I often quote light switch rave 😁

because the thing on the screen doesn’t really exist, so when it appears to really exist it feels like magic

I just had a provider issue take a server down after we swapped into production.my code was fine, still didn’t get to knock off on time.

capitalism preys on insecurity 🤷‍♂️

“Sedates and pleases! Great for temperament”

yeah true. I guess what I’m saying is the considerations probably have changed, I seriously doubt RAID is no longer useful though.

3-2-1 is for backup, RAID is also for availability, eg your domain server not going down in case of drive failure. good point though.

yeah but if SSD failing is now less likely that other parts of the machine it might be better to focus on a redundant server to fail over to… it’s an interesting thought. RAID isn’t obsolete I don’t think but it’s an interesting question

I do recall google apparently stopped using raid in some data centres, but it was because they had whole-machine redundancy.

RAID is probably redundant for some of the uses it used to have, like optimising read performance by using many drives (SSD is fast) and honestly I suspect that SSDs are probably more reliable as they don’t have a bunch of platters and bearings and screaming rotational speeds.

So if you needed it for a base level of reliability, an SSD on its own may have exceeded that.

I suspect there are still uses for drive redundancy in some high availability setups… although your friend might be right. If the likelihood of drive failure is lower than other parts in the machine and you need high redundancy for availability it might make more sense to replicate the whole machine rather than the drives.

It’s possible redundancy specifically for the drives was an artifact of unreliable drives back in the day 🤔 they might have a point! I think it’s likely still useful at times though.

I’d rather hotswap a drive than set up a new server, even if it’s a less likely scenario.

Head to Bali, smoking cuban cigars, And we fuck up the party like acoustic guitars

“fuck up the party like acoustic guitars” always cracked me up so much.

I use an open source password manager and long random passwords for most things.

my master password is a long phrase though, as well as any I have to type personally sometimes. passphrases are so much easier to type as well

hookers?

not for people you like

yeah I’ve really noticed it’s hard to find info and therefore use any project that does this.

and it must suck because anyone new, instead of finding the answer to their question in a forum archive from when it was first asked, has to log in and ask it again.

whenever I have dumb noob questions on setup and I see a discord link I give up a little.

oh thank you! I use jetbrains but I wonder if I can implement the same thing

I’m just a c# dev wishing to fuck we had something visual to indicate reference types so my coworkers could stop misusing them

the whole point of federation is networks being able to connect to each other. it will hopefully be a matter of course in the future.

yeah I like having an array of days that are weekend days then testing if the day is in the array. can change what days are considered weekend if we go to a three day weekend and it reads really well. I hate massive if statements
