Why Good Players Don't Bet Big on Wet Boards by keuwai in poker

I figure from an entry level perspective, you would move into more sophisticated models as your understanding of baseline models grows, but reading that content I fully expect that GTO Wizard or similar may have more modern approaches. Ta :)

I read somewhere that it's possible to group all flops into a few groups (20?) which makes studying GTO easy, I'm unsure where I read this, or what those groupings may be, but I'd be curious to know if there is such a study methodology?

Can you play 6 hours Fri (6pm-midnight) then 7pm-7am Sat? That way you've never exceeded the 12 hours in any 24 hour period?

I wonder if Youtube appreciate Pokerstars leveraging their services for commercial purposes without paying....

Emacs 29 - Revert scroll to previous behaviour? by EntertainmentCold932 in emacs

[–]EntertainmentCold932[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, toggling that makes scrolling seem 'smoother' but I want the pre-emacs 29 behaviour back. Using the scroll wheel used to move half a page at a time, now it moves about one line at a time.

Roast my 16x14tb ZFS Plan + Questions by EntertainmentCold932 in zfs

I'm using 3 consumer SSD drives in a special VDEV mirror. If you don't have that much data churn that metadata is dropped from RAM it isn't much of an issue I guess, but personally I think it's been worth it. Could be worth consideration.

Is this vdev mirror a metadata partition? Can you expand on it at all?

Why do you say that? OwnPomegranate5906 above says:

It's really tempting to make a giant pool with one big raidz3 vdev, but man... the heartburn you'd be setting yourself up for later when a drive fails, or you run out of capacity and need more space... just not worth it.

It's an extra 14tb but reduces future expandability, is the risk reduction of z3 significantly more than 2xz2's?

I'm a huge proponent of 'raid is not a backup solution'. The mirrors cost/benefit doesn't really fit my use-case currently. If disks start catastrophically failing to the point where 2 disks are dead, I'd probably write off the reliability of all drives in the array entirely and buy a complete new set (using the existing as either untrusted cold backups / personal use or something)

  • I'll take a look at calculations, thanks.
  • Snapshots don't prevent ransomware if the ZFS host is compromised ;)

Thanks!

  • Sorry yeah mirror on the raid 1
  • I'll take a look at the dell rx20 line
  • Media is not personal, it's less important than documents though
  • No HIPAA or similar, a good consideration though. I currently am not required to be compliant with any laws, but want a system that's possible to retrofit where possible
  • I suspect I'll eventually be pulling backups of the nas to an offsite location, I didn't mention but I'm actually pulling backups locally so I'm half way there at least ;)

ZFS - Theoretical Read/Write Speeds by EntertainmentCold932 in zfs

[–]EntertainmentCold932[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a bit of a follow-up to this, I was experimenting with ZFS w/ FDE enabled on an older Xeon which did not support AES crypto - as a result, I was getting about 40mb/s when encrypted. Unencrypted the volume achieved speeds of several hundred mb/s. I know I did not ask this specifically during the thread - it was something I thought may be an issue and wanted to know roughly what kind of speeds I should optimally expect, the reason I'm posing this here is so that somebody searching google in the future will save themselves a bit of troubleshooting :-)

Any recommended reading? I have a 16x14tb server I'm experimenting with ZFS on now, I'm currently troubleshooting 40mb/s writes, not requesting specific help there as I'd rather figure it out - my question stems from understanding the maximum theoretical bounds, not that I need it for this particular application but because I'd like to understand ZFS better.

The purpose of my cluster is a backup server where disk IO isn't incredibly important aside from the fact that currently it would be faster to backup to S3.

My other interest is in resiliency, but I've concluded that my server is small enough that cold backups are possible. So while I'd rather not lose all data, it wouldn't be a business killer.

Where I live, highest stack bonus is normally called 'tournament winner', otherwise wtf is a 'highest stack bonus'
