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:

>  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
>  Info:
>  >$ zfs snapshot --help
>  >$ man zfs-snapshot
(I can gain more knowledge on this topic.)

>  WARC = Web ARChive. That file format is used by archives such as web.archive.org, which also serves replays of them. BTW, if you look at Wikipedia's "category box" for Internet Archive it still shows their former and better motto of "Universal access to all knowledge":
