To add to this, I deal with massive storage clusters, and it is my firm professional opinion that hardware raid necessitates a proper raid controller with cache vault. If you have that, then you’re golden. If not, stick to software raid.

Correct. Because you’re talking about a different government from my government.

That’s his birth name, yes. But as an artist, his stage name was Joseph Goebbels.

Not to be confused with the R&B propagandist whose birth name is Joseph Goebbels, with stage name Chris Brown

Yes

I love it when I already had you tagged as “LibsBad vatnik weirdo”.

Got any strong feelings on warm water ports you want to share while you’re at it?

Well, we all know what she’s gonna look like… he certainly has a type.

After her disastrous press briefing recently, someone asked if she’d last longer than a head of lettuce (in reference to the Liz Truss lettuce).

Looking at the map, I think I’ve actually been to all of them except Brandenburg and Saarland.

EDIT: Unsure about Thüringen. And upon checking the autobahn map, I may have briefly been to Saarland.

I know. I just never bothered to learn them, on the account of being scandinavian.

But I picked up somewhere somehow at some point that Munchen is in Bayern.

I only count one. Mostly because I only know of one and its location with certainty.

Optional extra, which I do: Change the SSH port to something non-standard. It’s not more secure, but it does cut down on the logspam.

It’s always the guys you most expect

Highly niche requirements not serviced by available hardware without costing waaaay too much. For example, we’re currently using Cisco Meraki MX85, and even they’re not quite there.

Right now I’m using a Fortigate 101E, but eons back I used a simple PC built as cheaply as possible, installed Linux, ip_forward = 1, and iptables.

I am, however, tempted to build something semi-professional based on a banana pi, as I need something custom for work.

I think you’re in the vast majority.

When it comes to the readers expectation, things become a lot more complex. I don’t remember the exact words, but Brandon Sanderson talked about promises to the reader, where it’s OK to do surprising things, but expectations must be carefully managed in that surprises must not feel like betrayal. Poor execution of this is why everyone hates the “…but it was all a dream” trope.

Around 700W on low load, almost idle. Haven’t had the chance to test it at full load yet.

It sits in my basement, so the waste heat is actually useful this time of year. Even more so when my basement would otherwise be freezing.

I plan on implementing scheduling where the two most power hungry servers are powered down and up as needed. The other two take almost nothing.

Also, the UPS supports a green mode that is a lot more efficient but with a downside of output side dropping out a few ms during switchover. This removes any conversion loss. I haven’t tested whether my hardware can tolerate it yet, so for now I’m living with the conversion loss.

My house is powered by cheap hydroelectric supply, generated in a mountain roughly 5km from my house, so I’m not worried.

Superfluous conditional

World’s first weeb was in 1890

300k tonnes of diesel isn’t that much in the grand scheme of things.
