And I was worried that it was the Australian Governments Digital ID shit that would be what gets in my way. You know what reddit, just do it. It would be the kick I need to completely drop reddit.

It’s hard to tell sometimes. Especially when it’s such a sensitive issue where normies will parrot the same ignorant crap over and over again. I one went off on someone, not even considering it was in-jest, because is was so convincingly written.

The /s is important people. I know it slightly reduces the impact of the joke but some people believe that shit 110%.

Congratulations.

How does/can Australia stop the Under 16 Social Media ban? I suspect that this is the first step of many to undermine Australians.

Not really. Even TrueNAS Core (ZFS) highly recommends ECC memory to mitigate this possibility from occurring. After reading more about filesystems in general and when money allowed, I took this advice as gospel when upgrading my server from junk I found laying around to a proper Supermicro ATX server mobo.

The difference I think is that BRTFS is more vulnerable to becoming unmountable whereas other filesystems have a better chance of still being mountable but contain missing or corrupted data. The latter usually being preferable.

For desktop use some people don’t recommend ZFS as if the right memory corruption conditions are met, it can eat your data as well. It’s why Linus Torvalds goes on a rant every now and then about how bullshit it is that Intel normalized paywalling ECC memory to servers only.

I disagree and think the benefits of ZFS on a desktop without ECC outweigh a rare possibility that can be mitigated with backups.

This would be probably help fight the Under 16 Social Media Ban idiocracy, Negative Gearing and and a bunch of other massive topics. Awesome. You just know the Libs would turn the accusations of “radicalized” youth to 11. I love how being anti povo and war is considered “radicalized”.

Banana Pi R3 or R64 (OpenWRT). Some DIY assembly required but it will probably last you over a decade.

My favorite part about these is that they are unbrickable. There is no bootloader to permanently corrupt as the firmware that loads the flash chip is in mask memory and the firmware you load from OpenWRT is the bootloader + firmware. So even if the flash chip dies you can use the other flash chip on the board or with soldering skills replace it and re-flash it.

Hopefully this means coreboot support finally.

Can I donate to your campaign to ban political donations?

Fuck Electron. I hate that current trend. I like my long battery life and being able to run more than 3 applications on my MacBook Pro.

I will always use the example of how I subscribed to Spotify for a couple months back in 2015 and realized that the app constantly sat at the top of the Using Significant Energy list on my mac and was the reason the fan was so loud. I switched away to Apple Music for that sole reason. iTunes by comparison was very power efficient. It plays music for gods sake. How can you fail at playing music that badly.

Then you’re really not doing that much research. I can easily open 20 to 50 tabs for just one project. I’m not defending leaving them open. I’ve finally started to address the problem by learning how to take notes. I chose Joplin for this.

Autism/ADHD is a bitch for some things and note taking and writing up research has never just “come to me”.

So a republicans house is just this but every room is labeled guns?

Ur tolling right?

I’m both. Somehow. I apparently switch between them.

Isn’t the Banana Pi R64/R3/R4 close enough to that?

FYI the open source OpenWRT based Banana Pi R3 AX 4x4 is a thing. Don’t buy closed source Routers/APs on purpose.

Sound like another reason for the “free press” to get reforms about their accuracy reporting the “news”. I am typically against such restrictive legislation but if the news holds that much power, they need to see some regulation put in place.

Every time someone writes x.com I immediately think they’re talking about a porn site. What a shit rebrand. Or what a perfect name I guess?

I suppose one interpretation is that companies can no longer use “buy” and will have to use “rent” for that transaction.

My solution is RAIDZ5 and storing the backup on LTO6 tape with parity/erasure code. I think the fact that scrub times take 24 hours even on 16TB drives is already over the safety margin. If a drive failure happens, the first thing I’ll do to run a manual diff backup which should take a fraction of the time and then run the ZFS resilver.

I’m beginning to see why SSD RAID is being considered now. My guess for HDDs in enterprise is that a RAID 15 (I made this up) would be considered. What I mean is data is stored on two identical servers each running RAID5 or 6. Off the shelf solutions like Gluster exist and that seems to be gaining traction at least according to Linus Tech Tips.

I think the only way it makes sense for Framework to get into the phone market is to follow the footsteps of Pine64 trying to create Linux phones. There’s no point making a phone at an inherently higher cost to make it more durable and repairable with a “closed SDK” SoC that has a fixed EoL date. I made a more detailed comment about this in the main thread.
