splitters

Still wouldn’t trust it.

It’s been a poop river for hundreds of years and they haven’t separated out sewer from storm water yet.

China has chosen to be the enemy the west and rules based order then.

12 disks go to sleep after 60 min of inactivity

That will kill your drives far sooner than a temperature spike. load/unload cycles is one of the biggest HDD killers.

Google did some research on this way back when. Failure rates start going up at an average temperature of 35 °C and become significantly higher if the HDD is operated beyond 40°C for much of its life. That’s HDD temperature, not ambient.

On the contrary, they found that temperature had almost no bearing on failure rate.

My fileserver regularly ‘enjoys’ 45-50c during the day when I’m not home in summer.

Aircon isn’t cheap to run, so everythings getting fried while I’m at work (getting fried since we don’t have AC at work)

We had this in Australia too :(

Old Men… are the future.

They’re demanding it of Australia (not NATO, but we do have ANZUS) too.

mstream just uses folders, so you can organise however you want.

Apps for Android and iOS, webui for everything else. Does basic (single setting for whole server) transcoding if you wish (I don’t for mp3/m4a/ogg sets, I have them on a second server instance, mstream is very light)

Schapelle noooo…

US already has AEGIS - that’s figuratively skynet.

Navy even gave it control of some guns. (Phalanx CIWS, basically an M61 Vulcan minigun as a drone gun)

It’s almost like it was Musk’s grandfathers plan to annex Canada and Greenland… (it was, Joshua Haldeman and his Technocracy)

“Accio bomb”

No it wouldn’t, Iran would use them immediately to destroy Israel and let themselves be destroyed in retaliation.

That’s 100% what would happen. There is no possible deviance, the second Iran gets the bomb, it will use it.

hmm

The Hong-Kongers deserve a little sympathy, but the ‘rich’ part really does take the shine off.

Hardware RAID is dead.

• They’re no faster than Software RAID today

• They’re vendor and often model locked to a particular make or model of card (so if your card goes bust, so does your array, where software options you can migrate the entire machine to a completely new one, as long as the disks are good so is your data)

• ZFS wants access to individual disks anyway

Check which raid card your Dell shipped with, if it’s a PERC H200 or H310, you can flash it to IT mode to make it work as a plain HBA. If it’s a PERC 700, you’re SOL on IT mode. I’m pretty sure it can expose vdrives, but that’s probably more trouble than getting a cheap HBA at that point.

now

They’ve always been OK with it, now it’s just mask off.
