Fair cop, you got me.

So replace OP’s schools with subjects…

Rechargeable batteries were the default.

Replaceable rechargeable batteries were the default.

I was just colloquially referring to away from Earth as North.

Have you looked at LocalAI seems pretty useful, if I was setting up again I’d go containerized…

Srsly, no-one going with the “it’s free real estate” meme.

Jokingly, but also really, seems a waste. I get they don’t want the overhead, but just boost it north, perhaps to a Lagrange, maybe just high orbit, but someone will come along to salvage eventually…

ETA: Also, one of the beauties of SpaceX is that Musk doesn’t muck with it (yet), working too well without him, unlike everything else he’s bollocksed up.

Isaac Asimov used to say that the real sound of scientific progress wasn’t “Eureka!”, but rather, “Hmm. That’s funny.”

To a large degree, the point of RAID is to not care about drive reliability, trust the process. Also, you seem to conflate RAID with backup (“RAID is not a backup”), you want both. In a NAS, you’re probably better off with RAID5 + backup.

In a system that can take a drive failure, the current datahoarder zeitgeist is Manufacturer Recertified (Enterprise) Drives, see ServerPartDeals.com if you’re a yank, other countries have their own options.

I’d suggest you move toward a backup approach (“RAID is not a backup”) first. Assuming you have 2x10Tb, get a 3rd and copy half of your files to it, disconnect it, and now half your files are protected. Save, get another, copy the other half, now all your files are protected. If you’re trying to do RAID on USB, don’t, you are already done, otherwise (using SATA or better) you can proceed to build your array in an orderly fashion.

These sets of concentric shells contain a thin layer of positive mass tucked inside an outer layer of negative mass.

The next question, then, is how to possibly confirm or refute the shells Lieu has proposed through observations.

First, we take some negative mass… Oh, wait.

Still, fresh blood!

So, it’s the Government that should change, makes sense to me /s

Or, you know, savage penalties for these shenanigans and bringing back a public service, seeing as, no it’s not cheaper to outsource in point of fact.

TIL, and it makes sense.

Wrong, but entitled.

Give blood.

Huh, TIL. Wait, no, Gaia means Earth, not milk. Fact checking, not just for plebs.

Somewhere there was an asshole who made a decision, one of our failures as a (global, makes it harder) society is failing to hold responsibility accountable. Do the crime, do the time.

If you’re doing weird shit, partition the 4TBs into 2x2TB, now you have 10x2TB. Or use unraid / mergerfs + SnapRaid.

You like saying no a lot, eh?

I only read the first sentence and the last. Just like every reviewer ever. Be well.

Annoyingly insightful.
