If only your CPU becomes a limiting factor at one point you can simply upgrade your CPU to a few generations newer cpu without having to swap out your motherboard. You can’t really do that with Intel (AFAIK they switch platforms every 2 CPU generations so depending on your CPU you may not be table to upgrade at all (can happen with AMD too, but not that frequent)

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, systemd/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, systemd plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning systemd/Linux system made useful by the various daemons and services provided by systemd, which manages system processes and configurations.

Many computer users run a modified version of the systemd ecosystem every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of systemd which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the systemd framework, developed for streamlining service management on the Linux kernel.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is usually paired with the systemd framework: the whole system is basically systemd with Linux added, or systemd/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of systemd/Linux!

Now, let’s talk about systemd itself. systemd is not just an init system but a sprawling suite of software designed to harmonize the management of services, logging, and much more across all those Linux distributions adopting it. While there are plenty of critics who claim that systemd suffers from mission creep, and bloat, they fail to realize that systemd is here to unite the divergent spirits of the Linux universe into a cohesive whole.

It’s often cited that systemd is the first daemon to start during boot and the last to terminate at shutdown, meaning it’s the parent that manages the chaotic brood of processes that stem from it. But of course, the truth remains that Linux is merely the kernel within this greater whole. For many, using systemd without acknowledging its complex ecosystem is like using a bus without realizing it’s the driver coordinating every route.

While some advocate for a leaner alternative, the benefits of systemd are often overlooked, such as its ability to parallelize the boot process to expedite your start-up time, or how it beautifully integrates logging with journald, merging many separate tasks into one efficiently managed service.

In conclusion, while there’s certainly a Linux kernel powering many systems out there, it’s really the systemd suite that brings it all together. So please remember, when you’re running your Linux, you’re not just running Linux; you’re enjoying the splendid orchestration of systemd/Linux, or as I like to call it, systemd plus Linux.

The past half year it has been the same discussions every time it somehow got brought up. The same 15 arguments over and over and over. I tried every possible strategy and now I Am drawing lines. I will always be open to return, but my motivation to do so is quite low as long as they dont respect my name/pronouns.

Thought of this too.

Bonus content: As my father has already stated before, he will not use my name, since it reminds him of the name of his mother and he does not want to have anything that reminds him of her (long and very dirty conflict that involved a lot of violence and the police) (I wouldnt say, that my name is a short form of her name, but that doesnt matter for him). My mother literally dared to make me the reason that all of this has happened, since I could have just chosen a female version of my name (which sounds absolutely horrible).

You cant make this shit up.

Well, Im still financially dependend on them and I am willing to come back any time, but not if they not respect the most basic thing of my personality.

This isnt the entirety of Spotify. If they would have archived everything in 160kbps OGG Vorbis it would have been 700+TB. Theres A bucket load of songs that literally no one listens to.

They havent released the music files yet

It includes cover art and also preview clips. In this blog post you can read what their database contains: https://annas-archive.li/blog/backing-up-spotify.html

4TB if you include all with popularity=0 iirc

Its also crazy when you realise the amount of knowledge an experienced data analyst could gain from 200gb of metadata.

My soon to be homeserver will have an astonishing 4TB of space. The CPU can handle up to 15TB (according to official specifications), but I am lacking drives that are big enough.

If I ever get the money to build a proper NAS I will 100% start going all in on Storage and start doing stupid shit like mirroring Wikipedia. I will probably not start mirroring the entirety of Spotify (which would be kinda sick NGL.), but I kind of have the problem that I Am kind of a data hoarder that likes to store excessive amounts of stuff I will never need. In the future I will also start seeding all the music I have, but I need a VPN with port forwarding for that beforehand (I’m currently kinda broke, so won’t happen that fast)

I am noticing changes (breasts are starting to grow and I’m feeling the emotional changes)

I Am also planning on getting my levels check in January.

I am doing Monotherapy (4mg/week EEN subq.) And I am already planning at getting my levels checked in January.

Dont we all like to take one big hit of salvia as soon as you leave work to calm down from the stress? Also has the benefit that you can then drive on salvia

I can’t leave now and I kind of want to annoy them a little bit more to make my point clear. I will definitely leave earlier than planned and they will 100% get to hear the exact reason why I Am leaving earlier than planned.

Idk must be some weird random circumstances that prevent it every time.

They had more than enough time to think about it. We had more than one discussion that I would have ended after 3 sentences if it wouldnt have been my parents. I tried the soft and slow way, that one didnt work, so I will go the confrontational route. I havent started misgendering them too, but if they refuse to use my new name/pronouns i will simply stop listening to my old name and then maybe start to use their own weapons against them. I dont care how much they dislike it. I simply want to be referred to as the right gender.
