Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs? in c/[email protected]

Is the Proton (Mail, VPN, Password Manager) ecosystem any good? in c/[email protected]

yea you might actually be right. I Played with my fstab too much years ago, and never thought of that until now

But does that flag affect manually running xfs_fsr?

I'm pretty sure running XFS defrag will defrag without trimming no matter the type of block device.

Random reads are still slower than sequential in SSD. try torrenting for a year on SSD, then benchmark then defragment then benchmark. it will be very measureable difference. you may need some linux filesystem like XFS as im not sure if there is a way to defrag SSDs in windows.

At least you can talk to someone at your ISP who can change things, in 10 years I was literally never been able to contact someone who knows anything about networks in any of the 3 big ISPs here.. all I get is this:

"oh you have speed issue? Let me "refresh" your connection"

"No sir i have no speed issues, I just need to be able to open IPv6 ports"

"Oh trying to changing the cable port?"

"Sigh.. can you transfer me to advanced support plz"

"Sure thing"

Advanced support: "So you having speed issues?"

"No i just need to be able to open IPv6 ports"

"Ah ports, you can do that from your router settings i think"

"No sir, you are the only ISP here where I can't open ports or receive any ICMP on my ipv6"

"Let me see.. i'll refresh your connections"

And it's the same of many different issues, you can't get a hold of anyone who can change anything in any layer about any config. Take it or leave it..
