the dreaded obscurantism in the activitypub specs:

why call it 'instance' and not 'server'?

why call it 'activity object' and not 'profile page'?

Its 1945 and Roosevelt dies of a stroke, Truman has to take over as president and finish the war: "I felt like the moon, the stars, and all the planets had fallen on me" Harry Truman.

afaik:
only freebsd has support for xfs
no bsd has support for btrfs
only filesystem everyone has in common and has both read and write capability is msdos(fat)

note: just because both freebsd and linux both support btrfs does not necessarily mean you can plug and play a hard drive - underlying driver may format drive differently on physical sectors (or on pseudo sectors if there is a controller chip on the drive pretending to be the disk then doing different things behind the scenes). eg when i format usb stick msdos FAT32, if I format using openbsd then windows and linux can both read it, it i format using linux or windows, the other OS does not always recognise it. You can however send backups to linux xfs from freebsd fs and vice versa. That is the main reason they share the code, so it interoperates.

Then msdos has other problems, it cannot store files over some size (4GB?), it cannot store files that have unicode like Chinese characters in filename, it cannot store files whose name is too long.

In summary I would completely avoid sharing filesystem between different drives. Just have another computer if you want to try a different OS and avoid needless pain, and avoid the chance of your whole filesystem being corrupted. Use ssh to share the files.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk :p

@0x6e6174@catgirl.cloud yep, freebsd and linux share source tree for openzfs, and:

@0x6e6174@catgirl.cloud zfs vibe coded bleh. idk about btrfs.

when i installed arch spinoff byrilliumOS it just used btrfs. no setup required. it automatically did compression with no work on my part. maybe its just the manual thats complicated.

btw i told u yesterday 30% of my files were compressed. thats incorrect due to me misunderstanding compsize man page. the files are all compressed, and use 30% of the space they would use if uncompressed.

On my mediacentre youtube has 8 cookies taking up 7.3MB of disk space. What kind of goop is it saving in there? ppl could fly to the moon using less disk space.
