Presumably the main reason to get a card graded is if you intend to sell it? Does that not mean there’s an almighty supply shock coming to these markets?

Does anyone know how hard it’s going to be for the Raspberry Pi Foundation to add some extra PCIe lanes to a future model? These boards are really exciting but at the moment all they’re doing is trading off uses for the single PCIe x1 inter

Alternatively, the police target gangs because they’re concerned with committing crimes that impose harmful externalities on the rest of society.

Let’s not pretend back-end taxi/private hire vehicle dispatch is either a complex problem, or one that Uber solved themselves. They added a glossy mobile app to the equation. Many others have since done the same. Driver co-ops or small

I wouldn’t feel comfortable with RAID5/6 even on today’s ~10TB drives. The solution isn’t more parity disks, it’s to move away from that RAID set up entirely.

Just because cars are fungible to you, doesn’t mean they are to other people. The same applies to domains. Some people don’t care if they need to add an extra word, or pick a different extension. To other people it matters a lot.

All cars are produced in limited numbers, and luxury or classic cars can be extremely rare. Even mass produced cars are rarely identical. From new, there are a huge number of ways cars can be optioned, and on the resale market there are myr

You buy a car with the intention to use it, but life gets in the way, and it ends up sitting unused. Somebody else decides your car is perfect for them and is willing to buy it off you for far more than it has cost you. At what price would

I’d rather read a response from you to the question I asked.

Why are you conflating slavery and racism? They are interlinked but separate matters, and to imply all slavers were racist is akin to implying all racists are slavers.

RAID is an abstraction layer on top of the physical disks. RAID 1 (mirrored drives) is similar to what the IA have described, but it sounds like they are creating their mirrors using simple file system commands (or tools like rsync) rather

The paired disks are in a different physical location so they also provide a degree of geographic redundancy. Short of splitting a RAID array across two physical locations (a terrible idea), your proposal would require them to run mirrored

This is mentioned in the video, but they don’t use any form of RAID, just paired/mirrored drives in different physical locations. This is preferred for its simplicity and performance, and if I were in their position I would do the same

Why create a throwaway account just to post this? I don’t think it’s a surprise to anyone that Spotify collects telemetry data on its users. The main reason myself (and many others) use Spotify is because they use this data to recommend new

What’s your concern, that your listening history will be linked to your personal identity and somehow used against you? If that’s the case, why not just sign up using a single-use email address, pay via gift cards purchased with cash, and i

You could argue the opposite, that a time of significantly reduced economic activity and particularly cross-border trade was the ideal time to end the transition period and implement new trade protocols.

I’ve done this (JBOD with USB 3.0 drives on a Pi 4) and it’s surprisingly effective. I can easily saturate the 1G NIC which is more than sufficient for my use case. I don’t use RAID or ZFS so neither the CPU or RAM are limiting factors.

Presumably that board will need a separate PSU, RAM, storage for a boot drive, etc? Also it only has two SATA ports so would need a PCIe expansion card to match the four ports offered by the Pi board? I suspect the Pi is also significantly

I would add that their dreadful customer service extends to domains as well. In my experience having to engage after a technical issue on their side, they were rude, argumentative, and totally unhelpful. If you value your domains I would re
