@dbucklin further test. It seems Yarn is very finicky.

@bender Synology uses single-volume Btrfs on software RAID, which seems to be pretty solid in my research but that's less flexible than ZFS. https://kb.synology.com/en-us/DSM/tutorial/What_was_the_RAID_implementation_for_Btrfs_File_System_on_SynologyNAS

Ha! Found it:

> Due to the Btrfs RAID issues, Synology chose Linux RAID. Based on the diagram below, Synology has implemented the layers in between the file systems and disks to ensure that Synology has full control to achieve the highest stability.

@mckinley I am curious now, though. Doesn't Synology use RAID Btrfs? How in the world do they do it? Researching...

@bender Exactly. It's just not an option with warnings like that all over the place. Some people have had success, but I'm not risking it. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20200627032414.GX10769@hungrycats.org/

@prologic ZFS is fine but it's out-of-tree and extremely inflexible. If Btrfs RAID5/6 was reliable it would be fantastic. Add and remove drives at will, mix different sizes. I hear it's mostly okay as long as you mirror the metadata (RAID1), scrub frequently, and don't hammer it with too many random reads and writes. However, there are serious performance penalties when running scrubs on the full array and random reads and writes are the entire purpose of a filesystem.

Bcachefs has similar features (but not all of them, like sending/receiving) and it doesn't have the giant scary warnings in the documentation. I hear it's kind of slow and it was only merged into the kernel in version 6.7. I wouldn't really trust it with my data.

I bought a couple more hard drives recently and I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to allocate them before badblocks completes. I have a few days to decide. :)

YouTube introduces a “stable volume” feature:

Once filmmakers realize that people just want stable volume instead of SUPER LOUD SECTIONS (…andreallyquietones…), then maybe I can finally remove the limiter from my pipewire filter chain. 🥴

@aelaraji At work? Not a chance. 😂

Private life? Sure. There was a regular community event called “A week in the TTY” over at nixers.net, where we spent a week only in text mode. It was easily doable.

There are some things where a graphical browser is pretty much mandatory these days. Online banking comes to mind. I *could* in theory physically go to the bank, but I’m way too lazy for that. 😂

Netflix is more popular nowadays and I wouldn’t want to miss that, either.

@prologic I read the help and it's a bit clearer now. Still a bit wonky. I will probably have it already forgotten by this evening. "Term" is exact match and "Match" adds some kind of unknown fuzziness on top.

The second bullet point can be addressed I reckon. It's purely a UI thing. Also, I'd add a short explanation for the search types next to them, so people don't have to look things up all the time through the help or even follow the links to the bleve documentation.

I like the magic detection™. That's what people expect. At least I did.

@lyse I've kept this thread open to think about... But honestly I'm drawing a blank. Do you have any ideas for improvements yourself here? It's not super clear to me what we should do to make this easier and more useful 😅 I admit myself I also get confused between Match and Term and even though I understand what Query String search is, I tend to think it's something we _can_ support by "magical detection"™ of the input? 🤔

@prologic I remember running yarnd for testing on a couple of different occasions and both times I found all the required command line options to be annoying. If I remember correctly, running it with missing options would only tell you the first one that was missing and you'd have to keep running it and adding that option before it would work.

This was a couple of years ago, so I don't know if anything's changed since then. It's really not a big problem, because it would be run with some kind of preset command line (systemd service, container entrypoint) in a production environment.

@bender I avoid install scripts like the plague. This isn't Windows and they're usually poorly written. I think it's better to prioritize native packages (or at least AUR, MPR, etc) and container images.

@prologic That's good advice. I don't open any ports to the Internet if I can possibly avoid it. Everything is on Wireguard, even stuff that doesn't really need to be. It's super easy to set up on other people's computers, too. Even on Windows.

@prologic I remember when I first ran Yarn on *arrakis*, it was a mess. Remember I had to start it again from scratch? If I were to run Yarn today, I will have to ask you what `-u` to use, if I am going to run a web server on it (say, *Caddy*), and what to do to keep the huge cache Xuu and I like. LOL. Granted, I could figure it out myself after some trial and error too.

To make Yarn install easier? An installer script that would prompt for the settings, generate config, and install the *systemd*, because, whether we like it or not, the biggest Linux distros around use it.

@bender What would make standing up Yarn even easier? I can think of a few things that people might struggle with: a Domain, Pointing the domain at something valid, Maybe a reverse proxy setup. Running `yarnd` itself is just downloading a binary and configuring it (_which could also be easier_)
