It's not JS that's the problem per se, it's what JS is being loaded and very often that's a metric ton of marketing crap i.e. stuff for retargeting, tracking and many other modern horrors.

Meh. To have a little life you have to compete for a good job so you have a good pay. The author frames it as if you can just semi-retire and still have $200K a year which is observably and factually absolutely not true. Like the tired Holl

Sadly no longer true. :(

You seem to have missed the criteria that I gave: namely that I buy stuff that I'll derive direct value from now or VerySoon™. As for brands, obviously that's a thing but it's not always due to propaganda / ads -- often

Yep, that's sadly my current setup. Most of my data are not super critical. When I can spend some $3000 or so I'll absolutely buy several 20 TB drives and just nail the whole thing -- and will use ZFS -- but for now the several sp

Can you give sample commands on how to achieve both options that you gave?

Now I look like an a-hole! :D It's OK, of course, and yes I take a number of stances out there by supporting one and not supporting another, company. My point however was that nowadays that's mostly a feel-good measure. Not the un

Are you being obtuse on purpose or are you really desperate to "win" this debate? EXTREMELY OBVIOUSLY I meant this part of your comment: > As long as you keep signaling to MD that you'll tolerate more and more crap for lo

Another trope that never gets old, it seems. Many people have stopped going to McDonald's by the way. But not enough for McD to hurt. Then what? What does our agency change in the world in this situation? You are using cop-outs as well

Meh. I have no idea if I am smart or not -- the last several years proved to me I am definitely stupider than I thought -- but I know that with time I only started buying things I directly derive value from or in the worst-case scenario, I&

No, I can't imagine that because again, nobody cares. You are demonstrating the problem very clearly btw: you assume people would have cared and that's why nothing was done. Which is a puzzling thing to say. Because clearly, the p

So... somebody responsible for the power supplies does not care? ;)

There are also LED lights that are more pleasant to look at and don't blind you. OP's point stands: nobody cares. Nobody even thought about it for a minute. Everything are items in a spreadsheet. Took me less than a minute to ask

So, since you no longer come across as a brainless optimist, let's continue. > I understand that in this terrible world everyone is drowning, but that isn't an excuse to pull down other people again and again. Absolutely not

Yeah I know, thanks. But ZFS still mostly requires drives with the same sizes. My main NAS is like that but I can't expand it even though I want to, with drives of different sizes I have lying around, and I am not keen on spending for

Since you are persisting, OK, point by point. > It came from a genuine interest in seeing you grow as a person, despite what you might think This is your mistake here, to think I need to grow further. I did. I got to the other end you

You can stop replying now, in case you haven't noticed. Especially after using roundabout ways of insulting. Not interested.

Thanks. I wish would-be parents had psychological evaluation at least. My mother and father were 95% inept to be parents. They did the very bare minimum and then one of them died and the other was, shall we put it softly, just a drag for 22

No, I will not. I was in desperate situations as well, managed to crawl out without robbing anyone. Again, believe what makes you feel good. I am looking out for myself because I was only backstabbed all my life and I am not far from a desp

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I was a guest in communities where people said they had problems with homeless people on a regular basis. You are free to not believe it. I for the moment believe my eyes and ears.

And I also mentioned those. Not sure what your goal is here.

Seriously? But... NVMe drives! I stopped testing because I only have one spare NVMe and couldn't use it with bcachefs. If you or others can get it done I'm absolutely starting to use bcachefs the month after. I do need fast storag

My setup is similar to yours, but I also distribute my most important data in compressed (<5GB) encrypted backups to several free-tier cloud storage accounts. I could restore it by copying one key and running one script. I lost faith in

I specifically said abandoned / derelict. Shall I point you at the wiki page of a "straw man argument"?
867.
by pdimitar 2y ago
I heard police officers say that lot of homeless people are doing some sort of crime. It's not an oppression to read statistics. It's a good first step in trying to fix stuff.
868.
by pdimitar 2y ago
And if they use abandoned / derelict buildings to group up and start their "operations"? Removing those is a nice first step.

by pdimitar 2y ago
FYI: the main reason I gave up on bcachefs is that I can't use devices with native 16K blocks. Hope that's coming this year. I have a bunch of old HDDs and SSDs and I could very easily assemble a spare storage server with about 4T

Look, I completely agree, but let's not make it totally one-sided, okay? F.ex. I regularly have a problem with the cookie-cutter (and utterly meaningless) "advice" of many privileged HN programmers saying "Never had to l
