nah it’s just a three-dude-wide strip between the bus stop and the bedroom

Ultimately it’s a matter of personal choice and risk tolerance.

The Z1 will be simpler and have larger capacity, but if you have a drive fail you’ll need to quickly get it replaced or risk having to rebuild/restore if the mirror drive follows the first one to the grave.

Your Z2 setup right now can have two drives fail and still be online, and having a wider spread of power-on hours is usually a good thing in terms of failure probability.

I manage a large (14,000±) number of on-site RAID1 arrays in various environments and there is definitely a trend for drives shipped at the same time to fail at roughly the same time. It’s common enough that we often intentionally swap drives out before shipping a new unit to the customer site.

On my homelab, I’m much more tolerant of risk since I have trust in my 3-2-1 backup solution and if my NAS goes down it’s not going to substantially affect anything while I wait for a drive replacement.

say no more, you son of a bitch. I’m in.

Thick bleach is just bleach that has already found a victim.

Hey everyone, get a load of this fool drinking from an I ♥️ SYSV mug! Ha!

I got the results of the test back. I definitely have breast cancer.

You think you can just go into starbucks, and present your butthole, to all who look at you, while also sleeping on their counter?

I mean, anybody can do pretty much anything they want at least once.

Well, at least the one star 😉

So you’re saying Rust is the TOOL of programming languages.

Point of clarification: DAC is copper, AOC is fiber.

A lot of 10G equipment will support 5G/2.5G SFPs as well, so it can still be beneficial to go 10G on the core equipment.

There’s that awful dad joke that foggy was talking about; Use it as inspiration for your exasperated sigh.

Signing every message should have zero effect for people who don’t use PGP; they’ll just have a cryptic block of text at the bottom of the message you sent.

It’s overkill to ship your pubkey with every email. Most people just publish to a trusted keyserver and call it a day since pretty much every client worth its salt can look up your pubkey directly.

One way they could increase the housing supply is by severely taxing corporate ownership of single-family homes (and possibly low-occupancy multi-family homes like duplexes).

Give it a grace period, say… 3 months (to cover the cases where a bank forecloses and is sole owner while the house is auctioned), then charge like 95% tax on market value every quarter.

omg dude you can’t just ask about white collards

alternate joke: I guess you could say it’s a white collard crime?

This is not always true. Some tablets are extended release and if you break them apart the timing is thrown off. You get a higher dose initially, and the dose doesn’t last the intended period.

A family friend learned this the hard way when they were breaking a seizure preventive tablet in half to make it easier to swallow; they’d often have a recurrent seizure about an hour or two before their next dose time.

I agree with you completely, and I’m glad the game exists. It’s just objectively the worst video game I’ve ever played.

“asked to resign as part of layoffs”

The sheer audacity. “Please quit so we don’t have to pay you severance or unemployment.” It boils the blood.
