When will it be commercially available though? Supposedly Seagate has had 30TB drives out for the better part of a year, but I can’t find anything larger than 24TB actually available for purchase.

Clockwise=lockwise

Most hardrives live in servers, as part of storage volumes where IO can be optimised well beyond the capability of a single disk.

For the boot disk on my workstation I am absolutely using an SSD, but for the hundreds of terabytes of largely static data that I need to keep archived? Spinning disks all the way. Not only to SSDs need to match on price, but they also have a long way to come in terms of longevity.

Cats require a few nutrients which aren’t naturally present in plants, such as taurine. Fortunately, those nutrients are easily synthesised, and added to vegan cat foods in order to make them nutritionally complete.

If it helps, 80% of the work i do when wearing my sysadmin hat is just ensuring that all of our systems are communicating properly.

I did like one semester of computer science, does that count?

Honestly I just google shit until I understand it. Linux has great documention, and where it fails you can just read the source code.

There is a recent New Zealand Today episode that interviews him. IIRC, he was involved in a number of low level scams at the time, and was arrested while dining on a stolen credit card. Man was just a natural showman, who wasnt going to go down quietly.

Care to elaborate? Every cloud “solution” I’ve been pitched is just a super expensive way to bottleck everything at the router.

Hmm, I probably have that much distributed across my network… maybe I should look into some way of distributing it across multiple gpu.

Frak, just counted and I only have 270gb installed. Approx 40gb more if I install some of the deprecated cards in any spare pcie slots i can find.

Literally billions of people are. Do you think meat just spontaneously appears in the supermarket?

Quite the opposite. Cannibalism(assuming you obtain consent) would be ethical meat consumption.

I forget, did Pegasus end up disabling their networking after they made their initial escape? I don’t remember it being mentioned, but it makes for quite a plot hole if they continued on as normal.

Can you provide an example of this? Only time I’ve encountered that behaviour was with a laptop that had a defective lid-switch.

Raid 0 offers no redundancy though. If any of those three disks fail, you lose the entire volume.

For the sake of backups, switching to Raid 5 would be more robust

smartmontools has some good functionality for interfacing with SMART via usb bridges that do not provide native functionality.

Fair. No arduino kits though?

If you’re going to the expense of putting a camera on it, why not take it a little further and slap together an arduino-based sensor suite with some logging? See if you can find any correlations in temp/humidity/gas conc that might help with diagnosis.

I just wish it was multithreaded so that i could maintain a colony for more than a week without slowing to potato speeds.

My n00b theory on it, with the proviso that I am not a developer and only have a basic understanding of multithreading, is that you would break up the map into regions, and have each regions pawns and environment handled independently by separate threads/cores while one master thread handled interactions between regions and kept them all in sync.

Regions could dynamically scale depending on how computationally intensive they are, such that when the master/watchdog thread has to wait for one thread significantly longer than any of it’s adjacent region threads, it remaps the boundary iteratively until it acheives minimal wait-time and the load is evenly balanced.

As it stands, I’ve got one core maxed out and the game running slower than realtime while my 15 other cores sit at idle like suckers.

I often stumble across jobs in Antarctica listed in my region. It’s right there in the headline, so its easy to skip over them, but i have to wonder, how else would you advertise for jobs in remote locations where most people wouldn’t even think to look?

Why should people committing unjust acts be allowed to commit them in peace? Where is the peace for their victims if we do not speak up? The MLK quote seems entirely fitting.
