It means that a disk goes bad and you lose the data. Typically there is some form of protection. I use standard raid 10 which is a bit dated but modern approaches like erasure coding are getting more common. Even if it’s JBOD, you should have a copy of the data in case a drive dies. That’s the value of like raid 5 since it gives you most of the drive space and tolerates a drive failure. RAID is available in software but I’m still using older LSI hardware controllers. A RAID1 mirror would basically be similar to just copying files from one drive to another manually. You get half the storage space but don’t panic when a drive dies. The thing is that drives do die. They are viewed as consumables and thus the question is always WHEN not IF they will die.
I signed up for mastodon when he bought Twitter. The challenge is that I never actually used Twitter so I am lost on what to do with Mastadon. I repost and star posts that are fun but can’t figure out how to follow the conversation. Happy with Lemmy since it’s much easier to follow each conversation. Maybe I’m using Microblogging wrong.
Dudes just out there raw dogging those drives. That takes some guts man. Not sure I have it in me to take an approach like that but it’s something I aspire to. For now, it’s rclone replication.
Just around the time of the 2016 election my elderly neighbor was a Trumper. He asked for some help with his WiFi and I told him that I would fix if it I could name it. He didn’t really know what that meant but I got it working and to this day his WiFi broadcast is “Hillary2016”. I think he’s still pissed but no longer my neighbor although I do smile when I drive past the old place. If his children still spoke to him I’m sure they could help change it.
Did the exact same thing and switched to Apple Music. Unfortunately for some unknown reason, AM isn’t nearly as good in my experience. I have songs that were working and then come up as unavailable later. The recommendations are terrible like Apple is trying to push what they want me to hear not what I am interested in. Using it on multiple devices is painful as I sometimes try to play it on my win10 machine, my Mac, and my iPhone and it can’t figure out that while I am I lay playing it in one location at a time it thinks I am trying to play more than one simultaneously. Maybe I’ll try Amazon music next. I do wonder if Tidal is any good.
