It's all faith really. There is no faith renewables can see us through when the wind is no blowing and their is no sun. Maybe tidal will help easy that fear. I absolutely believe there is plenty of time gas could have been off but wasn't.

When the faith is there we don't really need gas, that will when the price is decoupled and the markets will kill gas overnight.

One overshoot, one lesser undershoot and hit the target? When it's a different thing each time? Makes me think maybe there is hope for these monkeys yet!

This human reaction to a lot of stuff. It's interesting how it looks like a PID loop. https://theautomization.com/pid-control-basics-in-detail-part-2/

It does feel like we are talking past each other. Probably coming from very different places. All the best anyway.

Come on.

'Welcome to the Exile Guild ~The incompetent S-rank party will banish more and more talented adventurers, so collect the weakest and create the strongest guild~ 1 (Dragon Comics Age) - Yusuke Araki'

Is not a reasonable name.

I get:

ようこそ『追放者ギルド』へ ~無能なSランクパーティがどんどん有能な冒険者を追放するので、最弱を集めて最強ギルドを創ります~ 1 (ドラゴンコミックスエイジ) - 荒木 佑輔

As 87 Unicode characters and 241 bytes in UTF8.

So this unreasonable name does fit.

I don't see this limit changing any time soon because in hitting it, you're naming files unmanageablely. Pretty sure that is what the main devs will say and concentrate on more important stuff. If you present them with nice code for it, maybe they will take it. If not, it will mean carrying those patches on own folk. Though maybe you could get them to take bits of it making the carrying easier.

No, that’s not needed I think.

People doing it for themselves is very common. I've fixed bugs in all kinds of things, including the Linux kernel. People doing it for money is a world I don't know, but I know of. Example : https://console.algora.io/

You can also just hire a contractor, or team, to do open source. I've done that, at the developer end (Qt4 Windows port work).

Wine is, old. It's from 1993. The code is great though. Over 12 years ago, when stuck on Windows for work, I used to use it as a reference when the MSDN didn't cover stuff. But I wouldn't recommend it though as a way of living on a UNIX. If you are depent on Windows apps, you aren't ready to leave. Wine does not make a UNIX into Windows. Changing underlying implementation bring out bugs in software above. With closed shit, you can't fix them. Wine does however, give you a route to running a piece of Windows software, if you have the time to give that software the set of Windows bug it expects, "Bug for bug". Valve have basics lovingly wrapped Windows games with what each game needs.

You want unlimited filename length?? Yer... that's a bad idea. Everything has a limit set for good reason.

Yes with open source you can do it yourself, but you can also pay someone to do it. Skills+time, or money to pay someone with the skills, that's what is needed. There is nothing stopping what you want happening. Yet it doesn't. Not even talk of if it by looks of it

This a mountain out of mole hill.

I have no idea what you are on about with Windows games exes. I assume you know of Stream's Proton and just Wine.

It's a backup. On the main machine there are two disks (fast & big and slow & smaller) not in raid, with a btrfs copy.

It would be quite an event to lose all three copies.

Remote storage (Pi at parents house with a big disk) and cron'ed btrfs send over ssh.

As a Brit, we just had riots due to a rightwing posh dickhead "just asking questions". Look for "Farage riots". (Something Elon made worse)

Some questions aren't questions but dog whistles and conspiracy theories.

Of course owning stock in one Elon company compromises you judging another Elon company. You don't even have to look hard to see how he leverages one for another. Or could if he hadn't already. Not seeing it is done willfully.

I doubt the Linux kernel bricks itself when filename are too long, regardless of encoding. It doesn't do characters, but just bytes. If there is too maybe bytes, they just get trimmed. User level above I can certainly believe. On all platforms. Difference is you can fix it in the open world and throw a patch. It's an embarrassing crash, and will be a simple fix, so it will get in. Closed products, well maybe you can log it, maybe they will fix it, but your in serfdom unless you have real money and other options.

The other thing that makes me think this can't be as a big an issue as you say is, the example you gave, still looks bloody long. Seams like doing it wrong if the filename is a sentence. It filename, not filesentence.

This tiny, and seemingly silly, thing, doesn't make Windows and NTFS not laughablely in 2024.

Has it got electrolytes?
