What’s your stereo you’re connecting the record player to?

I also have to deal with spinning rust at work and working with large programs (Visual Studio in my case), but I don’t blame the modern large software for not running well on 1990s hardware.

If 37MB/s is 100% of your disk then it’s your disk’s fault. That’s not even 5% of a modern solid state disk. That’s also not a lot of memory for modern intensive programs such as you’re using.

I have no idea what’s wrong in this picture. Software using some disk and memory? Oh noes.

I still maintain that Emby is better than Jellyfin. I try it again maybe once a year and every time I end up back on Emby. It just runs better, works pretty flawlessly and doesn’t lose my libraries every so often. Music playback is better by far on Emby and that’s my main usecase.

Hardware decoding would be nice, but I don’t have a system I could use this on for either and I’ve not had trouble without it.

I really only used it for syncing photos from my phone so I went to Syncthing. The NC web interface I found far too slow to be any use, so I just mount network shares over NFS.

And that is why I no longer run Nextcloud

Others have stated how they’re different already. To an end user the difference is that EndeavourOS is incredibly good, whereas Manjaro is a bit pants.

Mono does mean one, but that’s not the legal definition of a monopoly.

Played a bit of Metro Exodus last night. One of the best games I’ve played in a while, even though the silence of your character is weird.

RAID does not work today with any disks you may have: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l55GfAwa8RI

.The only sane option is ZFS with zRAID1/2.

Removed by mod

An HBA with the SAS cables should run to about £50 used.

Started Metal Gear Solid V yesterday. Spent about 2.5 hrs on it but think I’ve only actually played 45mins of actual game play. Fuck me there’s a lot of cut scenes.

Sounds like a good plan to me

I’ve switched to restic for my backups and have been very happy with it. Very fast, encrypted and snapshot history.

RAID gives you greater uptime. That is all. You should also have backups. So how much uptime do you need?

Backups only used blocks. Backup to or from various locations, NFS shares, ftp, WebDAV, ssh server, samba, etc. Encryption of the images, backup of single partitions or whole disks.

If you want to deploy to several machines at once it also has a load of tools for that too.

You 100% want to use Clonezilla for this job. It should be on everyone’s Ventoy stick.

Who has more chance of a single disk failing today: me with 6 disks, or Backblaze with their 300,000 drives?

Same thing works with 6 vs 2.
