he's got a hearing on another rape trial in June. here's hoping for some justice

as an Australian, fuck I am so grateful crazy people can't get guns in this country. imagine what this guy could have done with an automatic weapon.

you'd think he'd be more worried about Russia hacking chunks off the side of Europe

really happy to see so many athiests

yeah true. I guess what I'm saying is the considerations probably have changed, I seriously doubt RAID is no longer useful though.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago

3-2-1 is for backup, RAID is also for availability, eg your domain server not going down in case of drive failure. good point though.

yeah but if SSD failing is now less likely that other parts of the machine it might be better to focus on a redundant server to fail over to.. it's an interesting thought. RAID isn't obsolete I don't think but it's an interesting question

I do recall google apparently stopped using raid in some data centres, but it was because they had whole-machine redundancy.

RAID is probably redundant for some of the uses it used to have, like optimising read performance by using many drives (SSD is fast) and honestly I suspect that SSDs are probably more reliable as they don't have a bunch of platters and bearings and screaming rotational speeds.

So if you needed it for a base level of reliability, an SSD on its own may have exceeded that.

I suspect there are still uses for drive redundancy in some high availability setups.. although your friend might be right. If the likelihood of drive failure is lower than other parts in the machine and you need high redundancy for availability it might make more sense to replicate the whole machine rather than the drives.

It's possible redundancy specifically for the drives was an artifact of unreliable drives back in the day 🤔 they might have a point! I think it's likely still useful at times though.

I'd rather hotswap a drive than set up a new server, even if it's a less likely scenario.

that is genuinely beautiful

huh I didn't think the US could have even less credibility on war crimes

 

I didn't find this anywhere convenient when I was troubleshooting so I thought I'd post this here.

We have some large projects with a lot of dependency injection, and it was taking up to a minute to start a local dev API. After a lot of troubleshooting we found it was the dependency injection validation, which is optional and disabled in production - you can turn it off using:

webBuilder.UseDefaultServiceProvider(o =>
{
  o.ValidateScopes = true;
  o.ValidateOnBuild = false;
});

in the ConfigureWebHostDefaults() section, before the webBuilder.UseStartup() call. (I'm pretty sure this is the default template but it's been a while since I set it up..)

Saves around 50 seconds when waiting for a local API to start - obviously you don't get nice messages if you've created an issue with your dependencies so be aware of that.

I'd probably also explicitly disable ValidateScopes when it's not a dev environment but that has a lower performance impact.

 

The reduction of ship tracks due to regulations has caused the planet to warm up faster, especially in the Atlantic Ocean. This unintended consequence has provided an opportunity for scientists to study a geoengineering scheme in action.

 

spoilerCongrats to Fermin Aldeguer... holy shit that was an insane push to the finish. I held my breath for the whole last lap.

Given he's never been on a podium before, hopefully it's a sign of a star on the rise.

I think silverstone highlights different riders because of flowing corners, so we'll see, but I'm looking forward to seeing him in Philip Island!

 

xpost from https://lemmy.world/post/2494271

Researchers have discovered a new compound called LK-99 that could enable the fabrication of room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconductors. Two separate sources have provided very preliminary confirmations of this breakthrough, including a simulation indicating it could be possible and a short video from Chinese researchers that seems to indicate some properties of superconductivity.

 

I notice often people might cross post something and say (for instance) cross posted from https://lemmy.ca/post/1916492 (random example which is the link that I just followed)

Is there any way to format a link like that so your home instance will just open it up so you're still logged in and can interact with it?

The link I followed goes to the Canadian lemmy server but it's actually looking at a post from beehaw.org, so it's extra useless 😒

Eg, if we could use the [email protected] part with an ID? something like 6769052[email protected] and our home instance could parse it to a link, with some tools to make it easy to add?

EDIT: This isn't a feature, but there is a github issue feature request at https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2987 for exactly this

EDIT 2: appears to be a userscript solution, but i haven't tried it. lives here though: https://git.kaki87.net/KaKi87/userscripts/src/branch/master/fediverseRedirector/README.md

 

I love this idea. I saw some really life-defining music at 3am on a Saturday

 

It's pretty well made even if it's designed to promote a security company

 

It feels like they’re two different roles. It might be better to have user-orientated servers that prioritise federation of content and only have a couple of meta-style communities, and other servers which prioritise being the go-to place for discussion on a particular topic and less a place that manages a large number of user accounts.

It just seems like two really distinct roles all servers are trying to do at the same time, and it’s leading to larger sites with a lot of users duplicating all the same subs, rather than there being any particular spot for certain types of discussion.

It also means the server hosting a particular type of discussion might defed certain instances to prevent trolling when it’s a sensitive topic, but it wouldn’t affect a large userbase who have that as their home server, it would only be moderating the discussion for the content areas they specialise in.

Thoughts?
