The API stupidity a while back. Reddit is unusable without 3rd party clients, and inc3 Joey didn’t work anymore I said goodbye to the few communities who’s members might recognize my username, and proceeded to delete my account.

“Defeated” might be overstating it, but Pakistan generally overperformed compared to expectations with a smaller airforce, as they have a significant advantage in AWACS capabilities (Saab 340, I think?), whereas India is more limited, in the form of a few IL76 and some homebrewed systems in the works.

In this age of BVR capabilities and standoff munitions, airborne radar and intelligence is key to operational success, and Pakistan knows this, whereas India has taken more of a brute force approach to modern aerial warfare, something that was obsolete 40 years ago, if not before.

I don’t think I’ve ever been called a cool and normal chad (or any of the three) before now.

Just for the record, MacOS is a descendant of FreeBSD. At least it was for quite a while.

As long as you have the ram to run it, I find that ZFS covers most of my needs unless I am dealing with something that necessitates beegfs. My basement server has 12 drives in JBOD, tied together with ZFS, and it works fine.

Personally, I’d have some sort of enclosure that could also house a raspberry pi and similar, which mounts those disks in ZFS and shares them via NFS. That’d ensure compatibility with any OS, but it might be overkill.

Whenever I hear MacOS, just assume complete and utter incompetence on my part. I still don’t know how to right click to open a context menu.

But for a more general approach, how portable does it have to be, and how much storage would be ideal? A few TB, or are we talking about PB?

Large scale performance. My job involves obscene amounts of storage, and nothing beats a proper raid controller with cache vault. When clustering many storage nodes into one big filesystem, across several machines, any overhead is awful.

On a hobby-level I don’t mind software raid. I just don’t want to put it into production.

Oh, you specified mammals… I was about to reply “Fish probably do”. I guess whales? Or do they smell whaley?

On a more serious note, I’ve been extensively around female mammals, both human and bovine, and I’d say the smell is more of a meme than actual truth. Personally I’ve never smelled anything fishy. Or Whaley, for that matter.

I seem to be one of the last defenders of hardware RAID, and even I think a portable raid is the wrong approach here.

Which platform is he on? Is ZFS an option?

Haven’t had that problem myself. Sure, being in the IPv4 space of CNPC helps, but I’ve had no issues connecting to my home server VPN from a some residential IPs either.

You should be good. China doesn’t block ALL VPNs. Just typical consumer VPNs commonly used for climbing the great firewall of China.

Their blocks are aimed towards low hanging fruits. Blocking it all would be detrimental to industry.

And some of those that burn crosses, are the same that hold office.

From wikipedia:

Zack de la Rocha sometimes changed the lyrics in the second verse from “Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses” to “Some of those that burn crosses are the same that hold office” when playing live.

Yes I know my enemies; They’re the teachers who taught me to fight me. Compromise, Conformity, Assimilation, Submission, Ignorance, Hypocrisy, Brutality, The elite - All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams

For cases like this, having a server somewhere else and know-how of OpenVPN or wireguard comes in really handy.

You can, provided it’s a good source

I used them a lot in my previous job. From 2015 through 2019 I was a tech for maritime systems such as radios, radars, autopilot, etc. Most of our customers were commercial clients, and when something doesn’t work, knowing who to call saves a lot of time and money.

So whenever I left a ship after a completed technical visit, or commissioning a new bridge system, I left my card.

No. 100% pure and unfiltered mountain water.

After distro hopping for decades, I’ve ended up just running Mint for almost all desktop use cases. This includes gaming via steam.
