- Comment on Apparent issues with ZFS on RPi 5 2 days ago:
When people talk about CPU limitations on the rPi, they aren’t talking about just the actual processing portion of the machine. There are also a lot of other corners cut for basically all SBCs. Including bus width and throughput.
The problem is that when you use a software raid, like ZFS, or it’s precursors, you are using far more than the CPU. You’re also using the data bus between the CPU and the IO controller.
“CPU usage” indicators don’t really tell you how active your data buses are, but how active your CPU is, in having to process information.
Basically, it’s the difference between IO wait states, and CPU usage.
The Pi is absolutely a poor choice for input/output, period. Regardless of your “metrics” tell you, it’s data bus simply does not have the bandwidth necessary to control several hard drives at once with any sort of real world usability.
You’ve wasted your money on an entire ecosystem by trying to make it do something it wasn’t designed, nor has the capability, to do.

It’s bus limited, not necessarily CPU limited.

Crypto, in my view is more conceded with libertarianism
WTF are you actually trying to say here?
Conceded is the past tense of concede, which is to surrender.
How the fuck do you more surrendered with anything???

Yes. Google far-field wireless power.
It’s not really ready for prime time, and there are a lot of things still needing to line up for it to become ready, but it’s coming eventually.

It’s exactly the opposite of what created Putin. He came out of the KGB state security service with control over the elite and the powerful.
How did those elite powerful get to be elite and powerful?
They were the product of a powerful central government giving them said power.
When the people are afraid of the government, there is tyranny. When the government is afraid of the people there is liberty.

You are wildly off base if you think I have any love for that monster.
You are also completely wrong in that oppression is the natural state of power.

Them: “We need a strong central government to protect everyone!”
Me: “Don’t do that! If bad people get control there’s gonna be trouble!”
Them: “You just hate people!” votes for strong government
Them when that strong government is then taken over by bad people: 😯

How would you stop them from doing this?
By dismantling as much of the power structure as I can. As often as I can.
Burn.
It
All
Down.
- Comment on Itch.io apologise for "frustration and confusion" after delisting thousands of NSFW projects 1 week ago:
The problem is that government even has the power to do those things.
And to paraphrase you, you can’t solve government problems with more government, I’m sorry, man.

Rofl. Your god can eat a dick. I’ve seen exactly what your god does.
It’s easier to start a competing comp than it is to start a competing government.
You need a powerful standing army for the latter, and standing armies are part of why we’re in the trouble we’re in.

How naive can you be? You think your vote matters here?
When every single district has been gerrymandered to death for 100 years, nobody’s vote really matters anymore.

So you want Trump and MAGA politicians to be able to deny your payments instead?
The problem with “just let the government do it” is when the government is run by people like this.

Did you even read the article? It clearly states a core SOFTWARE component. Not hardware.

“I know millions of people use their service because it’s the only real option they have, but because it’s associated with this one guy I don’t like, they can all eat a dick!”

There are more guns than people in the US, and contrary to belief, they’re not all owned by the magagotts…
What I find most disturbing about the Republican party is how quickly they shift from “small government is good” to “we need more government so we can enact our brand of authoritarianism! But those guys over there? They’re the big government ones!”
Which is nuts, because you can’t have an authoritarian government without a government large enough to enforce said authority!
I’m at the point where I am leaning more and more into the “just burn it all down and start over” side of things.
- Comment on Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance 2 weeks ago:
Yeah we have a camera pointed at our driveway from our garage door. It isn’t close enough to the road to trigger movement from people walking or driving by.
But if they come inside the fence it’ll pick em up.
Also have a couple of cameras watching other random parts of the yard. We live on just under 2 acres, and it’s all enclosed in chain link fencing. Next to us is an automotive maintenance shop owned by a by here pay here lot a few miles closer to town, and they don’t always hire the most trustworthy individuals to work on cars…

Not really. Look up Ford Bluecruise. Difference is, Ford wasn’t out there for years promising to have it all perfected in an unreasonably short timeframe. They just quietly worked in it until they felt it was ready. THEN they announced it.

I have just shy of 8TB of data on my home file server.
That’s not including my NVR (for security cameras) which has a single 6TB SATA drive sitting around 40% capacity.
- Comment on Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate 3 weeks ago:
I had a single red 2TB in an old tivo roamio for almost a decade.
Pulled out this weekend, and finally tested it. Failed.
I was planning to move my 1.5T music collection to it. Glad I tested it first, lol.
- Comment on US | Two guys hated using Comcast, so they built their own fiber ISP 3 weeks ago:
I know. Isn’t great? When there’s no party in true “control” then whoever wants to think it’s the other guy’s fault can easily do so.
I was already an adult in 1996. It was definitely a bipartisan thing. Despite many tech insiders warning how it would cause the exact opposite of what it was intended to do, Clinton didn’t just sign it. He and Al Gore, for years, claimed it as their own.
Hell, it was this exact act Al Gore was referring to when he claimed he “invented” the Internet.

The deregulation in the 90s is what killed the local ISP. Thanks, Bill.

My folks had a tape backup system in the late 1990s. It used 250MB tapes.
They’ve been around for decades.
