There's a large market for gaming-oriented mobiles, I won't disagree. Still, the traditional tower market is shrinking in every vertical EXCEPT gaming, where it has actually grown in the past couple years. Personally, I detest lap

Per mile travelled, (modern) elevators are literally the safest form of transit ever developed by our species. They are rather impressive devices from a safety perspective, somebody else linked the video in the thread so I'll chime in

Even a 10” neon tube needs enough amperage to cause a fatal electric shock.

Single socket Ivy/Sandy Bridge-EN servers exist and only need three DIMM’s for max performance, that’s what I run FreeNAS on (R320 with a E5-2450L, mind you I have six DIMM’s).

The problem is HIPAA doesn't allow one to share data without a reason - in fact it's only to be ACCESSED with a reason even by those with privileges to do so. I would trust Google to keep data safe, but brazenly asking for data wi

From a G Suite / GCP point of view they really only have to worry about the HIPAA Security Rule, most of which can be punted off on the client (they need to audit and control access to the platform, proper breach notifications and a BA

There was just a talk on it this year, it’s coming but between the time it takes to go stable in OpenZFS and the time it takes to hit downstream (FreeBSD, ZoL) it might not be for a while yet.

Mirrors, unlike RAID-Z, can be added later. They can even be detached from the pool as long as one mirror from the device remains.

I don’t run Z-RAID 5/6 personally so it’s been a non issue, but that functionality is in the works right now.

Don’t populate all 16 DIMM’s unless you need that much memory? Both my single-socket R320 and dual-socket R520 idle at 70W each with 6 DIMM’s installed. Most people probably don’t need the gobs of memory I have either. A R520 with one socke

You’re confusing the expansion of a ZFS pool with the expansion of a RAID-Z vdev. Throwing new disks into a pool has always been possible, adding them to an existing RAID-Z vdev isn’t (yet, block pointer rewrite and RAID-Z expansion are com

If you’re wanting a storage box usually it’s just less headache to buy used server gear off eBay. Plenty of bays, DDR3 RDIMM’s are cheap, and power efficient ivy/sandy bridge systems are finally in affordable price ranges. I’m the kind

Threadripper’s 4 die variant had to be “neutered” to remain compatible with the TR4 socket without splitting memory bandwidth. The new I/O chiplet would solve that issue entirely, assuming it comes to Threadripper 3.

ZFS is not dominated by Oracle, Open-ZFS is the source of record for anything other than Solaris and critical features are being added that Oracle cannot use without opening their branch back up under the CDDL. The CDDL also includes a pa

Maybe it’s because I’ve already been using it for years, but I don’t really consider ZFS any more difficult to manage than the DM/LVM/*FS stack I work with on most Linux systems. Compared to just running gdisk and using raw partit
