  • Looking forward to watching Facebook claim it’s all a business interaction because they’re selling the user data or something.

    Well there's Marketplace which is quite popular, so maybe they can contort themselves to make that argument.

  • It may since have been fixed, but the Android client didn't handle IP changes well in my experience. From my understanding, it only checks DNS when it initially connects, and so if the public IP changes the connection just stops working. This might be fine if the public ip changes infrequently or if you frequently connect and disconnect rather than leave the client always on, but not so much otherwise.

    Tailscale (and headscale) handles this gracefully, and you also get the nice NAT traversal features so no need to worry about CGNATs which are becoming more common.

  • There's also the phenomenon where you make a forum post and then immediately solve it after (or even before) you submit it. Although that is more because it forces you to think through the problem systematically.

  • once you know how to use linux, you can stop fixing everyone elses problems for them.

    I know you meant being able to claim "I don't use Windows" but just installing Linux has massively lowered the tech support requests I get from my parents.

  • Check status here. It looks like it may be a little better than the past, but I'm not sure I'd trust it.

    An alternative approach I use is mergerfs + snapraid + snapraid-btrfs. This isn't the best idea for a system drive, but if it's something like a NAS it works well and snapraid-btrfs doesn't have the write hole issues that normal snapraid does since it operates on r/o snapshots instead of raw data.

  • No reason not to. Old reputations die hard, but it's been many many years since I've had an issue.

    I like also that btrfs is a lot more flexible than ZFS which is pretty strict about the size and number of disks, whereas you can upgrade a btrfs array ad hoc.

    I'll add to avoid RAID5/6 as that is still not considered safe, but you mentioned RAID1 which has no issues.

  • A distinction without a difference in the case of a Trump administration. It's not like they care about conventions or the rule of law. You can expect Trump to hand over to Musk whatever confidential documents he can get his hands on, if only to brag about it.

    I expect Musk will use this as another opportunity for insider trading as well.
