Not bad, I thought our heads were still further up our asses.

Which is why the guy tha lost might have been a better option.

I use Immich. It does what you described as well.

The yen rebounded against the dollar on Ishiba’s victory after falling on news he would face the run-off against Takaichi, a monetary dove and fiscal expansionist.

A monetary hawk, or hawk for short, is someone who advocates keeping inflation low as the top priority in monetary policy. In contrast, a monetary dove is someone who emphasizes other issues, especially low unemployment, over low inflation.

Not sure if they got the better deal here.

I’m not sure why every time I look at this project, it rubs me the wrong way. Anyone found anything wrong with it?

It’s kinda inevitable isn’t it. If you put more people to study, do R&D, engineering, provide the necessary resources for them to do those things, the more hours worked should produce results faster. You limit the health and safety guardrails a bit and things get even faster. Skip having to do the earlier development by getting foreign capitalists to build factories on your soil and share their IP, and things get even faster.

I think data checksums allow ZFS to tell which disk has the correct data when there’s a mismatch in a mirror, eliminating the need for 3-way mirror to deal with bit flips and such. A traditional mirror like mdraid would need 3 disks to do this.

For some time now it’s become logical that the way to maintain sanity among Israelis would be to maintain a comfortable fiction instead of facing reality. It follows that anyone attempting to poke holes in the fiction would be ostracised in order to maintain it. The alternative would be too painful. It would mean they have unequivocally failed to refrain from doing to others what was done unto them. Of course not everyone is in with the program so there would likely be a growing rift between those that want to keep living in the fantasy and those that don’t.

I guess somewhat unsurprisingly a rift might open up between Israeli Arabs and Jews:

Israeli Arabs are much more likely than Jews to say the country’s military response has gone too far (74% vs. 4%).

Due to risk of failure or risk of data corruption because the mirror can’t tell which drive is right when there’s a difference?

Get more drives, run higher redundancy 💪

Three-way mirror?

Buy recertified enterprise grade disks from https://serverpartdeals.com. Prices were around $160/16TB the last time I checked. Mix brands and models to reduce simultaneous failure. Use more than 1-disk redundancy. If you can’t buy from SPD, either find an alternative or buy external drives and shuck them. Use ZFS to know if your data is correct. I’ve been dealing with funny AMD USB controllers recently and the amount of silent data corruption I’d have gotten if not for ZFS is ridiculous.

I don’t think anyone makes SMR drives in the current lineups anymore.

Switching wholesale from a brand or model to another could be counterproductive. There are myriad of reasons why drives can fail that aren’t related to the brand and the model. What if you unknowingly switch to a less reliable model because of such a reason? You’d end up worse off. For example according to Backblaze’s data, Seagate is generally worse than WD.

A better way to do this is to mix brands and models so that there’s less probability to fail at the same time. I have both WD and Seagate in a single storage pool, even if the Seagate model is objectively less reliable according to Backblaze.

No no no

That’s one way to avoid the front line.

Jesus fucking Christ. And these fuckers would win a reelection today.

And they managed to do that with those lazy US workers? Wow.

Snap

Ignore the noise and go with Ubuntu LTS. When you get comfortable with that, you could try Debian.

You could play it backwards too. Try Debian, if you can’t get it to do what you want, wipe and do Ubuntu LTS. But I do not recommend this path if you have no idea what you’re doing. People underestimate how difficult it is to do simple things when you don’t know how to, no matter how trivial.
