• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help Reviewing My Server Setup?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  ZFS is an enterprise software RAID, and 1:1 RAM to TB is the minimum recommended requirement for a production server (e.g. enterprise implementations).

  I’ve seen many users stating they have far far less than 1:1 without issues. I recall a r/DataHoarder user saying they have 100+ TB’s and only 16 or 32GB RAM, which is not fully utilized, so it all depends on your usage profile and the size/scale of r/w ops occurring during peak periods.

  I have never met anyone who calls themself an “alpha”. If I ever do, I’ll consider them to be both a dumb cunt, and a scared little pussy ass bitch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here’s why some people still evade public transport fares – even when they’re 50 cents⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m no expert on this topic, but I’ve previously read that when a thing is made free people stop valuing it.

  This sounds like a misunderstanding of economics. If someone gives away something for free, they’re only saying the thing has no value to them, etc, or — in the context of gov services — the act of giving it away has more value. It’s never that the thing itself has no intrinsic value, “period”.

  You could definitely argue that the 50c fee prevents homeless people from squatting, or completely unnecessary travel, but I would argue that everyone should be provided with shelter, and 50c probably isn’t going to prevent unnecessary travel anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there cheap refurbished HDD resellers in Europe, like ServerPartDeals?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That wasn’t what was reported, and is largely false. What was reported is that people are buying new drives which have FARM values indicating years of use. Also the most likely cause being a crypto project going under, and dropping petabytes in capacity over the last 12 months.

  This type of fraud hasn’t been proven in the used HDD space. There are many reasons used drives are sold other than exceeding usable life or warranty. Companies over forecast capacity or simply go bankrupt all the time (see crypto / ai), and those drives are sold. Considering drives are 30-50% more expensive now than they were 6-12 months ago the incentive and profitability of resale has increased.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump prepares to change US CHIPS Act conditions, sources say⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Turns out all that was necessary to destroy the US government, was to finance a bunch of criminally corrupt narcissists. Once they hold the majority, some of them simply do nothing and continue collecting their paycheck + bribes, while some take a sledgehammer to everything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google is on the Wrong Side of History.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why the stock market was, fundamentally, a trojan horse. It was created so capitalism could intertwine the peoples wealth and retirement funds to the success of the wealth of the oligarchy, making the entire market too big to fail.

  Now the entire system is designed to prevent damage to companies, no matter how moral, unethical, or criminal. The success of corporations IS treated as equal to “national security”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former Oracle Cloud exec Don Johnson takes over as Docker's new CEO | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a big club of scabs shuffling between the ever diminishing number of umbrella corporations and their subsidiaries, who already own every market and supply chain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple is once again advertising on X after more than a year⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  FOSS alternatives exist for many Android devices. Apple goes to great lengths to block every alternative on all hardware that isn’t mac. I’ve been on iOS since the 3G, but have just purchased an older pixel to start migrating apps and data to GrapheneOS.

  There is no negotiating with fascists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple, Microsoft Joining Google Using Gulf of America in Maps Programs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Look at every corporation bend the knee and enthusiastically embrace the fascist fusion of corporation and state.

  I’ve been saying it for a decade but it keeps getting more obvious. The oligarchs and their corporations have been financing the fascists, and working towards the takeover, the entire goddamn time. I’m not talking about Elon and the tech bros. I’m talking about the 0.001%, the thousands of oligarchs who own SPY. They look at the CCP with envy, yearning for the one party state capitalism and authoritarian control of the masses — just replacing communism™️ with freedom™️, christianity™️ and nationalism™️ — free from the risk that democracy represents to their wealth and power.

  The AI will be used to indoctrinate. I guarantee it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The fundamental problem with housing in Australia⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The fundamental problem with housing EVERYWHERE is that it’s a finite resource and we allow individuals and orgs to own multiple.

  All of the neoliberal and conservative measures to date were a lie designed to either inflate the cost of housing, or not have any meaningful impact while sounding like it does. Most would be completely unnecessary if we only allowed citizens and perm residents to own 2 properties max, including their PPOR; banning every other entity from owning residential property entirely.

  The “labor” parties of 5 eyes are more like counterintelligence operations. They’re manufactured opposition. At the end of the day, their leadership is groomed and financed by the same oligarchs and corporations as the “conservative” parties.

  They will never offer anything other than corporate-whore lite with a hope of change™️, but there actions — for decades — Asians linger than their words ever could.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The series of anti-Semitic attacks that have shocked Sydney⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t have to support terrorism to acknowledge what creates and fuels it.

  An increase in anti-jewish terrorism is expected after the last year of Israel’s genocide, and these specific events are likely a direct response to it; not random chance.
