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.

Neoliberal is whatever the smartass commentor wants it to be.

Neolib and conservative are not the same, but they’re both bad.

You don’t think it was the conservatives lmao. I mean it’s definitely a ratchet effect situation but I would say the Republican party and their apparatus of news networks, “think tanks”, the NRA, AIPAC, etc did more harm then neoliberals.

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.

Evil for profit AI company fedora

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

Gluetun is a vpn client, you input the info the vpn provider gives you and it connects.

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.

So gluetun is for docker networks and lets you isolate traffic to/from other docker containers into a VPN, you run it and qbt inside docker containers with gluetun configured to your vpn, then qbt configured to route all its traffic through it.

Edit: I didn’t have to port forward at all on my network for this to access it locally (I run it on a separate computer), because all the “outside” traffic in qbt is going through the vpn that has a forwarded port seeders/leachers can connect (which is dynamically updated as it changes with the aforementioned qbt port manager)

For example (truncated docker compose just the part related to above): services: qbittorrent-vpn: image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest container_name: qbittorrent-vpn depends_on: gluetun: condition: service_started restart: true restart: unless-stopped network_mode: “service:gluetun”

Then gluetun: services: gluetun: image: qmcgaw/gluetun container_name: gluetun restart: unless-stopped networks: - default cap_add: - NET_ADMIN devices: - /dev/net/tun - 8888:8888/tcp # HTTP proxy volumes: - /appdata/gluetun:/gluetun - /appdata/gluetun/tmp:/tmp/gluetun environment: TZ: $TZ VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER: $GLUETUN_VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER VPN_TYPE: $GLUETUN_VPN_TYPE # wireguard / openvpn WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY: $GLUETUN_WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES: $GLUETUN_WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES VPN_PORT_FORWARDING: on VPN_PORT_FORWARDING_PROVIDER: protonvpn # or your provider VPN_PORT_FORWARDING_STATUS_FILE: /tmp/gluetun/forwarded_port # OPENVPN_USER: $GLUETUN_OPENVPN_USERNAME # OPENVPN_PASSWORD: $GLUETUN_OPENVPN_PASSWORD healthcheck: test: [“CMD”, “/gluetun-entrypoint”, “healthcheck”] interval: 5s timeout: 5s retries: 1 start_period: 10s

gluetun-qbittorrent-port-manager: image: jopiermeier/gluetun-qbittorrent-port-manager:latest network_mode: “service:gluetun” container_name: gluetun-port-manager depends_on: gluetun: condition: service_started restart: true qbittorrent-vpn: condition: service_started restart: true environment: - QBITTORRENT_USER= - QBITTORRENT_PASS= - QBITTORRENT_PORT=$QBITTORRENTVPN_PORT volumes: - /appdata/gluetun/tmp:/tmp/gluetun

Generally wouldn’t consider mass delusion good either way.

Gluetun itself already knows the forwarded port via NAT-PMP, this program just gets it from gluetun and assigns it in qbt via the qbt api and if it returns a 200 response it considers it confirmed, here’s an example log:

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.

I mean there were the leaked texts of him bashing Trump https://www.mediamatters.org/foxdominion-lawsuit/tucker-carlsons-disparaging-private-messages-about-trump-contradict-his-pro

But that doesn’t do much for his credibility lol

Literally just Lemmy echo chamber shit
