I've heard smaller, older drives are actually more reliable in the long run. USB 2.0 especially because of the lower speed causes less heat

I had an issue recently where my usb drive was "disconnecting" which triggered unraid to give read errors and then panicking. I had checked though and it wasn't being regularly read or written to but still caused my whole server to crash. Changing usb drive has since fixed it, for now 😄

I use Unraid and I'm loving it. Super stable, easy to manage, set up dockers, let's me pool my hard drives and set up parity. Highly recommend. Only thing that I've had a hard time with is finding a stable flash drive - you'd be surprised how many start to fail when used 24/7

The public health system here in Canada is very broken and the politicians have been pushing to move towards a more privatized system like the US. It's only a question of time before we get the same problems. Here in quebec my wife has had to get a private doctor because she simply couldn't see a doctor in the public system anymore.

Ironically, from what I can see, the younger generation understands even less about computers. It's like everything is so simple to use (smartphones, consoles, tablet) that they no longer need to understand the technology behind it.

Is that even possible? How do you know who downvotes you?

You make a good point. I guess abrasive is different from toxic

Makes more sense if you reverse it: Toxic Redditors tend to be politically engaged. It's not the politics that makes them toxic it's because they are toxic that they engage with politics so much. Most people who are informed with politics don't necessarily engage. Of course there are people who do who aren't toxic but the loudest voices usually are abrasive people.

I think it's the same as any other platform. Right now the content in small communities is limited, but over time once there is a sizable amount of content that newcomers can get referred from or go through, Lemmy as a whole will get more traction. Since the Reddit exodus happened I definitely feel like Lemmy has grown a lot and I'm here for the long run.

I really recommend nativewind to solve pretty much every gripe I have with styling react native, if you still want to give it a chance. Expo for instant cross platform updates by just publishing updated JavaScript (no more publishing updatdes in app store and play store!) Also, yup and Formik for form validation and react query for API calls. With these minimal libraries react native becomes a beast.

Not sure, I guess exposing the cookie to air let's the milk seep in deeper.

I remember watching a Mythbusters or similar show that concluded that the time out of the milk after dipping is more important than the time in the milk. I've been doing that ever since, one dip than 5 seconds out then dip again and 5 seconds out again and it's perfect every time.
