number collisions. If your distro uses it by default, they probably figured out how to work around most of this. If you have to ask and they don't choose for you, use xfs on top of lvm.

I have pi 4 B 4GB, what is the best distro with gui I can install that will allow me to configue a socks5 proxy on pi with least amount of effort so I can connect my laptop through ethernet to pi, go through socks proxy and then connect to internet (pi will connect to wifi for internet)
I have used ubuntu before,
