  • I have one of the affected CPUs 😒

  • People who watched Homestar Runner back in the day: If you have watched any of the sbemails on the website, which sbemail is your favorite of the bunch?

  • I often quote light switch rave 😁

  • Why is HD or 3D so impressive on a flat screen, but we walk around in real life with the highest definition possible and the most realistic 3D and it's completely mundane?

    Jump

  • because the thing on the screen doesn't really exist, so when it appears to really exist it feels like magic

  • I just love pain

  • Is RAID still needed?

    Jump

  • yeah true. I guess what I'm saying is the considerations probably have changed, I seriously doubt RAID is no longer useful though.

  • Is RAID still needed?

  • 3-2-1 is for backup, RAID is also for availability, eg your domain server not going down in case of drive failure. good point though.

  • Is RAID still needed?

    Jump

  • yeah but if SSD failing is now less likely that other parts of the machine it might be better to focus on a redundant server to fail over to.. it's an interesting thought. RAID isn't obsolete I don't think but it's an interesting question

  • Is RAID still needed?

  • I do recall google apparently stopped using raid in some data centres, but it was because they had whole-machine redundancy.

    RAID is probably redundant for some of the uses it used to have, like optimising read performance by using many drives (SSD is fast) and honestly I suspect that SSDs are probably more reliable as they don't have a bunch of platters and bearings and screaming rotational speeds.

    So if you needed it for a base level of reliability, an SSD on its own may have exceeded that.

    I suspect there are still uses for drive redundancy in some high availability setups.. although your friend might be right. If the likelihood of drive failure is lower than other parts in the machine and you need high redundancy for availability it might make more sense to replicate the whole machine rather than the drives.

    It's possible redundancy specifically for the drives was an artifact of unreliable drives back in the day 🤔 they might have a point! I think it's likely still useful at times though.

    I'd rather hotswap a drive than set up a new server, even if it's a less likely scenario.

    "fuck up the party like acoustic guitars" always cracked me up so much.

  • Are you using passphrases? Is it worth it?

    Jump

  • I use an open source password manager and long random passwords for most things.

    my master password is a long phrase though, as well as any I have to type personally sometimes. passphrases are so much easier to type as well

  • I'm tired of always needing to prove my inteligence

    Jump

  • because people look for indicators they recognise to assess intelligence and you don't fit their mental model as easily.

    you could be cynical and say much of that presentation is manipulated and not a reliable indicator of intelligence, it's just that intelligent people are usually better at controlling their signals - unless they have difficulties with social nuances like us. you could also just shug and say you're different and they don't get it for a while, and that's fine too.

    everyone is lazy and uses shortcuts to interpret a complex world. when you're different the shortcuts don't work and people make mistakes. they're also being lazy 🦥

  • yeah I've really noticed it's hard to find info and therefore use any project that does this.

    and it must suck because anyone new, instead of finding the answer to their question in a forum archive from when it was first asked, has to log in and ask it again.

    whenever I have dumb noob questions on setup and I see a discord link I give up a little.
