Absolutely not. At those densities, the write speed isn’t high enough to trust to RAID 5 or 6, particularly on a new system with drives from the same manufacturing batch (which may fail around the same time). You’d be looking at a RAID 10 or even a variant with more than two drives per mirror. Regardless of RAID level, at least a couple should be reserved as hot spares as well.

EDIT: RAID 10 doesn’t necessarily rebuild any faster than RAID 5/6, but the write speed is relevant because it determines the total time to rebuild. That determines the likelihood that another drive in the array fails (more likely during a rebuild due to added drive stress). with RAID 10, it’s less likely the drive will be in the same span. Regardless, it’s always worth restating that RAID is no substitute for your 3-2-1 backups.

You are about to be told one more time that you are America’s most valuable natural resource. Have you seen what they do to valuable natural resources?! Have you seen a strip mine? Have you seen a clear cut in the forest? Have you seen a polluted river? Don’t ever let them call you a valuable natural resource! They’re going to strip mine your soul. They’re going to clear cut your best thoughts for the sake of profit unless you learn to resist, because the profit system follows the path of least resistance and following the path of least resistance is what makes the river crooked!

The most encouraging thing in the whole talk for me was when he told a roomful of IT folks that they need to join or form Unions and they cheered.

This is a roguelike for people who find Nethack too easy. Then you have the option of layering in challenges like blind, pacifist, and vegan. Go ahead, try playing through as a blind, vegan, pacifist Tourist. I dare ya.

No. Israel and the US are perfectly capable of ignoring UN censure resolutions. It’s the US supplying weaponry that is preventing the cease fire.

This is an article about an article. Here is the original reporting by ProPublica.

A list of sherriffs, then?

Meaning car companies will either need to start making vehicles people can afford or the public pressure for public transportation will massively increase. Win-win.

Not true.

He can’t prevent anyone that received the code under the GPL from using (and distributing it) under the old license. He also can’t relicense code that he received under the GPL only under the new license.

If he receives a new license from the other contributors to distribute under a more restrictive license, he can do that because he has a dual license to the code and is not relying on the GPL for his right to distribute.

While you’re waiting, may I suggest Nethack?

They’ve spent literal decades building puns into the game, among other silliness.

There are even Discworld inspired elements to the game, including monsters and even an entire character role - the Tourist.

Edit: Sorry, didn’t catch what community this was, and commented before reading the article (yes, I should know better). I had assumed it was going to be a computer game, rather than tabletop.

7, if you count the large central one, but no way I’m coming up with 9.

Gonna have to disagree with #3 - stopping Vim is not necessary for this. There’s the builtin :! command.

At the last panel, I picture the teacher’s own teacher rolling over in their grave.

Americans used just over 100 trillion megabytes exabytes of wireless data in 2023

Megabytes are absolutely the wrong unit for this amount of data.

Don’t forget /auto, for things that get automatically mounted when you first access them (autofs)

Yes, it’s legal in much of the US. Many states require a permit for concealed carry, but not for open carry. WalMart has signs at the front of the store “requesting” people not to open carry, but apparently not prohibiting it.

Slow down there - you’re making some rather large assumptions about why they have guns. Sure, some people have guns for “self defense” (some for valid reasons, others because racism). Others have them for hunting. Sometimes they’re inherited and have sentimental value.

Edit: Also, kids aren’t the only reason not to keep them loaded. Keeping guns and ammo separately secured introduces enough of a delay to reduce the risk of suicide, for example.

Not a choice he had to make. The NFP parties agreed on a consensus candidate - Lucie Castets.
