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.

Try using different combinations of words in search engines for better results. The longer a round, the longer a timeout should be generally. One of the problems is I see 200+ rounds where each one is generally around 2 minutes each. But then the timeouts gradually get longer. I want to quickly try every byte on a disc. But after 200+ rounds, that failed. I want to try each byte and then trim and then scrape. The script should do rounds as fast as possible. But rounds should not be dependent on any of the three steps ddrescue has of trying, trimming, and scraping. In other words, the script should try to finish the trying process regardless of how many rounds it might take as opposed to be commanded to only do the trying for a certain numbers of rounds. If you use say Algebra for example or anything, the trying process or trying step could be the A variable, trimming could be B, scraping could be C. Write the best script based on the script you already wrote me to make sure it tries to go through each rounds as fast as possible while it is trying each byte. The shorter a round, then the shorter the break/timeout. Regardless of how many rounds it takes, it should try as many things as possible to simply try every byte before going to the trimming step and then the scraping step. So, whether it takes say 1 round or 500 rounds to try each byte, it should try a variety of tactics to try each byte of a disc. The trying only rounds should probably be as fast as possible and the faster the round, then the faster the break/timeout between rounds. The longer the round, the longer the break. Try to come up with a number of tactics for trying to quickly go through the trying process regardless if it might be 1 round or a thousand rounds. Same thing for trimming and scraping too, they should also be as many rounds as possible. Try to trim as fast as possible no matter how many rounds it might take. Same thing with scraping, as many rounds as possible. Whether it is trying, trimming, scraping, etc, it should start with trying as fast as possible via all tactics and more. And then it should gradually get slower and slower or try harder and harder. And later on after it tries everything, after it is done trying, trimming, and scraping every byte, then it should try all combinations of random tactics and methods randomly and to perhaps stick to whatever works or to move on whenever it is not working, it start trying all tactics as fast as possible and then gradually get longer and longer and harder and harder and random tactics and more after it has tried all other options first. Study the following. Add a formula to the jumper tactic where it starts with jumping as far as possible. You mentioned jumping say 5MB ahead but you should consider a higher number than just 5MB if possible. In other words, the formula should be to start off jumping the farthest possible at first in earlier rounds if that might help in finding a good read. The formula should not be dependent on the rounds themselves but instead should try first to jump the maximum it can. After that, perhaps it should try jumping to random points. After that, it should gradually jump a little less each time until it is only jumping 5 MB or less even. It should go back and forth between jumping chronologically and jumping to random spots or points. Also, consider making the resting shorter if the rounds are under ten minutes each but then perhaps make the resting/timeouts a little bit longer after a number of rounds. Regardless of how long or short rounds are, rests could be a little longer after say every large amounts of rounds be it one long hour-long round or perhaps 60 one minute each rounds. Make sure to keep that cap you have where the resting cannot be too long. I say that resting should generally be shorter. You have the break proportioned to be a half of the round meaning if the round was one minute long, then the rest/break/timeout would be 30 seconds but I suggest the rest should perhaps be a tenth of the round meaning 10 seconds instead of 30 seconds of a one minute round. But then after a number of minutes or hours, then perhaps you should add extra time to the rests. Look for the science of what lasers can do. Try to reduce the resting period as much as you can without risking breaking the laser or something. I would suggest if a round is under 5 minutes, then the resting period should probably generally be as short as possible. And then under ten minutes, rests can be a little longer. Gradually, rests can get longer and longer based on if the rounds are longer but I suggest keeping a cap like you did to rests being not longer than ten minutes per rest or whatever is recommended. I would suggest rounds under five minutes each should probably have rests that are only five seconds if that is possible or as short as possible. Rounds longer than five minutes, consider rests that are a little longer. Rounds longer than ten minutes, a little longer. And so on and so forth. And then like I said, after a number of minutes or hours, perhaps a little bit longer of a rest for that one time each hour or each every few hours or as few often as possible meaning try to keep the rests to a minimum. For example, try to keep rests only five seconds long per round if possible or as short as possible based on the length of each round but then after a number of minutes or hours or days, have special rests that are extra long but remember not too long every x amount of time to help protect the laser. Write the best script ever based on the script you already wrote. Study this rescue_floppy .sh file script you wrote me for my Ubuntu ASUS laptop. I have a hard floppy drive connected through a powered USB hub to my laptop. Your script works but please add more tactics to the script. Borrow as much as you can from the dvd_recovery .sh script file as much as you can to adapt that with the floppy script. You wrote both scripts. Please try to adapt as much as you can from the dvd script into the floppy script. I want to increase the strategies and everything for the floppy script to start off as fast as possible and to gradually try tougher tactics. Try to adopt everything from the dvd script into the floppy script if that is possible. Also consider adding additional things.
