Yes, absolutely. Right now, SSDs are probably superior in comparison to HDDs in every category except for price (and long-term data integrity when switched off). But when you consider large parity raids and take into account the cost of electricity, even the price difference might only be small, making SSDs even more attractive.

Hmm. Let’s say I add 6 SSDs, 2TB each, for a total of 600€. In a RAID6 configuration, that gives me 8TB of storage. Compare that to a classical NAS with 2×8 TB HDDs for a total of 350€.

The HDDs will draw around 4W idle each, 8W in total. Assuming 0.3€/kWh, over a span of 5 years, that is approximately 100€. The power consumption of the SSDs will be negligible.

So, just in terms of storage, the SSD solution is around 33% more expensive over 5 years. If you include the cost of the NAS itself, the price increment is even less noticeable.

Very helpful. I was just looking at this the other day.

You can have untrusted peers in Syncthing that only receive an encrypted copy of your data.

I just checked, and I have connectivity while on cellular. Maybe (just wild speculation) your mobile network is IPv6-only? Android (not Linux) should list 192.0.0.4 as an IP address in that case.

Yes, Linux is running in a VM, and the network interface is a virtualized veth interface connected to a host bridge. The host android system has IP address 192.168.0.1, and this network interface is called avf_tap_fixed (as seen from termux).

While this is very exciting, I just tried it, and the network connectivity seems to be broken. No IPv6.

Building nuclear power plants is not a science problem, though, it’s an engineering problem. Just because we can harness energy by breaking up nuclear bonds does not mean that we can do so economically, given the constraints under which we have to operate power plants.

And OP never disputed the science anyways?

Starship burning up, from Miami

Another one from Turks and Caicos

Well, time to head over to flight radar and watch all the planes divert again.

Again, it’s quite impressive how long they were able to maintain a video connection from the tumbling ship.

There are lots of flights east of Turks and Caicos Islands/north of Puerto Rico that are currently flying in circles, apparently avoiding the debris field.

The booster looks pretty good. I would be surprised if they tried to reuse it this time already, but maybe they can do a static fire?

RIP ship.

I met someone that was throwing out old memory modules. Literally boxes full of DDR, DDR2 modules. I got quite excited, hoping to upgrade my server’s memory. Yeah, DDR2 only goes up to 2GiB. So I am stuck with 2×2GiB. But I am only using 85% of that anyways, so it’s fine.

My review does not have a breakdown by platform.

Here you can get 12TB, new, from a trusted German seller, for 129€, which is 1.075 cents per GB.

You can install steam on Fedora using an RPM repository. But everyone using the Steam Flatpak will show up as Freedesktop SDK, no matter the distribution. For Fedora-based gaming distributions such as Bazzite, this is the default way to use Steam.

I use syncthing to sync almost everything across my computer, laptop (occasional usage), server (RAID1), old laptop (powered up once every month or so), and a few other devices (that only get a small subset of my data, though). On the computer, laptop, and server, I have btrfs snapshots (snapper). Overall, this works very well, I always have 4+ copies of my data in 2+ geographical locations.

Amazing! What is left to do now? Orbital Raptor relight and dummy payload deployment? Do they need a new launch license for that, or is the current one (which should be good for similar flights if I understand correctly) sufficient? S31 + B13?

I assume they will want to demonstrate the V2 flap design before attempting a ship catch. They also need the second tower for that, unless the booster can be destacked sufficiently fast.
