  I’d suggest it depends on your hardware setup. If you have sufficient disks and care about availability and/or performance of your data access, RAID is rarely a bad idea.

  If you choose to do a software RAID in Linux without Intel RST, you have three main options: mdadm, LVM, and ZFS. You can explore those options on your own, but my personal view is that ZFS is wonderful to work with and comes with tons of benefits itself alongside its ZRAID implementation, making it my preferred choice.

  As someone who lives in Wales and drives, cycles and walks around daily, I think this is a great policy, but poorly communicated and has been a target by populist politicians which has fed into the discontent.

  I agree. This is an outstanding, evidence-based policy of exactly the sort we should be implementing, albeit one that’s been communicated awfully and failed to be defended against the prideful ignorance of the populist right amidst Welsh Labour’s political turmoil.

  I think I’ve accepted in my head that the similarly maligned Sustainable Farming Scheme will have to be watered down due to Gething’s misadventures and our consequent inability to defend even well-constructed, evidence-based policy against populist rhetoric, but I really hope the 20mph speed limit survives this painful, reactionary period at least.

  I don’t think that link says what you think it does.

  I think their venture into crypto was a remarkable shift in their proposition, one that led me to immediately end my subscription. I moved to Migadu the same day they announced Proton Wallet.

  Looks like you can self-host a web version of it, which is handy. Plus it’s always nice having open-source alternatives to closed-source, commercially-led apps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s time to retire the term “user”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the human-centred language, strange as it feels on the tongue. I wonder if it might help frame development a bit better in place of ‘user’ or ‘customer’ — aside from the more real distinction between humans and AI we’re all going to have to get used to in design.
