Disks that can fail. I can lose 2 and be okay. That gives me time to swap in my spare or order a new one. For a home user imo 2 drive redundancy is plenty but 3 for a 6 drive mirror was too much. These things aren't cheap!

I switched to raid z2 from a 6 drive mirror and what an ordeal that was. It's because I had to grow into it and buy drives over time but eventually the mirror was too inefficient.

I moved data around like 5 times all because I still didn't have enough disks to build my new array and keep my data on the system at the same time. And expanding raidz expands parity on all disks but not the data so you have to recopy all your data so it stripes fully.

I had a backup on a DAS but USB is slow and I didn't want to have it be the only copy.

Edit: clarifying my point. I have no regrets. ZFS is awesome. But make the important decisions up front and yes start with the right amount of drives that you need. My whole issue was growing into it and having to make changes after the fact.

I have been off reddit since the api thing so I'm way out of touch with the current content and status.

It just seems odd all these posts about Reddit dying and it makes me think of the people that loved reddit aren't all here on Lemmy, so did they quit all of it or went somewhere else?

No one I know in person switched away, technical or not, they still use reddit. The whole situation is just not adding up.

So where is everyone going because it's not Lemmy. And Reddit still is huge. I don't understand the "it's so bad, everyone is getting banned" but also the site keeps growing.

I thought it was a good film as well. Not sure why it had all the bad press. There are many many terrible movies all the time and I believe it was unfair to this specific one which is telling an enormous story. If the second and third part form a cohesive story, I think this would be a good rainy Saturday film fest epic.

It's not perfect, I'm not here to defend it with specifics, but I did enjoy it.

Ford v Ferrari, and I really enjoyed it. It had the right amount of corporate backstabbing being out smarted by the main character. Not a feel good flick but it had a lot of good racing scenes and it was exciting.

Also watched the last 30 minutes of The Revenant which I had started but not finished.. that movie is brutal. And as my second watch-through, I'm still not entirely sure what the take away thoughts are. It's just survival and people are awful to each other. I'm not sure there's a lesson or reward at the end. Maybe I missed the whole point.

I love Truenas so much. I'm growing into its capabilities every day.

I bought an IT Mode flashed hba on eBay for like $40. Fanless, and easy. Make sure it comes with the cables or buy those separately but don't forget them.

"We innocent" was cropped out and I kinda liked how it originally said I'm innocent but they changed it to We Innocent.

"Grow the fediverse!"

But also "not you or that or this."

I dislike seeing the negative votes. Just let people do their their thing and either join it or don't.

This is not a rebuttal, I agree with everything you are saying, and i'd like to make a point.

Some would say these events are caused by their savior/Messiah. I think that adds to the hope that an alternative singular person would step up to "save" everyone.

I still have this file and checked it out about a month ago. I skipped around and it still fascinates me getting that look behind the curtain of how it's made.
