We all knew he would. And he'll suffer no repercussions for his crime.

It's pretty simple actually. Do you live in an area where Sinclair controls the local media? It's easy to cast aspersions at these people's intelligence. Pretending like they are somehow working hard to avoid all the evidence and information that we've seen. When the truth of the matter is. They're not avoiding anything. They're simply living in a toxic swamp unaware. Their local broadcast stations telling them how evil Democrats are and how wonderful Trump is. Facts and Truth never really make it to them. And they are denied the ability to be basically informed. Without going against their communities and family. Seeking external information and questioning what everyone else perceives as real.

It's a hell of a trap these cancerous capitalists have managed to erect.

Has gone? More like had gone. Way back when he was still running Oculus. People just liked the project that he was working on. He still wasn't a good person back then.

Honestly I think at this point any animosity still held about the burning of the White House should be forgotten. Hell I'd even let them Canadians do it again on one condition. Make sure him and as much of his administration are inside and the doors are locked this time.

Fetterman was always fake. The people in his hometown know. It's just that against an even worse fake he can still look okay

LOL yes the same here. And I see they did exactly as I predicted further down

This is TDD we're talking about. One of the louder more prominent blue maga screechers. Who still hasn't realized or just doesn't care that they were made a fool of and used. That has massive dreams and whose failures are even larger than those dreams. Blasting themselves in the foot all the way down.

TDD is third party ride or die. They know that that is where it's at. They're only 7% away from breaking 10% in national elections that's so close! Only another 40 to 50% for them to win an election. That's practically nothing! Why would anyone want to reclaim the Democratic party. Use it's brand recognition and reputation with the average person build strength and coalition. It's got cooties! /S

That's the level of logic you'll get in any responses from them.

Because our money isn't their primary funding. They only raise a lot off of us every 4 years. Republicans spend that amount they raise every year or more. Especially if you count the Media consolidation and controlled messaging. There is nothing like it for democrats.

So they rely on many of the same large corporate donors who are just playing the entire field. To their own benefit. It makes for very strange bedfellows. They need their money to advertise and operate. But they need our votes in order to actually hold office. So when things come to a head and start competing the funding wins every time. They can lose comfortably and continue to do what they're doing. But winning means giving up the easy cash and putting in hard work. It all goes back to Reagan breaking the unions. It's why there's such a disconnect these days. Labor used to be the primary funder of the democrats. And now they're just still talking point.

Well I guess all these years later we finally get to quit picking on Neville Chamberlain so often. Because we have a new example

That's the power of mass media and especially social media propaganda. People live completely isolated from facts and reality.

An officoanado of the Cody showdy.

I thought that was the metaverse.

I only get all my news and current events from Raid shadow legends! Or the Hoyoverse whatever the fuck that is.

Absolutely. It's actually kind of ironic considering the episode ”the Internet is coming" actually had one of the better portrayals of a trans person in popular media for some time. Better if they actually cast a trans person for the role. But still.

I would never watch anything new with him attached. Though I don't think that's a worry now. But I'll watch the old stuff for the great cast. Moran and Bailey were fantastic in black books. Probably didn't hurt that Moran had a large hand in writing too. Parkinson, Ayoade, O'dowd, Fielding, and Berry are what made the IT crowd not Linehan. The proof is in the pilot for the version they wanted to foist on us yanks. Even with Ayodae returning, he couldn't make it funny by himself. And that's saying something.

Obligatory

When they fail or when the capacity becomes a hindrance. Other than that if you follow your 3 2 1. You shouldn't lose data.

Replacing after 50,000 hours in enterprise data center setting makes sense. At home it's not too much issue for me to have a day of downtime replicating data back across drives. It'll just cost me my time. In an Enterprise setting it will also cost you money. Possibly even enough or more to justify retiring them at 50,000 hours. Though again if you have raid setup with spare drives etc. You can just keep on running while the raid rebuilds itself. Only replacing a drive when they go bad. Or started acting up preparing to go bad.

It all honestly depends upon your it departments budget competence and staffing. It's not wrong to replace some after 50,000. But it could be wasteful. There are after all people like myself who buy those drives and run them for years without incident.

Vibrational mode failure is more a thing in large SAS backplane enterprise jbod rack mount deployments. Small workstation/NAS deployments with three to five drives etc. Using rubber grommets and all shouldn't have too many issues causing failure from vibration. However a large Bay full of drives spinning up and down reaching harmonics can absolutely tear themselves apart over time for sure.

In 40+ years of using HDD I can count failures on one hand. Generally related to power issues. I have many well over 70000 hours. I recently picked up 2 used 12Tb Enterprise drives for less than the cost 1 consumer 12Tb drives to add to the mix as well. I have another 8 to 12 decommissioned enterprise drives in different systems.

You never trust your data to a single drive or single medium. Otherwise effectively you've already lost it. And dollar per dollar SSD simply cannot beat traditional hard drives for capacity. Just seek time and transfer rate.

Just my music library is over a terabyte of largely 320 bits per second mp3. Storage for miscellaneous videos about six times that. And then my streaming library of video. Has been traditionally large enough to make re-encoding and shrinking worth while to get more. Upgrading from divix/xvid in the late 90s early aughts. H264 in the early 2010s. H265 in the late 2010s. Currently converting to av1 from source discs etc. Some of the spinning rust I am using has seen all those Transitions and been Rewritten many times. Which would have been very rough on an SSD. LOL I may have a problem.

Regardless there's nothing wrong with any particular storage technology. No reason to avoid one over the other as long as it does what you need. And if you're data is small enough to fit economically on an SSD then they will suit your solution perfectly. Just remember your three, two, one.

9th Gen isn't bad. Though I'm guessing you probably still paid 200 to 300 for it. The problem with the i-5 is no hyperthreading. It definitely benefits a server system. But still will function nicely. And you would need at least 6th Gen to run NVME.

The 8Gb actually should be fine. I run kde plasma on an arm based Chromebook tablet with only 4Gb. Still have RAM to spare. So you can have a graphical desktop and still do plenty serving. Just make sure to check out the system. Either the OEM. Or the motherboard. Find out what Ram it supports and keep an eye on eBay. All the new systems with ddr5 should see a lot of used ddr4 coming up for sale at good prices. In the near future you can probably quadruple that Ram for 50 to 100.

The storage technology that you choose to use at this point should not be a huge factor. SATA SSD or nvme SSD you aren't liable to notice a crazy difference. Either will be way faster than HDD. But generally create the base partitions your distro will likely suggest. If you're just starting out there's nothing wrong with going with that. Usually a 500 hundred to 1 GB boot / UEFI partition and then a few tens of gigabytes for operating system on the same storage device on a separate partition. If you have any remaining space. That would be a good spot to create a partition for home directories which are typically where you will store all your media or you can actually have a whole physically separate device another nvme or SSD or even hard disk to use as the home directories or storage for media. You can map them in the fstab file later fairly easily with the KDE partition manager or gparted.

No worries. And honestly if you haven't already committed to a particular Mini PC or absolutely need the form factor. I'd seriously suggest looking on eBay for some old e-waste.

I personally run an old dell business system with a 4th Gen i7 with 16Gb of ram. Cost about 100 dollars when I got it. I run a Minecraft server, Luanti server, jellyfin for movies and TV streaming, icecast/liquidsoap/libretime to stream my own private automated Internet radio, and NFS/SAMBA for NAS. And I still have RAM, CPU, and bandwidth free on a 1gbps network.

The only thing a newer system will net you is possibly a bit more power efficiency. Which depending on electricity costs where you are might make a new system attractive.

Lol but getting into homelabbing, new or old; it's still a gateway drug. One of my favorite BSD/Linux things. At least for hardwired clients is just having my home directory on the NAS. I have a........few systems, and being able to have my downloads and documents etc all right there. Being able to wipe and reinstall the workstation without worrying about my data if I want to distro hop. It's great. Only downside that pops up rarely is file locking. Other than that my files and app settings follow me to all of them.

Honestly 10-20 Gb for OS. 200-500 Mb for UEFI. Everything else separate. A cheap SATA low capacity SSD is fine for the OS usually. Bulk storage is still cheapest on Hard Disk.

M.2 is great and all if you can afford. But unless your network is over 2.5 gbps or you are simultaneously streaming large video streams to multiple clients. Regular SATA drives will be able to keep up fine.
