  • Yeah I would not touch RAID 5 in this day and age, it's just not safe enough and there's not much of an upside to it when SSDs of large capacity exist. RAID 1 mirror is fast enough with SSDs now, or you could go RAID 10 to amplify speed.

  • No, it's only more difficult for those without the skills to use the Index or Table of Contents in a book. Which is not really much of a difficult skill to learn. You pretty much need to know about alphabetical order and how one is at the front and the other is at the end of the book.

  • Well, here's how you figure that out - think about it with your brain. Should children and young adults be given materials and assignments that require them to use thinking and develop their brains, or should they be given machines to do their thinking for them so that it's easier to complete schoolwork?

    One route develops valuable brain skills that can be useful for life, and the other teaches dependency on fancy machines to accomplish the same.

  • Micro solar is doable for anyone with yard space though. Forget the grid and buy some battery storage, put all the electronics into a small shed (like a garbage can box or something, an enclosure to keep out rain). Put up panels anywhere you want. Run the inverter output into your house.

  • Apparently it's a manly man who does not receive negative man points for eating yogurt like a sissy. Non-yogurt males can only eat manly meats and must achieve constipation.

  • That's a good point, that is possible but not absolutely certain. I could probably get a smaller version of the wikipedia dump to fit on a BD-R disc but not 69GB.

    USB drive or SD card archival might require a 6-month maintenance routine of inserting into a computer and verifying the files are still present etc.

  • I did already, tried the XOWA client to run a local copy on my PC. Wasn't as easy as I hoped but it worked.

    Planning to get a couple of USBs stashed away with full copies of Wikipedia and the reader app for knowledge security. You can fit the whole thing with a working installation onto a 128GB USB or less. My install dir was about 69GB total.
