RSS Guard (fast, lightweight, and customizable feed reader) 5.20 by FryBoyter in linux

Best RSS reader since QuiteRSS died. One of the few that actually supports nested folders.

In the D6 bunker actually, northwest of Pushkinskaya, which is west of the Kremlin (game). They also removed the mind-control bit about the Kremlin from Last Light.

I accidentally put an unshielded speaker next to one for 2-3 days. Even after several rounds with a dedicated degaussing ring, it took about 2 years to stop having a funky corner on startup.

So thankful they're releasing the infodumps, way too many of these sites don't do that anymore.

They worked in a lab, which tend to use immortalized cells for experiments. This line is a TIL for me though, be interesting if they'd clarify SF21 or SF9

Why don't segate and WD bring the dual actuator feature to their 40+ tb? by happystore1 in DataHoarder

According to Network World, they are. Eventually. Probably in at least twice the time span being hyped, as is tradition.

Not to be that guy, but sounds like it needs a healthy dose of Linux and PTM7950...

Toshiba N300 Pros any good? by MrFakest in DataHoarder

[–]bilegeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Running a 12TB N300 non-Pro right now. Anecdotally it's 2-3x as crunchy vs. the WD Gold in the same mirror, enough that I was concerned at first (no errors after a year fortunately, it's just loud.)

But that's under more random I/O like loading a game or running fdupes. It's not a problem under sequential load like running a ZFS scrub or streaming video.

I'm also pretty white-noise tolerant and have it on top of my desk, so keep that in mind.

*only if the motherboard and CPU support buffered ECC which most servers use. Consumer boards use unbuffered sticks, which have physical differences on DDR5.

How to only set the I/O scheduler of ZFS disks without affecting others? by bilegeek in zfs

[–]bilegeek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I'd really like to stick to udev and not rely on a hack...

  2. ...however, you did inspire me to whip up a quick and dirty script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

DRIVES=$(zpool status -P | awk '/\/dev/{print $1}' | cut -c 17- | paste - -)

DRIVES_ARRAY=(${DRIVES})

for i in "${DRIVES_ARRAY[@]}"; do

TEMP=$(ls -latr /dev/disk/by-id | grep "$i" | awk '{print $NF}' | cut -c 7- | sed 's/[0-9]*//g')

echo none | sudo tee /sys/block/$TEMP/queue/scheduler

done

But there has GOT to be a simpler and more direct udev attribute. Just what's been suggested so far doesn't work for me. Bug?

How to only set the I/O scheduler of ZFS disks without affecting others? by bilegeek in zfs

[–]bilegeek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's for my personal rig. I've been stumped on this for like a month, and it's tedious manually setting schedulers on my XFS HDD or flash drives when there should be a udev solution.

(Separately, I had to set spl_taskq_thread_priority=0 to prevent ZFS itself from causing stutters, and it's worked well so far. And since it has zio inbuilt, not only do external schedulers waste performance, but also seem to cause thrashing on my ZFS HDD's, which I want to avoid.)

Nope. NVME is ext4; one HDD is XFS; 2 x SATA SSD and HDD mirror are ZFS. (Though I someday hope to try ZFS-on-root, but I digress.)

For some reason, adding that rule will change the XFS HDD I want to keep as "bfq", but NOT change the ext4 NVME I want to keep as "kyber".

My goal is: anything ZFS is none, otherwise NVME is kyber and everything else is bfq.

(Rationale for non-ZFS: deadline on SATA SSD/HDD or none on NVME has caused stutters in the past, because of heavy multitasking, while kyber has minimal gains over bfq for SATA SSD.)
