Time is merely a perspective. I’ve been doing this for 20 years.

Perhaps it is overblown, but one of the reasons I have 8 drives is because I wanted to run raidz2 for the extra redundancy. I’ve had multiple drives die before and so as disk sizes have gone up more redundancy has been important (at least I thought so).

So when my first ZFS NAS (4 disks) developed hardware failure, I decided to get more serious about it. Hence larger rack device with a proper Xeon with ECC memory and an HBA for 8 disks + 2 SSDs and the old drives that survived as a play space. I’ve also used this server now for 9 years.

Node 304

That is a really nice small form factor case. I was recently looking at Fractal’s Define 7 XL because it can hold an amazing 18 3.5" + SSDs.

Wow, that didn’t used to be that way. I guess things have changed over the years.

Exactly what I said

Considering what Google did to the jabber protocol, we can all be glad they gave up, IMO.

You’d be surprised at how many folks take it personally…

Anyone that has a production postgres deployment. For backups.

Its better we stop depending on the single points of failure anyway. The psychopaths will always do whatever they want in the name of the shareholder - even when its not true.

And LG - they are both hot garbage.

Thank you @coffelov for your timely post - I was going to post a very similar question myself today. What sort of hardware are you considering to use for your pfsense server?

There are a lot of possible solutions that could be suitable, wondering what sort of hardware you were thinking about.

The game has only one bug - it crashes at the start screen after displaying “Starfield by Bethesda” - the other 200GB it downloads are just random bytes from /dev/random.

Haaahahahahahahahahahahah. /crying; Good joke, now tell me another one.

Something like 12 years I used Reddit, but they really nailed the coffin lid shut now.

Indeed, Reddit half died for me when they did the redesign, and I only used RiF after that, now its just dead to me.

Is there another option other than Jerboa? I miss RiF…

That’s the idea 😉
