Welcome to my daily blog, my name is Oatmeal Joey Arnold, follow me on social media and on all the websites at Joeyarnoldvn or else. Wait, was that a threat? No way. I'm joking. But that's the thing about me, I'm a nerd stuck in the body of an athlete, born in 1985 in Oregon, been online since like 1995 (or longer) meaning I've been on the world wide web the past 30+ years uploading over 30K+ videos, we're talking thousands of hours of worth of content (I have millions of things online, literally), most of my content is terrible which is weird because I'm a perfectionist who would probably prefer only sharing my best stuff on the Internet. Click here for more information. Quick disclaimer, I sometimes like rant, I speak often from the top of my head opinions, feelings, random thoughts, I often don't even spell check, fact check, or look at what I've been posting on hundreds of websites and apps for decades now. But as I get older, I do try to be more careful as I try to summarize my life, my autobiography, to correct the record as I try to tell my side of the story to combat the Oatmeal Fake News that my lolcow trolls spam the Internet with as they fool people into believing the lies they tell about me. Not saying you should watch my videos. But if they can lie about me, they can lie about you. But I sometimes trolled my trolls to show the world how easy it is to fool trolls who fell for the lies I put out there. Most of what I try to do in my life probably fails big time you might say but I was at least able to scam my trolls a few times over the years. I sometimes utilize sarcasm, hyperbole, satire, comedy, absurdity, Devil's advocate, trolling, scamming, click baiting, out of context stuff, irony, etc. But I often wouldn't tell people when I was trolling or not trolling. If you studied me, you could eventually figure it out. But most of my trolls are too lazy to research beyond the tip of the iceberg which led to my trolls repeating lies they about me which would only take a second to debunk. I felt like I had more trolls at times than actual fans or friends. For more info, questions, feedback, join my Discord servers. I have more to say but I will continue writing some of this stuff other places as usual. Because I write many books worth of content all of my life. You can send your artificial intelligence or AI to give you outlines of my content and what not. But you have to always remind the AI that I've had hundreds to thousands of different accounts, channels, pages, groups, sock puppet alt accounts, personas, parodies, profiles, communities, entities, and so on and so forth, ask me about all of that if you dare. People are free to steal any of my like free content, you don't have to give me credit, do whatever you want.

Consider adding to your script to add different block sizes in later rounds if that might help at all. See if anybody in the world has ever got anything from larger or smaller block sizes assuming I am copying DVD home videos that were not finalized or perhaps CD music discs or CD data discs or different types of discs of any and all kinds. Also try to add something in the script to end the script if 100% of a disc is totally copied with absolutely 0 bytes remaining left to copy. Consider trying to add additional rounds. Try to see if there is anything you can do to make sure earlier rounds are as fast as possible and that later rounds continue to get slower and slower. Try having over 100+ rounds if possible. Try to search for additional commands to be added to your script for additional things that could be tried. Make sure this script is compatible for new discs and also discs I've already partly copied. Sometimes, I like to continue copying discs and I want to make sure I can just execute this .sh script to continue the log file and map file and image file of a disc. I saw you had the -d tag command for direct I/O access bypassing the kernel but see if you want to also add the -D command too assuming you do not already have -D or something that is similar enough to -D assuming -D might help. Brainstorm for anything you might be missing that might help. Mom on the phone with Rick. I took out the recycling, burnable is saved for the wood stove. Got the mail. Light rain. Lunch: 03:31 PM. The problem is it's still stuck on trying bytes on the disc each round. Even in round 17, there appears to be over 414 MB non-tried. It seems timeouts between rounds are too long. Each round appears to be either too short or too long in some ways. I would prefer to go through each byte at least once for each of the three steps of trying, trimming, and scraping. At this rate, it might still be trying bytes for the first time on round 200 it seems. I would prefer an attempt to try trying all the bytes as fast as possible. It seems it is still too slow. I would prefer as many rounds as possible for each of the three steps or things like trying, trimming, scraping or scrapping, and whatever else. I would also prefer to add more variety in trying different combinations like random combinations of commands and tactics and methods and codes and things for anything after like round 200 and beyond forever and ever. Here is an update. Rain. Picked up Richard around 05:50 PM. Interesting conversations they have at Randy's. We looked at the donkey in the Bible who talked to Baal. Not to god thing. Dinner: 06:20 PM. Food log: Breakfast: some warm broth drink mom made me was good, 12:22 PM. Lunch: watery yogurt was good for my stomach, 03:31 PM. Dinner: bowl of Randy's salad was good, 3 slices of garlic bread, 06:20 PM. Some rice thing broth like the breakfast, 09:00 PM. Wood stove but smoking, got heated with mom, a bit of a back and forth relating to the smoke, part of it has to do with me making mistakes when making the fire. So, added a special log designed for cleaning out the wood ashes and smoke off the inside of the chimney.
