SHR (hybrid RAID) doesn’t really have a good open source alternative unless you’re game to try something bleeding edge like seaweedfs.

The most recommended strategy to replace this is to use snapraid + mergerfs, which absolutely does work and scales but has it’s own drawbacks, namely that it’s a lot more management, it lacks bitrot protection like big players such as ZFS (though SHR also lacks this from my understanding), and it’s offered protection is limited after files change.

In most cases I highly recommended biting the bullet and going with ZFS. It’s a world class solution. With your mix of drives you’d end up using ZRAID-10, which uses more disk space but is flexible to upgrade and offers superior data protection and performance. There are a few push button solutions for ZFS including Proxmox and FreeNAS.

If safety isn’t as important as storage space, stick with Xpenology.

Asked specifically about the GPDA’s calls, Ben Sulayem said: “None of their business. Sorry.

“This is our business,” he said when asked about recent events. “We’ll do whatever is good for the FIA. So it’s really none of people’s business to interfere in ours. It’s the results that we produce.”

“Do we have to tell them? When something in the teams changes, do they tell us? No, they don’t. Nobody has to. We have the rules, we follow our rules. We don’t follow someone else’s rule. Simple as this.”

“I mean, with the media, with all respect, why do I have to answer everything?” he said. “I have a responsibility towards my members and towards the sport.

Arrogant piece of shit needs to be humbled badly, ideally moments before being shoved out the door. He thinks he’s untouchable and unaccountable.

If you’re on X86 you’d probably benefit from virtualizing Arm. Have you tried Anbox? It’s integrated directly with KVM to virtualize Arm first and run Android on that.

Obsidian Live Sync plugin is a great combo of self hosted and offline/local.

Waydroid is vastly superior to BlueStacks anyway

No idea how I’m supposed to take this ranty blog needlessly interspersed with furry cartoons seriously. But it’s basically just restating (poorly) all the same criticisms and alternatives written about here: https://www.latacora.com/blog/2019/07/16/the-pgp-problem/

The ‘real’ criticisms of PGP are that it’s old, it’s clunky, and it doesn’t support forward secrecy by design. None of that is invalid, but I think the importance of those points depends on the use case and user.

The alternatives given are myriad and complexity and clunkiness are interspersed between dozens of solutions instead of well understood and documented in one tool.

That isn’t a superior approach. I’m not arguing that PGP is perfect, but it’s absolutely asinine to suggest (like this blog and others suggest) that the solution is to use dozens of other solutions with their own problems and with less auditing.

If we’re going to replace PGP, we need to do it properly in a centralized library/toolchain. Breaking up the solution and spreading it around just magnifies the problems.

My group uses Nextcloud, and with plugins it has decent support for 3dp files.

Another option I’ve been looking at is https://manyfold.app

Understandable. The Blackbird has that effect on people!

They’re referring to the SR-72 Darkstar

Though it looks more like a Valk, I think.

The long answer is Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

It is. But at the same time it’s important to keep perspective on the sport and the lessions we’ve painfully learned along the way. I can see both perspectives for sure.

What the hell are you on about?

Who’s “we”?

But, sure, sometimes everyone is. And sometimes we’re not.

Nothing is black and white, and anyone who pretends otherwise is either a simpleton or is selling you something.

Refusing to meet bad actors with unified strength and yes, violence when necessary, only encourages more bad actors and actions.

This is a universal truth too many in our peaceful time have forgotten, and so the wheel is turning back towards authoritarianism and violence.

Yes.

Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe, which recently became Daniel and Kelly’s Extraordinary Universe

About half of their podcasts are about astrophysics, another third is quantum mechanics, and the last bit is an eclectic mix of science.

Daniel is an incredible science communicator and a tenured experimental particle physicist, but has friends in many fields to bring in and follows astrophysics developments enthusiastically.

And that’s why you don’t let them contact the Internet.

Managing IoT risk is an easy no brainer if people bother to try.

This is the kind of shit that terrifies me. When Trump first came into power in 2016 it was a shock for everyone, and he wasn’t prepared. He took office with GOP traditionalists mostly in his cabinet and in his reporting structure. Several of those found him despicable and put up resistance.

This made his first presidency extremely ineffectual.

No such luck this time, every one of these fascist fuckers knows exactly what they’re doing and are eager to get to work.

If those are the only 3 items they’re suing over, in an American court of law it’d be a slam dunk for PocketPair. Theres so much prior art, open use, and poor definitions involved the patents would be quickly invalidated.

But I’m not aware of the nuance of Japanese court, only that they tend to protect IP even more strongly than US courts.

Edit: fuck it, I haven’t been very interested so far, but I’m buying a copy of palworld today. Software patents are a broken system and Nintendo deserves every bit of fight given to them.

It’s impressive we give so much control of our financial instruments to idiots who obviously don’t fully grasp how tariffs and protectionism work.
