Awful, would laugh at you on a date. Better than most.

Seriously, U.S., get your shit together. This crap spills out all over the world thanks to cultural imperialism (Hollywood etc.), no beuno.

To a large degree, the point of RAID is to not care about drive reliability, trust the process. Also, you seem to conflate RAID with backup ("RAID is not a backup"), you want both. In a NAS, you're probably better off with RAID5 + backup.

In a system that can take a drive failure, the current datahoarder zeitgeist is Manufacturer Recertified (Enterprise) Drives, see ServerPartDeals.com if you're a yank, other countries have their own options.

Nope, As long as you're not as uncreative as to use Correct Horse Battery Staple.

I'd suggest you move toward a backup approach ("RAID is not a backup") first. Assuming you have 2x10Tb, get a 3rd and copy half of your files to it, disconnect it, and now half your files are protected. Save, get another, copy the other half, now all your files are protected. If you're trying to do RAID on USB, don't, you are already done, otherwise (using SATA or better) you can proceed to build your array in an orderly fashion.

For even less pain try a ublue variant (Aurora or Bazzite probably for KDE depending if you game). No faffing around with codecs and RPMFusion etc...

Literally is the grub menu...

The *arr suite, e.g. rando hard drive TV show, add show to sonarr, import (yes it's usually that easy), movies - radarr, seeking out stuff you're watching now - prowlarr. Quite mature and way easier than hunting through streaming services.

Either works, but system RAM is at least an order of magnitude slower, more play by mail than chat...

My bad, I didn't read 'built a macOS 13 installer', but now they must return for 'built a macOS 14 installer'.

OS hasn't been updated for how many years?

Ahh, not so sure how great a gift an insecure computer is, but I imagine you have your reasons...

It's Intel, you too can have fedora atomic, and it'll likely last another 5 years.

Seeing as no-one's answering the question in terms of privacy (although I agree with their sentiment)

Trust. You have to trust that they will respect your privacy. They actually talk a good game, are probably superior in privacy to the average android (but not GrapheneOS or Linux) in so much as they fend off other entities trying to hoover your data, mostly so they have exclusive access (at least to metadata, actual data may currently even be secure but that can change and possession is nine tenths and all that). At the end of the day, they're a greedy mega-corporation and cannot be trusted if they need to keep that line going up this quarter. I much prefer transparent systems that keep me in control and possession of my data.

I like their hardware, excellent build quality (shame about long term support and e-waste though). Will probably pick up a cheap M1 Air once Asahi linux stabilises.

Narrator: They were lying about not using the data. They already had.

These sets of concentric shells contain a thin layer of positive mass tucked inside an outer layer of negative mass.

The next question, then, is how to possibly confirm or refute the shells Lieu has proposed through observations.

First, we take some negative mass... Oh, wait.

Still, fresh blood!

Thanks, literally the second option. Blind!

Figured that was likely, haven't found it yet.

I ran across it somewhere, greed makes it sound plausible, but I have no direct evidence.

AGI, then ASI. Goalposts change...
