  • “How impressed everybody is” is the basis of money, law, self-worth and our models of reality

    Money

    Is it? I don’t try to impress anybody with money I do or don’t have. If you do, consider not doing so. You might find your finances in a better state.

    self-worth

    Don’t, I repeat, do not base your self worth on what other people think. Listen to their input and make yourself the best person you can be. But if you only have self-worth due to how impressed your neighbors are, you are going to have a very poor life as you make a continued bad decisions.

    Law

    There are vanishingly few laws that are centered around impressing anybody. The core theme to is to create laws that best allow for the functioning of society. For some easy examples, lack of criminalizing murder, lack of property rights, or lack of a tax code all fuck up modern society pretty quick.

    our models of reality

    I’m not sure how ‘impressing others’ is part of this at all? Our model of reality, ie physics, chemistry, math, have nothing to do with impressing others?

    In defense of the new tracks, the trains did seem to careen around corners a bit too much.

    I’ll tell you what though, took me awhile to figure out why nothing was lining up properly. I have a saved blueprint that is just two lengths of straight track with a rail signal on both, set to the length of a 1 engine, 4 car train and separated by the width of a (not in the blueprint) turnaround. Yeah…that blueprint needed a quick adjustment after laying down way too much track.


  • Yeah, your suggestion is the only thing I could think that would even work, but honestly, it’s probably more trouble than it is worth.

    An alternative which doesn’t quite meet the requirements, but will be much lower effort would be to format the drive(s) as exFat, which both Windows and Linux can read without issue. Then put them up as a network share in both OSes.

    If you are wanting RAID 1 with those two drives…this won’t work unless you are either using hardware raid (maybe you can set it in your bios?) or if you can find a software raid that both windows and linux use. For RAID, maybe just pick one OS and that will be the one that has the share.

    I would also recommend against the SSD caching idea with all this other stuff in the mix, wait till you have a dedicated NAS PC. You are going to pull your hair out otherwise.


    OP, do you have an old computer, even an old laptop? A NAS doesn’t require much computing power. You can plug your drives in via a SATA to USB adapter. Then you will have a dedicated NAS box and all these problems get 500x easier.
