2 days agoSMR is designed for enterprise raid that is SMR-aware.
I’m not aware of any open-source zoned storage raid but I think Ceph is planning to add support next month.

- Yes.
- Yes, and if you want custom configuration, you can include your configuration in-line in the same file that installs the http server and sets up systemd for it. Or you can even write your own module that drops configuration files in the same file.
- Home-manager modules are modules that run stuff exclusively in
~, doing things like configuring browsers or dotfiles. As opposed to NixOS modules which configure system-level daemons.
Ah cool, I’ll check it out.
The home manager documentation bothers me a lot
Excuse you, I don’t have a problem.
using Linux desktop isn’t easier than using windows

On non-Fairphones, which tend to have larger batteries and lower power consumption batteries tend to be usable for much longer. We are talking 3-5 years there.
No way.
Get the battery replaced once in the phone’s lifetime at a local 3rd party repair shop for €100 wait for half an hour and get your phone back.
These shops only service iPhones and Samsungs, there’s only like 1-2 shops in Stockholm that repair Pixels and Xiaomis at all, let alone whatever 3 year old model you have. Not to mention things like screen and USB port repairs cost 100-200€ more than the fairphone parts.
(Fairphone tends to have availability issues with spare parts. For example, right now the FP5 battery is out of stock.)
I’ve had to wait a month for a fairphone battery before, but it’s not like they’re discontinued. I can imagine battery warehousing costs more than screens and USB ports.
A repairable phone is the most important thing. I could buy a used flagship, but the battery will be trashed. I used to buy a phone every 2 years but now I just buy a battery every 2 years. I can use my phone knowing that if anything breaks I can have a replacement part in within a week, and I don’t have to spend 100€s to ship it to some repair shop in a different part of the country.
Fairphone 4 and 5 are also the only smartphones certified by the Swedish unions: https://tcocertified.com/product-finder/index?category=Smartphones
Who in the US is buying midrange or flagship phones without a loan?
Have you actually met any of them at say, Fosdem?
Can we stop letting chatbots make economic and administrative decisions, thanks

tbf all the big storage clusters use either mirroring or erasure coding these days. For bulk storage, 4+2 or 8+2 erasure coding is pretty fast, but for databases you should always use mirroring to speed up small writes. but yeah for home use, just use LVM or zfs mirrors.
yeah i still use hard drives for storing movies, logs, and backups on my Nas cluster, but using it for nextcloud or remote game storage is too slow. I also live in an apartment and the scrubs are too loud. There’s only a 5:1 price premium, so it’s worth just going all flash unless you have like 30tb storage needs.
Eh hard drives are archival storage these days. They are DOG SLOW and loud. Any real time system like Nextcloud should probably be using ssds these days.
they make bulk storage ssds with QLC for enterprise use.
The reason why they’re not used for consumer use cases yet is because raw nand chips are still more expensive than hard drives. People dont want to pay $3k for a 50tb SSD if they can buy a $500 50tb hdd and they don’t need the speed.
For what it’s worth, 8tb TLC pcie3 U.2 SSDs are only $400 used on ebay these days which is a pretty good option if you’re trying to move away from noisy slow hdds. 4 of those in raid 5 plus a diy nas would get you 24tb of formatted super fast nextcloud/immich storage for ~$2k.
Raid 5 is becoming less viable due to the increasing rebuild times, necessitating raid 1 instead. But new drives have better iops too so maybe not as severe as predicted.
2·2 months agoYeah one nice thing about nixos is that their package search website is really good. You can also search for config options with examples.
I mean the Arch wiki mostly works on NixOS too. The problem with NixOS documentation is that there aren’t many examples for the Nix language itself.
SSDs are getting crazy cheap.
If you need 10tb of storage, you could get 2x used 10tb hdds in raid 1 for $200, but 6x used 2tb nvme in raid 5 is only $600 and 100x faster. Both take up the same amount of space.
