  • I don’t know where you live, but in hcol areas mechanics won’t even pick up the phone for that much. So you have to get dealer/private seller to agree to take the car to that mechanic for inspection.

    In a hot market if the car is priced reasonably there’s 5 other people in line to get it without inspection.

    And then even if you can get the car inspected, mechanic offers you no guarantees. What do you think will happen if your engine explodes a week after you buy that car? You think that mechanic will replace it for free because he missed a big issue?

    Your suggestion is awesome if you have a mechanic in the family or as a close friend you can trust. Otherwise just money down the drain really.







  • CF doesn’t give a fuck about 80tb of traffic. These guys were in severe TOS violation that could affect all CF customers if CF IPs got blocked. Given 48 hours to bring their own IPs and switch to (expensive AF anywhere) enterprise account and finally shut down TWO WEEKS later after trying to weasel their way out of this instead of accepting they need to pay to play this stupid game.

    We’ve been CF customers forever and enshitification is definitely affecting all of their services and mostly customer support, but in this instance I’m 100% on the side of CF.



  • We’ve been using CF for a long time as enterprise and non enterprise customers and while their support went to absolute shit compared to what it was, I agree with the first comment on that article.

    Casino was in violation of TOS and the only solution was BYOIP with enterprise plan. They were given 48 hours to correct, but tried to weasel their way out of it for two weeks when CF finally shut down their account.

    I’m 100% on the side of CF in this instance. This also explains the sales calls. There was no tech issue to resolve.





  • Are you sure that’s the case with btrfs? I know ext has that feature. My understanding is btrfs just has a global reserve that can be used for any data in an low space situation.

    # sudo btrfs fi usage /mnt/disk3
