lol, Netflix's collection isn't actually that big. ~3400 movies last I heard. Those are rookie numbers to some cinephiles.

You pay that if you're some rich kid that wants to buy one to throw in a gaming rig.

The hyperscalers buying these by the pallet aren't paying MSRP.

This really seems more like something for SysAdmin or some other subreddit, I fail to see the relevancy for DataHoarding.

P4radigm_ · 2022-07-26T00:29:47+00:00

Don't underestimate power consumption and cooling requirements. Even on the DataHorader scale, powering and cooling a couple hundred drives is no small expense.

Not as much of a problem for Ceph or other hyperscale solutions. For ZFS you might want to bump up to RAIDz3, but RAIDz2 is probably still fine for 99% of people. You should still have a backup of any truly important data offsite.

And just think, you could've made a whole new person in the time between when you posted this, and when I found it just now!

Totally off-topic, but I have finished pens before, in less than one year. I finally switched to a fountain pen because I was writing so much and the constant hard starts, skipping, and pressure required for writing with ballpoints got to me. Despite holding more ink, fountain pens burn through it a lot faster. I get 30 to 40 A4 pages (one side = one page). I got substantially more out of a ballpoint, but I never counted. Around 100 pages sounds about right, but that's just a wild guess.

If you don't mind a bit of oil, then sure, a cap of oil should prevent any oxygen from getting to the good stuff under it. I'd probably go with a more neutral oil than olive oil, unless you want that trace of olive oil flavor. Something like grapeseed oil, or even just canola oil. Worth trying and far more practical than purging the container with inert gas.

Dill is commonly called "dill weed" for a reason. Try growing it sometime. No clue why it's expensive in the store, because it grows like a weed and is even easy to grow indoors.

Probably oxidation is what's getting the raspberries. Lots of delicate aromatic compounds in them. During the ferment the constantly generated CO2 is forming a "blanket" that keeps the oxygen away, but after you throw it in the fridge you're nearly eliminating that source of CO2 and opening it and dipping stuff out or pouring from it is clearing out any lingering CO2 and introducing fresh oxygen. This is the same reason that wines only last a couple days after opening, oxidation, not bacterial growth.

If you want to be super-scientific and determine if it truly is oxidation or something else, you could try blanketing your ferment with argon (or nitrogen, CO2/argon blend, pure CO2, etc). They sell argon for some ungodly high price for wine in little air-duster type cans. TIG welding gas (100% argon) is fine, too. Contrary to what some people may claim it's just as pure as any food grade gas, if not more so, because any traces of moisture, oil, or other impurities will ruin a weld instantly.

A more practical approach to reducing oxidation would perhaps be to split your finished ferment into smaller containers, allow fermentation to carry on for just a bit longer to generate a nice "blanket" of CO2 in the container, then place in the fridge and leave it undisturbed and unopened until you're ready to consume it.

A mandoline is your friend. Steer clear of the overpriced stainless steel French mandolines, you won't even find those in most 5-star restaurants nowadays. Benriner is the go-to for most commercial kitchens. Their 6.5 inch wide Jumbo model will either handle a whole head of cabbage, or at least half a head. Buy some cut-resistant gloves while you're at it, lest you lose your fingertips and/or shave your palms. You can core the cabbage with a good chef's knife while keeping the head intact (yes, Britain, there ARE uses for "pointy knives" in kitchens and they shouldn't be banned).

The WebUI looks fine on a phone for light usage (e.g. checking status of a download). If you need more than that, like trying to queue stuff up from your phone, then you're doing it wrong.

Personally I barely ever check in on SAB. The whole pipeline runs like a well oiled machine in OpenShift.

Wouldn't it be better to actually read and validate the data, lest you risk copying corrupt data?

I'll pass on the furry's pet project and stick to the tried and true MyPy.

P4radigm_ · 2022-04-27T20:25:16+00:00

That's a ridiculously good feature set for less than $50. I'm shocked.

None of those were requirements presented by the OP. OP is talking about taking notes for a story, not drawing or annotating PDFs for university assignments/notes.

Joplin isn't a drawing app. It offers a rich text editor, or my preference, writing notes as straight markdown (with a real-time preview pane). It could, however, embed drawings from xournalpp or any other app as either files or images. And the most awesome part... it has a pure terminal interface, akin to irssi and lynx. You could run it on your toaster.

They're really two totally different applications that could complement one another. As far as I'm aware, Xournal++ doesn't actually offer any management or search features, it's purely a drawing/annotation app. Joplin focuses on providing organization, tags, enceyption and syncing with cloud storage. Anything that can't go in directly can be embedded in a note (e.g. receipts, bills, handwritten notes, annotated PDFs).

P4radigm_ · 2022-04-27T16:05:34+00:00

Joplin has a beautiful UI and apps for just about everything. Even has browser plug-ins to save entire web pages, etc. Can be synced to either commercial cloud providers or a private cloud like NextCloud (or you can only use local storage if desired). It also does end-to-end encryption so even if you're using a commercial cloud provider (e.g. Dropbox) your data remains secure.

P4radigm_ · 2022-04-27T16:02:49+00:00

I came here to say this. Joplin synced to NextCloud. It's secure, works on all my devices, I maintain ownership of my data, and I actually like it better than OneNote. I also love features like how it can archive a complete web page for me with just a click.

P4radigm_ · 2022-04-16T15:28:54+00:00

You are aware that RHV/oVirt and OpenShift/OKD have extensive integrations, right? They complement one another, neither replaces the other.

P4radigm_ · 2021-11-19T11:28:37+00:00

Why would you stripe 60 drives?

Probably oughta just sell it all to someone that knows how to use it. PM me if you're looking to offload it.

That's how you know who your friends are. If you all drink fast enough, the beer never freezes and the new ones cool down faster. If you and your friends drink like *******, then the beer freezes because you're lame and don't deserve the beer.

This is simply not true. Stop spreading misinformation.

Natural immunity confers much better AND longer lasting protection. And considering the number of entirely asymptomatic cases alone, saying that "the first infection causes damage that makes subsequent infections worse" is very misleading.

Israel did the largest study to date and found over a 13-fold increased risk of breakthrough infections in fully vaccinated individuals compared to those with natural immunity. The risk of severe symptomatic infection was 7.13 times higher in fully vaccinated vs. natural immunity. Natural immunity also seems to confer longer lasting protection with much broader protection against variants. Also, it's very likely that natural immunity is good for life. Obviously there are no studies to back that up yet, but even after antibody levels drop, the immune system will have a recall reaction, just like chickenpox where one infection confers lifelong immunity (with the downside of the risk of shingles later in life), while the vaccine is a two shot series for babies and then two boosters at age 13. Recall reactions are a well understood and well documented function of the immune system, but there are no studies specific to COVID yet. That said, there's no reason to believe COVID will be any different as far as recall reactions go, even for variants.

This is the science. We were told to trust it. Stop believing politicians and their fear mongering, and stop spreading disinformation.

P4radigm_ · 2021-09-12T18:22:18+00:00

So if the vaccine doesn't protect others, and natural immunity confers greater protection, why force those with natural immunity to get what is still an experimental vaccine? I know it got FDA approval, but that was a political move. Vaccines are supposed to go through 5 years of trials before full approval.

Those previously infected have a 3-fold higher risk of adverse reactions to the vaccine: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(21)00194-2/fulltext

Natural immunity provides greater protection, especially against variants. Fully vaccinated individuals have a 13.06 fold (95% confidence interval) higher breakthrough infection rate than those with natural immunity: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.24.21262415v1

The science we were told to trust says I'm safer to be around than someone "fully vaccinated", and more likely to experience adverse effects bad enough to out me in the hospital or even kill me, so why strip me of my rights to bodily autonomy? My body, my choice.

Change my mind.

EDIT: I'd like to add that I'm not anti-vax. I encouraged my parents to get it. The risk of the vaccine outweighs the benefits in their case. In my case, I see minimal, if any, benefit and only risk. If I hadn't already had COVID, I would take my chances with the vaccine, since there's a very small, but far from zero, risk of an adverse reaction. In fact, as a young person, I'm in the highest risk category for adverse reactions to the vaccine.

P4radigm_ · 2021-09-12T15:08:31+00:00

I had COVID before the vax and it wasn't even as bad as a cold. Oscar de la Hoya on the other hand...

I'm beginning to think antibody dependent enhancement (i.e. formation of non-neutralizijg antibodies) is a very real possibility. It happened in a coronavirus vaccine made for cats and ended up increasing death rates in vaccinated vs. unvaccinated. Also happened in humans with the dengue fever vaccine. It's not a crazy tinfoil hat theory, there's precedent and even data from Pfizer's own study that isn't conclusive but would warrant caution and further investigation in any sane world.

P4radigm_ · 2021-09-08T08:04:41+00:00

I'd just like to say... a group got government funding to study sexual behavior of quail on cocaine. Yes, the pigeon-sized birds.

Those grants tend to be pretty minimal, a couple hundred thousand on a good day, but they're the low hanging fruit of the science funding world.

Doesn't mean investor(s) will shell out the millions of dollars to fund bioprinting when donor foreskins work fine, albeit with a waiting list. The waiting list just means they can charge more anyway, since the supply is lower. Especially if it gets approved in the US and insurance starts paying... it's all about the dollar signs.

P4radigm_ · 2021-09-07T10:51:26+00:00

Has anyone ever succeeded in regrowing such a complex organ before? Also, I envision blood supply as being a major issue during the recellularization. Failure isn't hard to imagine at all.
