No, no. You misunderstood. You have a “memory” of a thing called DDR5, which you used to be able to afford and purchase. You are supposed to bring that memory with you to reminisce fondly while using this piece of junk Dell is trying to sell you.
I “use” ChatGPT because my employer has forced it into the workflow, and they’re the ones paying OpenAI. So I now have a linear relationship with ChatGPT through my employer. The more work I do, the more I use ChatGPT, even though I do not have a choice in the matter and if it were up to me I’d not be using any AI tools at all.
Using it is now part of my performance evaluation beginning this year.
Many times it’s mandatory. Like when your employer forces it upon you and makes it automatically invoke ChatGPT whenever you open a pull request.
Gavin Gruesome at it again
I wouldn’t want to hand it to Anthropic, but compared to the flagrant criminality of Trump it’s basically impossible to not do so.
It even has RSS! Hell yeah let’s go
Wow how have I not seen these weekly roundups before? Cool little news digest
I smashed that switch off the moment I got on ffox 148
Sorry but I find this claim irreconcilable with how SLES and Fedora default to btrfs with their installations, or how a company like Meta uses it across their entire fleet.
I don’t know if Meta uses the raid feature directly or if they use, as you suggested, mdraid with btrfs on top. I know that that’s what Synology does.
I’m not sure what you are suggesting as the alternative. Nor do I know what silent btrfs corruption bug you are referring to, either. Btrfs has been widely deployed in enterprise and personal environments for years, and I cannot find evidence of data loss due to the file system itself.
Absolutely correct. I used to maintain vigorous whole disk backups, and made sure my MacBook also had regular Time Machine backups and that kind of thing.
Then I realized there are actually tiers of important data. The most important stuff would be on the order of megabytes (tax documents, my lease, historical records of that stuff, and config files that I’ve built up over time).
Then I have my vacation photos and videos. Family photos. A few gigabytes. That’s not that much in the grand scheme and it’s still easy to back these up to a cloud service for minimal to no cost.
The rest of the data on my computer is easily recoverable or can be reconstructed with minimal effort. The OS install. The games. Media from online. I would not bother backing up this stuff.
Once this stuff is in perspective it’s very easy to devise a backup solution that fits your needs at an appropriate price. Not everyone has usage like mine and maybe their important data is much larger than mine is, but the point is we should think about which of the data is actually important, and not blindly duplicate pointless data.
Interesting. Looks like I have some reading to do.
Damn. And I thought 3 disks was risky…
three disks to get 6tb/2=3tb of available space
Exactly! A happy outcome when using this FS.
My concern with ZFS is I use Fedora, so the kernel updates really frequently. I know that it kicks ass, but I just like having it straightforward in my kernel that I already have installed so that I never have to deal with a
If kernel module can not be loaded, your kernel version might be not yet supported by OpenZFS. An option is to an LTS kernel from COPR, provided by a third-party. Use it at your own risk:

I was unfamiliar with single mode. What advantage does it give me over RAID0 in terms of combining their capacities?
That’s a good point about scrubbing on RAID5. I don’t think I really want to spend time on that ever. RAID1 at least sounds less complex both in terms of setup and down-the-line maintenance.
with three drives, raid1 doesn’t make sense
It’s perfectly usable with a btrfs setup. If one drive fails, you can mount in a degraded state.
I’ll do what the US and Israel have done multiple times now and just claim this was done by a friendly fire US missile
