  • Awesome!! Glad to see things are going nicely. Also the hosting costs are less than I expected! That’s pretty neat! Looking forward to seeing everything grow! You’ll have my donations for as long as I am able to keep donating. Love the transparency and you’re doing a great job!

  • I take 300xl and serterline 100mg daily. It helps with my depression and adhd. But no where near the help that stimulants eg adderall, vyvanse, etc.

    It’s enough to where I’m not completely useless when I can’t get stimulants though. I haven’t noticed any real difference when taking higher doses XR or SR. So ymmv. I hope it does make a difference for you though, it’s really amazing when your adhd isn’t holding you back 😂

    I wish it did something close to adderall because the hard time getting stimulants is really fucking up things for me. Thankfully I have very understanding boss and co-workers.

  • Neat!! Always good to see innovation and a project built to scratch an itch! Looking forward to seeing where it goes!

  • That’s awesome! Glad to see that my donations from canceling Reddit premium are making a difference. Hopefully the owners can eventually make an actual living off of this. Would be good for everyone involved

  • The world would be a much better place with Aaron Swartz and more people like him. He was such a good dude.

  • Do Aliens Exist?

  • I totally agree with you on that. Still out of all the other possible scenarios at our current stage of civilization you gotta admit a benevolent overlord is the best case scenario

  • Do Aliens Exist?

  • Abso-fucking-lutely. There’s almost no reason there wouldn’t be any.

    Are we likely to meet them? no.

    If we did meet them now the best case is a childhood’s end situation.

    That being said it’s likely we might find something on Europa or Titan if we’re correct about those moons. But that’s a long shot at best.

  • I'm sure this has got to look great for an IPO...

  • That’s a bold stance considering who it’s coming from. I wonder how willing he’s going to commit to it 😂

  • If you want a rolling release and like fedora maybe looking at rawhide. Otherwise suse tumbleweed is a solid choice.

    Since you’re asking about Debian then SID is pretty much the rolling release version. This is what Ubuntu pulls from before doing their stuff. If you want close to bleeding edge this is a great way to get that rolling release feel. I know a few people who swear by it! I ran SID for a little while and it was okay but not for me. Arch was definitely better IMO for that. It’s also pretty easy to install arch (or gentoo) these days.

  • I use Backblaze B2 and restic. Just a simple systemd unit & timer setup to kick off the backup. I also have a restic repo setup on a external drive for my most important things eg family photos. I try to follow the 3,2,1 rule as much as possible. Fedora magazine has two articles on the site about setting up restic like that. They’re pretty helpful if you need pointers.

    If there’s something I want to share or don’t need/want encrypted I’ll just use rclone to sync it to B2.

    Backups are very cheap with B2, restores can be costly. But cost less than something like AWS Glacier. So it’s my last resort for restoring things. Mostly I rely on snapshots in the case that I delete something by accident. (Check out SANOID)

    I also have all my other systems using B2. I have a bucket setup for all of my family’s laptops that they backup too as well. Keeps everyone’s data safe.

    If you have some data that required putting on an eyepatch & tricorn (Yarr me matey) to acquire and you don’t care about loosing it then don’t back that up.

    Edit: I also keep my important data on set of mirrored pairs. It’s not space efficient but it does the job of keeping things performant and safe. Eventually I’ll expand that past 3 pairs but for right now it’s 3 pairs (6 drives) of 10TB disks.

    Anything else that isn’t important is just on a small Z1 array. I put all my older drives on that array because they would just be on a shelf doing nothing otherwise so I don’t care about wasting storage on that array. Not a recommended practice at all. So do as I say not as I do kinda thing.

  • Ahh then more than likely they purchased a training program that is overly broad to save some money. Probably figured it won’t hurt to make sure people know what herpes looks like so Quagmire doesn’t end up spreading it around the floor

  • Look at your SMART data and run some tests. Reseat the SATA cables too. I’ve had that cause problems. Even had a SATA cable go bad a few times over the years. That will cause you to get these kinds of errors too. ZFS is pretty paranoid about data loss. So if it even gets a small hint that something is wrong it does t his.

    At this point it really comes down to how valuable the data is to you. Most of the time when I see this error I’m not seeing anything on SMART that would lead me to believe that there’s a problem. So I’ll clear the error and watch it. If I start to get the same problem with the same drive I’ll usually replace it when I can. That being said I have pretty good backups so it would inconvenience me a lot but it’s most likely not going to be the end of the world if my drive dies on me. YMMV

  • As much as I love my MacBook I’d like a laptop with the same kind of hardware running Ubuntu or Fedora even more. I have a desktop just for that but it sits in the office where I never go so it’s pretty much just a box that I connect to when I need to test something on x86 as opposed to ARM.

  • Medical IT? Or is your company a contractor of some medical company and it’s just boiler plate training for all contractors? Or are you likely to have some kind of contact with these concerns in the course of your duties?

    If not then maybe your employer got sued for something and that kind of training is part of the settlement?

  • This is the best response I’ve seen. Abso-fucking-lutely made it clear why it’s impossible to trust meta in anyway shape or form. Thanks!

  • Excellent point that I had not considered. Thanks!

  • That’s something I had not considered, good to know. I think I need to setup an instance in my lab and do a deep dive into it. Thanks!

  • I completely agree with this take!

  • That's a good point. Would it not make more sense to block/de-federate when they start being bad actors rather than preemptively block? I'm not saying that preparing is bad, I think it's very much need and valid to assume they will be bad actors. I would like to be wrong and believe that being good hosts is better for their bottom lines. I do not expect them to do anything good because it's the "right" thing.
