   This was my first computer - way back in 1987. My friend had an Amiga, and I just didn't "get it" back then. Looking back, I should have spent a few $$$ for the Amiga :-)

   I think the preferred method is to buy the same drive type from different vendors. This should help avoid getting drives from the same batch from the factory.

   Been using a combination of TrueNAS and Debian+ZFS for a long time providing backup services for both production and non-production (personal) systems. As mentioned above, I am using TrueNAS v13 as a Time Machine repository server for 3 Ma

   Maybe something like an RPi4 with external storage and wifi? With a quick google search, I am sure you can find a bunch of SBC (single board computers) with wifi that can be used to host something like TrueNas or Debian + ZFS.

   Same here. 3 Mac Laptops connected to my TrueNAS server (v13) over wifi. Each laptop has its own separate ZFS dataset. Works great. No issues thus far. That said, I have not tried to restore from TimeMachine yet. I need to try that th

   Appreciate the point of view, but I am a systems/infra engineer - not coder. It would be pretty cool to learn how Twitter keeps its infrastructure running all the time. Even though I have been doing my speciality for a long time, I w

    ...agreed. Contrary to the HN bias, it might be interesting to work for a high energy/high demand place. After you rebuild the staff with people who have not been involved in the recent leadership change, it could turn out to be a fa

    I am running Nextcloud v23 with the Draw.io package installed using the autosave feature. Works great. I am looking to install the Only Office (or LibreOffice) to see if they also have the auto save feature.

    I was a Path Finder user until I found ForkLift. It has dual pane support, easy drag/drop, easy connections to remote servers, etc. Feels better/faster/easier to use than Path Finder (IMO) plus it is less expensive - $19.95

    I don't know where you work/worked before, but I've only had 1 "bad boss" in my +30yr IT career. Even that boss did not rise to the level of "bad bosses" constantly criticized here on HN. Most/all o

    Agreed. I have been reading HN for a while, and the overwhelming tone here is definitely "screw the manager/CIO/CEO" together with "If I have to go into the office, I will quiet quit, quit without notice, sabotage

    Wait, are you saying you would actively sabotage your place of employment because they asked you to work in the office? Did you have the same feeling before WFH was even a thing? Edit: Also, what does "torturing ICs with RTO for reaso

    Exactly! Just like I said in my comment down below. Most commenters in this thread just assume Musk told a bunch of guys just to show up on TLSA time to do some code review. My suspicion is he helped setup some sort of consulting arrange

    Making up what - the very plausible idea one company hired a team of experts from another company to come in and do an audit? Is that so unreasonable? Again, the Musk haters are out in force.
18. 168.▲
    by rtp4me 4y ago

    Yeah, the Musk haters are out in full force. Perhaps he simply paid them from his own pocket (eg consulting rate) when they were "off the clock" from their day-time job? Seems very logical to me.

    Thought I would share this with the HN crowd. We have a PGSQL 11 server running in Azure that was getting low on disk space. Instead of adding more space (and more $$$), we decided to compare the performance of a compressed ZFS volume wit

    I have seen the same behavior with BTRFS. We create nightly snapshots on our servers then prune older snapshots. Watching 'top' output shows a 5-8 second delay until the BTRFS cleanup agent starts. The agent could take many sec

    Is this an over-the-counter herb? Sounds like my wife and I need to do some research on this... Edit: Yes, in fact, it is over the counter. Seems GNC, Walgreens, etc has this on the shelf. Thanks for recommending it!

    Yep, and worst of all. Her doctor seems quite hesitant to link (or even recognize) any of these after-affects from the COVID shots to MS. Very frustrating to say the least.

    Thanks for the reply. No, I don't believe her doctor has mentioned LDN (yet). I will ask. She is trying to do as much as she can w/out getting more meds. For now, she has been managing her stress as best she can as well as goin

    Not trying to be argumentative here, but you seem really focused on "wealthy people" taking more from non-wealthy. Please see here: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/11/the-pandemic-stimulus-checks...
