  • I mean who else wants to hurt God loving Texans other than the radical left? No one that’s who. The radical left is lying to you about climate change so they can hide their secret Jewish space lasers and punish anyone on the right for speaking out. Like, if you’re on the right you’re not even allowed to speak anymore, at all, about anything. It’s always the left agenda this, or left agenda that, bo one listens to the right anymore. The radical left terrorists have bullied the right with fake climate change so now when there’s a national disaster the left can come out with their conspiracy theories about climate change when we really know what they’re doing. The left terrorists hate America and want to destroy it by making more natural disasters, and making them more serious then lie to your face and call it climate change when it’s really them who are causing natural disasters to change in our climate to silence the right.

    ~Hopefully obvious that is parody~






  • Just because Wikipedia offers a list of references doesn’t mean that those references reflect what knowledge is actually out there. Wikipedia is trying to be academically rigorous without any of the real work. A big part of doing academic research is reading articles and studies that are wrong or which prove the null hypothesis. That’s why we need experts and not just an AI to regurgitate information. Wikipedia is useful if people understand it’s limitations, I think a lot of people don’t though.



  • What I’ve done is set up an UnRAID server with an XFS pool for my media pool and a ZFS pool for my photos, family videos and documents. The biggest advantage I see with UnRAID is that it’s designed from the ground up for buying parts over time. When my media pool gets full, buy a bigger disk, slam it in, let it rebuild. When my documents (ZFS) pool is full I move it to my media array, break the ZFS pool and rebuild it bigger.

    As opposed to say a TrueNAS scale deployment with pure ZFS, where I would highly suggest that you spend the money upfront and buy the system your going to want tomorrow, not today.

    Sure UnRAID’s ZFS is not as mature as almost every other NAS OS out there but it’s good enough. Plus I have my pictures and stuff in a proper 3-2-1 backup so I’m not too worried about bitrot.

    This is the type of thing that I look at say this can’t possibly work, and the engineer beside me will look at me a little confused and say this can’t possibly fail. Sure enough they’re usually right. Usually. I still won’t be climbing on there.


  • A piece of advice with ZFS, get the largest drives you can afford.

    Expanding ZFS is painful and it’s wayyyyy easier to just start big then to grow big.

    ZFS is also a RAM hog, max out your ram cause that.

    If you want to add meta data caches, do it when you first build the array.

    The L2-arc cache and SLOG don’t do what you think they will. Make sure you really understand them before you throw them on. They’re easy to take off though.

    Last but certainly not least, ZFS is a money sink. It was made for enterprise solutions, meaning it benefits from more money being thrown at it than say XFS. Figure out what’s good enough and live with it.





  • In practice you’re right, and I’m not going to even try to argue the real life consequences AI has caused. However I disagree that AI doesn’t have any place in the education system. Used on the appropriate problems, AI is a tool that makes a few things which were challenging to compute much easier. One example is large AI models folding proteins for medical research. A problem that took a computer a day or more to solve can be solved in hours on the same equipment using AI software. That’s just one application that admittedly isn’t useful to school aged children but it’s still one useful example of AI. There are others. Students should be taught how to use AI properly, and part of that is teaching them what it’s good at and what it’ll never be able to do.

    The part I get angry about is disgusting Tech Bro Billionaires trying to shove AI into every piece of software they can. Just like the block chain they’re over promising and there’s a bubble. Unlike block chain technology AI actually has a few useful applications and because of that it’ll take a lot longer that BitCoin to finally level out.
