I've had periodic exploding head syndrome when I lie on my neck wrong. Random phantom noises like a single slap on the wall, gunshots, explosions, breaking noises, and crashes that aren't there but seem like they could be.

Hides my Nakamichi DRAGON I honestly can't see the appeal because tapes generally sucked. I prefer records or PlexAmp/Foobar2000/Tidal. If people in their 20's today want to pretend to time travel to 1984, more power t

Not hardly, and not in the way you think. They replaced their arguably purer ZFS port to replace it with ZoL. As such, it's nowhere near as tested and proven as existing solutions like ext4 and xfs Redhat has deployed to millions of ma

I see they are still a tiny regional provider in Santa Clara county, Santa Rosa, and LA. Had them when I lived next to eBay HQ ~15 years ago. https://bestneighborhood.org/sonic-availability/

Meta does a lot of things that don't scale for reliable/trustworthy systems and aren't suitable for all use-cases. (I also used to work there too.) ZFS is only reliable where it was battled-tested: on Solaris. ZoL has been in

I used them for shared personal website hosting until the Obama era when they were mostly/all FreeBSD. I moved off around the time AWS came about.

Yep. It's a cliche that the token scholarship students are paid to do the homework of and take the tests for the rich kids. Large public research universities (in STEM) skew to far more rigorous than Ivies because they're always c
