>>11340 >I don't think your posting style is 100% bad, just, hard to peruse I have an idea as to why my posts are hard to follow or understand by some. Months ago, I kinda agreed to make longer posts instead of short ones in /pone/. This sometimes or usually means that multiple topics are addressed in each post instead of 1 post = 1 topic. The 1 post : 1 topic style may be easier to understand, but I'm not going to do that in this post. I will at least say which topics this post is about as seen above in this post

Stating the obvious in the next sentence (we've all know about this for >decade). Image search = text string search -> image file; reverse image search = image file search -> image file in web server(s). If you do a reverse image search on picrel -- https://web.archive.org/web/20241124231408/https://rule34.xxx/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=11727025 -- at D4rpibo0ru and Twibooru then you will get no results (it being NSFW is not a factor as to why nothing showed up). This is an example of how MLP imageboards such as Twibooru have like only one import bot. This is a paltry situation when compared to untrustworthy deletionist boorus such as rule34.xxx and Sankaku Complex. Years ago and maybe also today, rule34.xxx had a bot which would import porn images from various/many sources. Twibooru only has an automatic bot to import D3rpibo0ru images, not MLP-tagged images at rule34.xxx or wherever. Consider a big tech motto from years ago: "Move fast and break things!" Just import a bunch of images; just do it. However, I don't think these pony booru website owners are going to do anything to improve this situation or automation problem.

Various posts in this thread which are related to /go/ or worth highlighting, such as: https://archive.is/2024.11.25-000952/https://boards.4chan.org/g/thread/103266439/fglt-friendly-gnulinux-thread#p103283933 > I should have made a ZFS snapshot at least once every month starting about 7 months ago! I didn't do this. If I would have then things would be somewhat better now. RAID is not a backup and things can sometimes get messed up or lost even if you are running a ZFS mirror pool. Create a snapshot of your zpool: > >$ zfs snapshot poolname@s2024-11-28 > ># zfs snapshot pool/home/user@yesterday
