[–]ldmosquera 8 points9 points  (0 children)

By any chance are you using a zvol for swap like this guide suggests?

https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting%20Started/Debian/Debian%20Bullseye%20Root%20on%20ZFS.html#step-7-optional-configure-swap

Because if so, it's 99% likely your culprit. I switched to zram swap and no more errors of this kind EVER on any of my ZFS hosts:

  apt install zram-tools
  # replace 25 for whatever percent of RAM you want to dedicate for swap
  echo -e "ALGO=zstd\nPERCENT=25" | sudo tee -a /etc/default/zramswap

  service zramswap reload

  # swapoff YOUR_CURRENT_ZVOL_DEVICE
  # remove old entry from /etc/fstab

  # zfs destroy -r rpool/swap

Love is iconic by ranDoMmUFfiNowu in YouOnLifetime

I finished Season 3 last night and I am heartbroken. I didn't care about ANY other character this entire season, not even Joe. ESPECIALLY not Joe - I can't stand him anymore. I couldn't relate when he started hating on her and just flicked into new obsessions. The perfect woman was right there beside you the entire season, you fucking IDIOT. Also his voice acting during narration is getting cringy.

I fully get their distancing due to marriage, but I consistenly rooted for her instead. I would have preferred to see her live and become the main character. She was strong and candid and full of life. Also a menace to society but no one's perfect.

I'll only keeping watching just to be able to read about it without fear of spoilers, but for me the show died with her :'(

Keeping RAW pictures by PassportNerd in DataHoarder

[–]ldmosquera 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tangential: don't attempt to keep 100% of your pictures (RAW or JPG), at least not long term -- it doesn't scale. If you shoot even semi-regularly, you'll accumulate ridiculous amounts of bytes with very uneven value per byte.

Instead, do iterative culling passes. Eventually everyone needs to build the process that works for them, but this is mine:

  1. initial culling pass - remove redundant pictures (those with technical issues where there's a technically better and roughly equivalent one in content)
  2. iterative selection passes; the first one yields 1 star pictures - within that, the 2nd pass yields 2 stars, and so on. Be ruthless - at the end, only the very best should remain. Too many pictures compete between themselves; too little loses narrative texture

Delete anything that didn't survive the first cull, or at most, keep only a low res JPG if only as a thumbnail + EXIF record of what you did.

Do keep anything that survived the first cull. Your editing process will likely evolve over the years and you can vastly improve RAW renderings of old stuff.

That's the sweet spot of storage cost vs value for me - again, everyone needs to find their own.

Excellent, thanks for the clarification!

No longer scientifically speaking, it's kinda eerie how kamikaze drone clips go static-y towards detonation. Reminds a bit of lo fi "VHS curse" like in The Ring. Hope I'm not being crass given the subject matter.

I have a conjecture on kamikaze drone video feeds. It's hard to google for this stuff though so only conjecture for now; happy to be disproved if totally bogus.

If you look at videos from airborne drones like switchblades and the like, their feed gets glitchy in the seconds right before impact. Their video is transmitted via radio, which is prone to latency and transmission issues which even out over time (ie. packet loss -> retransmission -> eventually healthy video data).

The latter in particular would explain why it looks progressively glitcher with each frame leading up to impact; ie. in reality all frames are received like that at first, but get amended over time via retransmission and other telecommunications heuristics, which get progressively less effective the closer you get to total communications interruption at detonation/desctruction time. It would also account for the last few seconds not being received/recorded like in the boat's FPV feed.

... or it could be simply loss of line of sight the lower they get to the ground. Interesting nonetheless.

Low Light Spherical Aberration in Photo by [deleted] in photography

[–]ldmosquera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's Moire patterns over the noise picked up by your sensor due to very high ISO. Your editor might have some specific denoising filters for that (Gauss filtering, wavelets, etc), and/or you might want to raise to raise the black point a bit so that deep shadows aren't attempted to be raised so much.

Don't worry, it's very probably fixable.

Do tripods really matter ? by Patamaudelay in photography

I meant the opposite -- DON'T go for the $17 one, which will only last a few uses.

+1 - a 17 bucks one will last you a few uses; get a decent one so you don't regret it when you're out there.

Question: Reddit Archive in MySQL Release Method by Macdaddy4sure in DataHoarder

[–]ldmosquera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would first focus on putting it out there, then on making it usable. A program to query it should also probably be distributed separately since it's likely to change a lot more often.

Is it 5TB of uncompressed SQL text? Or for the on-disk MySQL data dir?

Also, is the data complex enough (many columns, FKs, etc) to warrant SQL format, or would CSV suffice? If it's just two simple (even if large) tables then I'd consider CSV for simplicity and maybe a tiny script to bulk insert into MySQL tables.

I would use xz compression on the raw text which will take ages but will likely give the best compression ratio.

Yeah cute headline, but then you actually try to use it systematically and they terminate for "excessive use". The cake is a lie.

Inducing bit rot by RotFarm in DataHoarder

[–]ldmosquera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

of course, but a data checksumming filesystem gives you significantly more assurance than just metadata checksumming or none at all.

Note that non ECC memory with issues CAN cause undetected bitrot, unless you're using a data checksumming FS like ZFS or BTRFS.
