I suggest relocating Israel to Uganda… The zionist congress had considered it before they ever considered Palestine anyway.

Thanks :)
I think they are kind of neat. Large volume cold storage is a big issue for home gamers/self hosters. Storage, at scale, can be very expensive and so hard to backup. Tapes are great, but incredibly fucking expensive (the tapes no so bad, but the drives are thousands of dollars… Used!) So I really wish high capacity BluRay M-Discs were more prevalent, market at scale would easily drive down the cost of the media, and the drives are/were already cheap. Unfortunately seeing the trajectory optical medias are in right now, that’s very unlikely to happen :(

Just throwing the 1000 years mark is a kinda of marketing. But the cool thing is there’s actual science behind it.
But the issue with writable optical discs is that the substrate is based on organic material. These material, usually a cyano group, oxidize over time. You can help slow that does by keeping them out of the sun, prevent heat cycles, etc. But short of storing them in nitrigen they will eventually oxidize. What’s more, CDs have their data layer completely exposed on top making the problem even more pronounced. DVDs and Blu-ray at least have a layer of plastic on top of the data layer, but that’s obviously still not 100% impermeable to oxygen.
M-Discs on the other hand use a carbon glass for the data layer. Something that doesn’t oxidize. Heat cycling night form cracks in it, so yeah I would avoid significant heat/cold cycles if you want them to last, but past that they should be really fucking stable.
It is 100 years? 500? 999? Maybe, but it’s kind of irrelevant. In optimal storage conditions (which are easily achievable) they should last many lifetimes.
- Comment on Adding drive for raid 1 to LUKS? 1 day ago:
Yes it’s totally possible, you can stack mdadm, lvm, and luks (an Infact stack them in any order you want - not that all combinations make sense).
However you will need to make a backup of your disk first to create the mdadm raid1 since most likely you would like the raid to be first.
- Comment on Canadian/German/Mexican Initiative 2 days ago:
Yeah it’s not like the WV Westfalia that had you sit over the front wheel where the only choice for crumple zones was your legs.
When they made the new beattle it had a very similar shape as well. I see no reasons why it couldn’t be made with modern safety standards with very minimal changes to the exterior body. Obviously, I’m not a member of the SAE.

M-Disks are rate for one thousand years. Unlike other writable optical meidaz it doesn’t use an organic substrate. It’s carbon glass, very stable.

That’s not entirely true, some do in fact use water cooling. There’s even “of the shelf” solutions from Supermicro.

Yes that’s the point. I’m replying to one one who thinks this is only an issue in the US.

Since at least 1976, police have picked up Indigenous men, women, and boys, then left them miles outside the city on sub-zero winter nights, leading to what’s known as the Saskatoon freezing deaths.

In China workers rights are pretty non-existent and there’s no OSHA equivalent, at least not to the degree we have in the US
How much maternity leave d’you get in the US? Cause in. China it’s a minimum of 90 days up to 180. And an extra 15~30 days of pat leave. Mandatory paid holiday? US: 0 China: 11. Sick leave? US: 0 China: months (at reduced rate).
The work sfatey certainly remains an issue, like any developing country, but things are rapidly improving.

Alternatively we could start subsiding local car makers
We have been. Bailout after bailout. For the longest fucking time, and have had insane trade rules and tarrigs in place for decades and decades. I’d argue this is what another country finally being able to play on a level playing field.

- Comment on Why doesn't the US government just tax illegal immigrants a little bit more than the Average american? Then use those funds to fix infastructure or a new WPA of the 21st century? 5 weeks ago:
a) the main purpose is to avoid paying b) because spending a bunch of cash can be suspicious to other agencies that are looking, like if law enforcement is already suspicious and starts seeing a ton of large purchases without a legitimate source of income they will figure out something is up c) because people don’t know any better.

Fair enough. The same saying often goes for sex workers.
That’s how they ended up catching Al Capone, on tax fraud charges.

How do you mean? The whole point is to encourage people, everyone, to pay taxes. It’s a great system. Taxes enforcement should be truly independent from all other agencies to maximize trust and honesty.
