So I posted not too long ago that I had a drive failure in my RaidZ pool. Ordered a replacement disk (WD RED, purpose built for NAS), and tried resilvering only to see this after a short while…...
Daily reminder that Seagate drives have the highest failure rate and the lowest failure rate of any CMR drive and that WD drives have about 1/2 of the failure rate on average as Seagate drives: extremetech.com/…/331241-backblaze-publishes-stat…
Both WD and Seagate are fine if you do your research into what models are good and bad. For example, get your hand on this Seagate Exos: ST8000NM000A or a WD Ultrastar WUH721816ALE6L4 and you apparently will have a 0% failure rate over 10 years lol.
No brand is overall great. There are great ironwolfs and shit ironwolfs that could fail in the first year. Just like there are shit WD reds (regular reds with shit SMR) and good WD reds (most plus/pros).
Brand loyalty is the stupidest investment a person can make.
I like to think of it as fishing old games out of a dumpster. They were carelessly thrown away, no attempt is made to preserve them or make profit from them.
Because constantly, throughout the entirety of the corporate controlled internet era we are now in, and I mean constantly as in it is hard to find an exception, anonymous data collection has at some point in the future turned into non-anonymous data collection to sell to data brokers.
Hell, there are a staggering.number of services being caught with ignoring opt-out preferences even and non-anonymously tracking users via identification numbers.
The problem I have with it is that eventually, every single closed source “anonymous” consumer telemetry will eventually become de-anonymized and almost always sold. If any capitalist company sees a cash cow that they aren’t milking, shareholders or rich owners will demand that it be milked.
I would struggle to find a case where it hasn’t happened with any popular software
I have been upgrading after a few weeks of being too busy too. I constantly now run out of space on my 50GB root partition even when running -Sc after every update and reboot to make sure everything works…...
I’ve played this game since it first came out and I fell in love with it. The game has improved so much over the years and anytime you don’t like something you can bet your ass there is a mod for it....
They actually seem like quality phones when my girlfriend’s friend got one, but seriously? No headphone Jack and force you to use wireless buds that will have to be thrown away when the tiny battery degrades?
I just started rimworld. I am having a hard enough time even having my colony of 5 people and 40 turtles survive through the -20 degree weather without travelling almost at all 😅 a whole other level here. I can’t mine enough resources at home to expand my house as much since there is very little steel.
Well damn, then the things that are quick for a contractor but hard to DIY and have it look nice like tiling, flooring, and drywall are probably best left to a professional. Thanks!
I love nuclear energy. Well maybe to strong of a word. I am extremely favorable towards it.
But we needed to go majority nuclear 10-20 years ago...
There are so many nuclear safety regulations and red tape (for good reason) that it makes new reactors being started now not financially profitable. Renewables are mugh much better until the current highly excessible lithium deposits dry up (tons of lithium in the world, but a tiny fraction of it is minable without decimating the environment)
But that brings me to my main point: energy providers are constantly for profit just like leacherous landlords. Basic necessities should be run publically in many cases. If you can get electric prices so low that it is almost free provided a large governmental investment (a mere tiny fraction of the military industrial complex budget) then you could literally turn the world around in 10 years. But that is a pipe dream that will never happen.
Oil companies control all of the energy decisions around the world and will sooner invest in renewables than nuclear.
For me also on the Chromecast app and the android app, subtitles will progressively get more and more and more out if sync until it is like a 2-3 second difference then holds there.
I know that the subtitles I got for the episodes are in sync and on the web app they are in sync.
The only thing with jellyfin is the constant subtitle issues for years that are very difficult to resolve I guess and inconsistent across different apps. That and sorting of non movie/show content and not respecting folder view.
Any small-load tools are fine like screwdrivers, measuring tools, maybe some clamps would be ok, but anything with a motor or that had a lot of force put on it is going to break with the bad metal used.
Ideally what im looking for is something like a nest hub but without any built in assistant. I was thinking about buying a cheap tablet and keeping it on a dock or making something custom with a raspi but im curious if anyone has found an off the shelf alternative?
Pi's are very hard to find these days. If you don't want to go full DIY assembly and service setup, then best bet would be a cheap android tablet, maybe rooted with LineageOS if you really don't want an assistant and no tracking, then just use the homeassistant app as a dashboard on it. You can buy a 90 degree power cable so that it isn't too noticable or even a flexible Qi charger adapter and put the charger hidden in a mounting bracket behind it.
Remember everyone, clean out your cold humidifiers at least once a month. Otherwise you are literally just spraying mold spores into the air to breathe in. It is linked to respiratory health problems.
