Goddamit.

Why won’t this series just fucking die already

Just keep in mind that the rebuild time for RAID 6 grows with drive size. A 6TB drive takes 1.4 days to rebuild, an 8TB drive takes 1.8 days, and a 10TB drive takes 2.3 days. So when a drive fails you might have a lot of downtime.

Here’s the calculator I used in case anyone asks or has a more accurate option to recommend: https://cal67.calculator.city/raid-rebuild-time-calculator.html

Also, apparently this is a best case scenario. If you’re still having the server run you could see rebuild times up to 10x this.

That being said, it you stagger your drive life (aka add or prematurely replace 1 drive per year) you can further minimize risk of 2-3 drives going down all at the same time, so a yearly rebuild in the background shouldn’t be too bad

You seem to not understand what “profit” means.

Off topic, but how cool would it be if NASA started its own Pixelfed server for official pictures like this?

publicly sourced != public domain

That being said, for some people in STEM the homework is >90% of the practice that you need to pass the exams.

That is, unless it’s a topic that’s mainly memorization like medicine or organic chemistry

In some states, cyclists legally get the entire lane. And when you’re going up to a low visibility intersection, you want to be in the middle of the road to maximize the angles that you’re visible

Cars. Let’s ban them first, shall we?

We need walkable cities and ample public transit first.

Not disagreeing though. It’d be great to transition back to them in the US

Sure, a lot of this is likely funded by Fortnite

If it needs to be subsidized by Fortnite then it’s by definition not profitable

Why do people like you always have to defend what a company does all the time?

Because it’s pretty fucking obvious that the 12% cut was just Tim Swiney trying to grab market share for EGS without actually putting in the work to develop it.

Remember how it took over 2 years for them to add a cart? Remember how they just laid off 1000 employees? Using Fortnite money to pay for exclusive deals and game givaways instead of actually developing the store hasn’t turned out profitable.

Also, ever notice how nobody was complaining about Steam’s cut before that? And let’s not forget that Steam Greenlight and subsequent opening up of allowing nearly any game onto their platform is what made the indie market more than an extremely small niche. Or the fact that much of the 30% cut is getting reinvested into Linux and FOSS to keep PC gaming an open ecosystem, which benefits everyone, including indie studioa

Plus, their investment into Linux gaming and FOSS in general are preventing PC gaming from being locked down to a singled OS that becomes a walled garden.

Also note that nobody was saying this before Tim Swiney started trying to break into the marlet

I think it’s more that they’re playing it loudly in public. You can lile what you like, but don’t force it down other people’s throats

Bluegrass is way better than country

You might want to try a service based on XMPP instead of Matrix due to how Matrix caches all the chats its users are in. If you want to go the XMPP route, Movim is the most similar to Discord.

For streaming, I’ve heard of Owncast as a FOSS alternative. I don’t stream nor do I watch them, so please don’t consider this more than pointing out what’s available

As someone with a similar hobby, I personally hate this clip. It’s obviously choreographed, but I just don’t find concussions funny anymore.

Depends on what era. In Europe, coats of plates didn’t really appear before the 13th century and full plate armor wasn’t developed until the late 14th century. Before that you mainly had people wearing chainmail and a helmet if they could get it, or gambesons (cloth armor).

At that time, weapons were still somewhat effective against armor. Spears, axes, and arrows could punch through chainmail.

When full plate armor was developed, only the very wealthy had access to it, and everyone else continued to just wear chainmail and gambesons. Fully armored knights effectively became tanks that could slash their way through all the peons.

The only realistic way the foot soldiers could stop them was to have several guys swarm an isolated knight, each grabbing a limb, and hold him down. Then they would either stab the knight through the gaps in his armor (like the eyeslot of the visor) or more likely would drag him off for ransom.

That being said, there are plenty of instances of 2 armored knights fighting each other, with them often half-swording or grappling each other to the ground and stabbing each other with daggers.

But my earlier comparison to tanks still stands. Most of the time, tanks are actually supporting infantry units, with tank v tank encounters being relatively rare. Similarly, knights spent most of their time in relatively small units killing a lot of unarmored opponents

I wouldn’t recommend Pop!_OS at the moment. They just added their new desktop environment (COSMIC) and there’s a lot of bugs.

Also, if you’re wanting to play newer games that need driver updates you may have to wait due to the slow update cycle of distros based on Debian/Ubuntu

Sony is a close second, BTW 😁

Crunchyroll had a major security breach earlier this week

You are correct
