Everytime a btrfs based volume runs out of space, I’m reminded of these:
There are a few scripts that help you assess quota usage. If you think they are wrong, then you need to btrfs quota rescan / which tells you that it started, but won’t tell when it’s finished (nor wil journalctl -xe a.k.a. journalctl --catalog --pager-end), but dmesg does:
# dmesg | grep qgroup
[ 316.608122] BTRFS info (device sda2): qgroup scan completed (inconsistency flag cleared)
For now I’ve this quick script to start investigation:
~/Versioned/btrfs-du/btrfs-du && df -h | grep "\/$\|^[^\/]" && btrfs quota rescan -s /
It assumes there is quota on the root (enable with btrfs quota enable /) and is based on my fork github.com/jpluimers/btrfs-du. The df will limit itself to the root (trailing / matched by \/$) or disks not mounted from / (matched by ^[^\/]).

A few years ago, Google Drive introduced this:
For those looking to share files more quickly, listen up. You can now share with others directly from the Google Drive folder on your Mac or PC. To share a file while inside your Google Drive folder, simply right click the file, select “Google Drive” and then click “Share.” This new feature is rolling out over the next few days.

However, sometimes it fails. And the menu has changed as well.
By now the menu looks like this:
- “View with Google Drive”
- “Share using Google Drive”
If those do not appear, then:
Try to stop, then start Google Drive.
If that fails:

Since Mediawiki needs an extension to display Markdown, and many MediaWiki installations do not have that extension, I was looking for an online conversion from markdown to MediaWiki markup.
Luckily the Pandoc try has this conversion: [WayBack] Try pandoc! Markdown(pandoc) -> MediaWiki
These links helped me get there:

A Wi-Fi enabled 1990 Macintosh Classic built with LEGO, powered by a Raspberry Pi Zero running docker and a 2.7″ e-paper display by EmbeddedArtists.
Cool stuff!

Launch dates:
Now you only need a memory card and a camera module to make a nice “CCTV” system with plenty of choice. More details here:
Depending on what and when you record video, you might want to consider an IR capable camera. In Raspberry Pi land, they call them NOIR (which stands for No IR, meaning they leave out the IR filter which means they can record IR).

Mikrotik has great hardware, great firmware (if you have the right builds), but notoriously bad documentation and a not so great software release and testing process.
So I might consider switching away, so here are some threats that might lead to alternatives:

I use ubnt edgerouters, great bang for buck. My ER Pro-8 has been up for 8 months (no reboots) and hasn’t missed a beat, rock solid ipsec vpn. I looked at microtik, but found the edgerouters slightly easier to configure.

Problem:
6 unlabeled buttons: I can not force the input to display port and monitor is searching other ports when host is sleeping. Getting no output when I wake up the host. 😞
Btw, this is for an Acer B326HK monitor. Other than issues with the UI, seems like a decent 4k monitor.
Solution:
my mistake was to use Display Port (Choice was DP or DVI) and the workaround is to disable power state changes on Display Port with something like “xset -dpms“

I forgot to schedule the post below. It is still relevant if you create a machine with lots of Delphi versions on it.
