- Comment on Chuck Norris haven't go gently to the dark 1 day ago:
And yet the jokes are funny.
Seriously, I grew up with Chuck Norris jokes but only looked up who that was when I was around 15. Then I knew he was an actor who played in movies I’ve never seen (and still haven’t seen).
Personally, I don’t think it’s wrong to joke about the larger-than-life figure he’s become. At least in my small bubble of people that’s all he is. The jokes could just as well revolve around John Doe, only then they wouldn’t work.

This is the first time we get a face to the name “Faith”. These emails are obviously jokes. That you’re spinning this into a race issue tells more about you than OP.

The horizon is always flat, no matter how high you climb. You’d need a rocket to get far enough away from the surface to see its curvature.

- Comment on Push to eliminate sales tax on food and groceries in Missouri runs into resistance 3 weeks ago:
Tax cuts only benefit corporations. They already price their goods at the maximum that consumers will (read: are able to) pay. Guess what happens if consumers can suddenly pay 10% more because they don’t have to pay 10% tax?

What is this meme talking about?
The name of order Pholidota comes from Ancient Greek Φολιδωτός – “clad in scales” from φολίς pholís “scale”.
The name “pangolin” comes from the Malay word pengguling meaning “one who rolls up” from guling or giling “to roll”;
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangolin#Etymology
Constantine Rafinesque (1821) formed the Neo-Latin generic name Phataginus from the French term phatagin, adopted by Count Buffon (1763) after the reported local name phatagin or phatagen used in the East Indies.

My point wasn’t that women aren’t looking at the surroundings, but that they don’t do it as is portrayed in the image. You said it yourself: “checking and rechecking the whole time” That doesn’t match singular hotspots, but rather a more spread-out heatmap with peaks at certain positions.

Navigating that scene in real life (or even simulated) would make the data orders of magnitude more annoying to interpret. On a static image you can just overlay all eye movements and produce a heatmap. But for a subject that’s actually (or virtually) moving, none of the data would coincide and you’d have to manually find out which focus points were actually equal.
- Comment on We're just scanning for the bear... 4 weeks ago:
I’m not buying that heatmap data. Why are almost all the dots on the left red? That would mean that women pick a random spot and focus on that for an extended period of time before moving on to the next. This is not really how you’d investigate a scene. The right images are much more believable to me: Short glances at random points to get an overview of the scene and then re-investigating points of interest.
I am a man, though. Women: Do you really stare random points into oblivion?

Latest theory I heard was:
A 2014 study found a correlation between striping and overlap with horse and tsetse fly populations and activity. Other studies have found that zebras are rarely targeted by these insect species. Caro and colleagues (2019) studied captive zebras and horses and observed that neither could deter flies from a distance, but zebra stripes kept flies from landing, both on zebras and horses dressed in zebra print coats. […] White or light stripes painted on dark bodies have also been found to reduce fly irritations in both cattle and humans.

Darwin was famously seasick, but also wanted to really look at birds and shit. Bad combination.
- Comment on Nice horsie! 🐎 5 weeks ago:
What distinguishes zebras from horses is that zebras live in anonymous herds. That is, they like to clump together to ward off predators, but they don’t know or like each other. They are not a uniform group with a leader. Horses on the other hand do have authorities and followers among them. And humans can hijack the role of the leader.

It’s good you found some pathological examples, but I’m at the end of my rope here.
You can use these examples and the other information you gathered so far and ask specifically how these size discrepancies can be explained and maybe mitigated. I suggest more specialized communities for this such as !linux@lemmy.ml, !linux@programming.dev, !linux@lemmy.world, !linux4noobs@programming.dev, !linux4noobs@lemmy.world, !linuxquestions@lemmy.zip.

These differences really are insane. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can comment on why different tools differ so wildly in the total size they report.
I have never used BTRFS, so I must resort to forwarding googled results like this one.
Could you try
compsize ~? If thePerccolumn is much lower than 100% or theDisk Usagecolumn is much lower than theUncompressedcolumn, then you have some BTRFS-specific file-size reduction on your hands, which your external exFAT naturally can’t replicate. - Comment on When using rsync to backup my /home folder to an external 1TB SSD, I run out of space, how?? 5 weeks ago:
du --count-linksonly counts hard-linked files multiple types. I assumed you had a symlink loop that rsync would have tried to unwrap.For instance:
$ ls -l foo -> ./bar bar -> ./foo
If you tried to rsync that, you’d end up with the directories
foo,bar,foo/bar,bar/foo,foo/bar/foo,bar/foo/bar,foo/bar/foo/bar, ad infinitum, in the target directory. - Comment on When using rsync to backup my /home folder to an external 1TB SSD, I run out of space, how?? 5 weeks ago:
Personally, I have no more tips that those that have already been presented in this comment section. What I would do now to find out what’s going on is the age-old divide-and-conquer debugging technique:
Using rsync or a file manager (yours is Dolphin), only copy a few top-level directories at a time to your external drive. Note the directories you are about to move before each transfer. After each transfer check if the sizes of the directories on your internal drive (roughly) match those on your external drive (They will probably differ a little bit). You can also use your file manager for that.
If all went fine for the first batch, proceed to the next until you find one where the sizes differ significantly. Then delete that offending batch from the external drive. Divide the offending batch into smaller batches (select fewer directories if you tried transferring multiple; or descend into a single directory and copy its subdirectories piecewise like you did before).
In the end you should have a single directory or file which you have identified as problematic. That can then be investigated further.
