“I don’t know anything about it but Lemmy.ml bad”

Is this… Really the bar?

ChatGPT 5.6: (Is fat32 a good option for a 64gb external drive) FAT32 is suitable for a 64 GB external drive only when maximum compatibility is the priority.

The main limitation is that individual files cannot exceed 4 GB. That makes FAT32 unsuitable for large videos, disk images, backups, or many game files.

Better choices:

exFAT: Best general-purpose option for Windows, macOS, Linux, TVs, consoles, and other modern devices. Supports files larger than 4 GB.

NTFS: Better for a Windows-focused drive, permissions, and reliability, but has weaker write support on some non-Windows devices.

ext4: Best for Linux-only use, but Windows and macOS do not support it natively.

FAT32: Use mainly for older hardware, firmware updates, boot media, or devices that specifically require FAT32.

For a normal 64 GB external drive, I would format it as exFAT unless the device you plan to connect it to explicitly requires FAT32.

Local hardware Gemma-4-12b: (Is fat32 a good option for a 64gb external drive) For a 64GB external drive, ExFAT is usually a better choice than FAT32.

Here is why:

The 4GB File Limit

The biggest issue with FAT32 is that a single file cannot exceed 4GB. While a 64GB drive can easily hold many thousands of small documents and photos, modern media files (high-definition videos, disk images, or large installer files) often exceed that limit. If you try to copy a 5GB file onto a FAT32 formatted drive, the copy will fail even though the drive is mostly empty.

The Solution: ExFAT

ExFAT was designed specifically for flash memory (thumb drives, SD cards, external drives). It keeps the high compatibility that makes FAT32 popular — it still works on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and PlayStation — but removes the file size ceiling, allowing files of virtually any size.

Summary Recommendation

• Use ExFAT if you might store large video files, large installers, or want the most modern standard for a drive of this size.
• Use FAT32 only if you require the highest possible compatibility with very old hardware (e.g. a DSLR camera from 15 years ago or a legacy Windows XP machine) and your files will always stay under 4GB.

At that point though cord cutting en-mass was already beginning so it wasn’t even a big draw

My cats will happily sit in a hamper with dirty clothes, they really like new surfaces to sit on in grneral. We have a ahem cleanup towel and our big orange loves to sit on that thing for some reason lmao.

Yup, doing laundry all normal, couple minutes later panic where are the cats? Oh god somehow they slipped past me and clearly dying in the dryer fuck fuck fuck, get up and look around for cats phew ok they’re fine.

this time

Thanks :p

Total spend says 12k, not bad for 15 years considering how often I buy games for my friends lol

How exactly did you come to that conclusion?

YouTube music is just GPM continued without the ability to upload your own library.

Interface obviously is different but they’ve done good refining it over the years where there’s nothing I really feel like I’m missing compared to GPM.

Also all the music I uploaded back ~13 years ago (damn) is still accessible in YTM

I had a bit of a reverse situation where ATT didn’t tell me I was receiving complaints until they bulk uploaded like 40 into their compliance portal.

I haven’t once had to reset metadata or my database in the 2 years now I’ve been running jellyfin, UNLESS the physical file changes.

Lately I’ve been going through and transcoding all my media to HEVC mkvs (compatability reasons) including renaming all of them to a standard naming convention and only a small handful had to be manually fixed.

Literally just Lemmy echo chamber shit

I had the Fold 2 and Fold 4, both broke so I just went back to a Pixel 🤷

That’s why the Microsoft store is the best place to get applications on windows./s

Yes, llama-swap and I use it for home assistant text-gen notifications, basic coding tasks, etc

If anyone here self-hosts definitely check out llama-swap as it has some nifty features for hotswapping LLMs, image generation models and voice models.

America does suck

Lmao such insights

Its interesting I didn’t see any nuance in the initial response.

But yes I don’t disagree consumers shoot themselves in the foot constantly for various reasons, mostly ignorance.

Brand loyalty, propaganda marketing, etc etc

The problem with your latter half is things like… Effective monopolies on required goods, small businesses going down because a Walmart opened up then jacked up prices, cable companies agreeing to not compete in geographical areas, regulatory capture in various industries, etc etc.

It’s not as easy as “market self corrects”
