  • Funny you say that.

    I have listed on my resume & cover letter that I have experience with multiple ai systems, however the creation of my documents are accurate and self-created, not ai-generated.

    I want to ensure anyone reading they’re seeing my own work, not some ai BS thrown together to pretend to be impressive. AI was a good recruiting tool for a few months until ai itself ruined it!





  • God, it’s not hard to read an article instead of speculate in the comments.

    The new built in blocker will use Brave’s adblock library and run in Waterfox’s main browser process rather than as an extension. Kontos says this should make adblocking faster, more tightly integrated, and less dependent on extension APIs or constant upstream updates.

    He also said Brave’s library was chosen partly because its MPL 2.0 license is a better fit for Waterfox, while deeper integration with a blocker like uBlock Origin would be more complicated because of its GPLv3 license.

    Waterfox will still make one exception by default by allowing text ads on its default search partner page, currently Startpage, as a way to support the browser financially. The team clarified that this is Waterfox’s own revenue decision and not something inherited from Brave’s adblocking technology. Users who want stricter blocking will be able to disable all ads with a single setting, while people who already use third party blockers can keep using them as usual.

    This, to me, is fine, because I change the default regardless. There’s nothing stopping anyone else from doing the same. Sure, this could potentially open the door for additional “greedy” decisions down the road, but let’s not jump to conclusions.


  • No, mSATA looks like m.2 but is functionally different, using SATA data not PCIe.

    If you’re using some m.2 to RJ45 adapter, I’m guessing you’re limited to the 1Gbs RJ45 bandwidth regardless of the card’s technology, unless your Ethernet is 2.5Gb or something faster.

    Even if your m.2 PCIe devices support greater speeds, the adapter itself might have “USB 2.0-like” throughput.

    Best bet it you’re looking to add PCIe devices to a supermicro motherboard, buy a m.2 PCIe expansion card to achieve this so you can natively utilize PCIe lanes for the best bandwidth whether it’s WiFi, storage, etc.

    Edit: I realize you said additional sata ports which they have PCIe SATA expansion boards too.








  • Data hoarding with only 16TB?! scratches head

    I’ve got: 10x 8TB drives (Raid5 with 8 and 2 spare) 8x 16TB drives in 2x 4-disc Raid5 (no spares yet) These 3 storage pools are for Plex/ Jellyfin (movies, TV, misc)

    In another “lower power” server, some older 3TB x8 in Raid6 for files and pictures and whatnot.

    I’ve been backing up data for family since the windows vista days, everyone so far has been happy to have stuff archived. Mostly I just back up their physical hard drives or their own backup drives.
