Premise

Just Another Immigrant follows Ranganathan as he uproots his entire family – his supportive wife, their three kids, his Sri Lankan mother and his eccentric uncle – and immigrates to the U.S. Displaced in Los Angeles, Ranganathan attempts to find success and happiness, while rebuilding a life from scratch. In addition to his efforts to adapt, he has committed himself to booking a U.S. gig – the 6,000-seat Greek Theater – with only three months to sell it out. The series chronicles the true-life adventures of this modern immigrant family and the obstacles of making it in today’s America."[1]

gollark: And the lack of random access *is a flaw* for many usecases.
gollark: And tar *is* quite bad, it uses an accursuous ASCII format.
gollark: And then deleted the originals.
gollark: Oh, I do. To save storage space, I made a FUSE filesystem which mounts my backups.
gollark: So now you're inefficiently doing random access on top of nonrandom-accessible formats.
