Why LVM + BTRFS instead of only using btrfs? Unless you need RAID 5/6, which doesn't work well on btrfs.

Most people using these sites prefer the lossless codec flac anyway, which can be transcoded to anything.

MP3 320kbps and MP3 V0 is transparent to most (all?) people, so there's not much of a reason to go with a newer codec, except for space savings.

There's not even much of a reason to go with 320kbps, as V0 achieves the same quality with smaller files. That's why almost nobody actually downloads MP3 320.

I personally think MP3 is there for historical reasons, as I don't see a reason for using lossy codecs for archiving purposes. Just download flac and transcode it once or on demand on a media server for streaming.

Not natively, as far as I know. NTFS works well on Linux for the most part (unless you need permissions), but macOS natively only supports reading.

FAT32 is universally well supported, but the partition size limit and 4GB file size limit make it unusable for me.

Linux filesystems as well as macOS filesystems aren't supported natively anywhere else, so ExFAT it is.

ExFAT does make sense, since it's the only filesystem which supports read and write on all major OS. Sadly it's also pretty basic, and thus not the first choice on any OS - except for USB sticks.

I generally recommend formatting any new storage media before using it. Just to make sure it's properly formatted to work with my machine, and the manufacturer didn't mess up their implementation for some reason.

What format did the drive use? HFS+?

I'm not the creator of the survey, but I've just send them the link to this discussion on Mastodon, so they can take the feedback into account.

Thanks for the correction. It's a shame that sysadmins balcklist middle nodes too, since they won't see any TOR traffic originating from your IP address anyway.

Make sure to not refresh the page, else it seems like all progress is lost.
I found out simultaneously that I enabled pull down to refresh the page in Firefox Android.

Edit: The survey wasn't created by me, I just shared it.

fclones is fast and supports hardlinking/softlinking of duplicates instead of removing them.

I've used it successfully to deduplicate my documents folder (and "archive").

As its quite the amount of data, I recommend using the --cache option to make subsequent runs way faster, if you want to dial in the options. This directory can be deleted at any point and isn't necessary.

There's different types of relay, including exit relays, which are the legally problematic type. Middle, guard, and bridge relays don't face the same issues with law enforcement and IP blocking.

That's only true for new phones. Once they get older, the difference in performance is noticeable.

Replacing the battery after a few years is possible, upgrading the SoC is not.

Agreed. That's even better.
