Local hardware horse here!

To elaborate a bit, the storage replicas will span three physical servers in realtime, all of which get snapshots hourly in case we need a rollback, and full backups weekly to a fourth system on mechanical drives with 2-disk failure tolerance. This should mean that data loss requires 4 simultaneous system failures.

We have a tape library for automated tape backups, but can’t afford a drive upgrade just yet to make it make sense. The drives are often several thousand dollars, but the tape media is cheap.

Offsite backups are currently in the works, though if anyone has recommendations I would love to add them to our list for consideration.

If anyone has additional questions or suggestions I would be happy to answer tomorrow!

Also that account is BRAND NEW, as in less than a day.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Yes, I have one and remember doing just that.

Sounds like serious insecurity. A lot of these memes are more along the lines of queer folk finding an accepting community and having fun posting things that would normally result in cyber bullying.

Also the boykisser thing has always just been a joke. Don’t take it as an insult or something.

I am nearsighted and wanted a ~75” tv for the bedroom so I don’t have to lay sideways on my glasses while watching and cuddling.

I could not find a single non-smart tv in that size. Nobody is interested in selling dumb TVs because there is money to be made :/

It’s extremely difficult to find a dumb tv in sizes larger than ~55”. You really don’t have much choice at the moment. I personally host a jellyfin server and play that via apple tv over hdmi, but content recognition still does its thing. Best i could do was deny wifi/ethernet to the tv and have no open networks.

The general theory is that musk dislikes any public transit that decreases car dependency. My personal feelings are more along the lines of “rich dumbass doesn’t like ideas that help the poors”, but obviously that may very well be cynicism on my part.

As the owner of a 2016 smart fortwo, they are too expensive, and servicing can be expensive due to mercedes benz. Cute cars, but the price sucks.

Individual lawmakers have personal values and agendas. Humans are chaotic contradictions cloaked in a semblance of order.

Dude. You are arguing with people who are explicitly NOT tankies. Nobody is claiming communism is a solution, just saying that going for the anti-intellectual guy with no implementable policies is not going to help. He is a rent seeker that is good at riling up crowds.

He is a populist.

Pretty much this for me too. Switched to iphone because I no longer wanted to tinker, switched my work laptop to apple silicon because the battery life and performance is stellar.

Learned to be fine with mac os, do most things in terminal anyway. Will likely switch to asahi linux when it is stable enough that I don’t have to tinker, because tinkering gets in the way of actually getting things done in my situation.

Also, being real: running LLMs on my mac is great. 128gb of unified memory basically means 120gb of vram. It’s absurdly expensive, but nothing quite like it exists in the market right now.
