> That's one of the best idea they have! You might have bought a laptop with 4 USB ports 5 years ago, only to realize you'd be so much happier with two USB-A. Or you realize you never ever use the SD Card slot. Well, you'

Yes, I agree. But there are plenty of GPUs on the market still, and even more on the second-hand market as well. By the time those are depleted we'll have a new player.

You are so quickly accepting a wild assumption -- that all 3 GPU major producers will exit the market. The "memory cartel" bets on people being impatient and COVID has shown that people will just wait out the terrible GPU prices a

I guess time will tell, will it? Your sarcastic remark does not bear any prophetic value. They can act as monopolist as they want. They can try anything and cackle maniacally at their amazing business acumen all they want. Turns out, total

Huh? Only thing I noticed during COVID was a few GPUs and some HDDs getting insanely expensive. Surprise surprise, not even 18 months later (I think more like 14 on my local market) the sellers finally got it through their thick skulls that

I keep hearing this and yet history has proved, time and again, that any overly greedy monopolist achieves the reverse effect of monopoly. Don't get too worried. People still can and do vote with their wallets. Additional vector of att

I never understood the argument of a senior IT person's salary competing for the cloud expenses. In my contracting and consulting career I have done all of programming, monitoring and DevOps many times; the cost of my contract is amort

Interesting. Any examples? I mean, I can probably reverse-engineer something myself but just curious. I am much more interested in the `si` parameter.. but I am fairly sure nobody outside of Google knows what it is exactly.

Thanks, that's actually helpful (your entire reply). What's your preference about copyleft about? Is it that you don't want corporations to keep leeching off of open source? But they do that already! And of course will do the

We are on a fairly technical thread and me coming here, I expect to see interesting technical arguments and counter-arguments. You started your comment with "I don't like the language". I can't find any technical or even

Linear should take notes. In my previous consulting and termed engagements the lack of a good standardized spec templates has been a problem. Of course we ultimately made those but it took much more in-fighting than it should have. If the p

I see, thanks. All analogies are flawed and that's a fact of life but your clarification made it crystal clear. RE: your work, I would probably fight hard to reduce all the bureaucracy-inviting tools (like Jira). That removes the excus

Aha, but that's not a rebuttal at all. The son is just stating a rather very loosely connected fact. If I was the father I'd immediately respond with "Yeah, and?".
352.
by pdimitar 10mo ago
Would you share how? Your comment leaves with a cliff-hanger. I also don't get your son's response at all. How is he contradicting you at all and how does that lead to unwashed hair?

Yeah same, I would love for that to be a thing. Thought it already might be? Not sure it's even the responsibility of bcachefs itself. Dang, I really have to start reading up on Linux again. Falling behind.

I agree hobbyist NAS is niche but it's very useful: less noise, less electricity bills, and not that much less space i.e. if you can find 3x Samsung 870 QVO drives at 8TB, you can have a super solid 16TB NAS with redundancy (or 24TB wi
