They were the victims of terrorists. Had Hamas not been around those kids would still be alive.

Oh wow that meme brought my mood way down, childhood is long gone now.

Beginner questions about ZFS and how to use my drives.

Hello, I currently have a home server mainly for media, in which I have an SSD for the system and 2 6TB hard drives set up in raid 1 using mdadm, its the most I can fit in the case. I have been getting interested in ZFS and wanting to expand my storage since it’s getting pretty full. I have 2 12TB external hard drives. My...

Thank you for that will have to have a look into it since I am quite new and I am not completely sure how to go about things in a way to not regret it later down the line in half a year or so.

hoxbug OP ,

That’s definitely I have to look into, the nixos page on ZFS had a link to a ZFS cheat sheet of sorts that I have been trying to wrap my head around, thanks for pointing it out though.

hoxbug OP ,

That is a good point about stress testing them, if memory serves me well I believe one of the 12TB would disconnect a while back maybe 2 or so years ago when I was using windows and doing large backups. I think the consensus around seems to just mirror the 6TB and mirror the 12TB drives separate, it’s probably what I will end up doing since in the end I am tripling the amount of storage and really allowing me to lose two drives albeit two different drives before data loss. Feel I may be getting a bit greedy with what I have and should just be happy with what I am getting with that. Looking at getting an upgrade in about a year or two either way.

hoxbug OP ,

Yeah definitely wanting the redundancy, most of what I will be storing will not be life changing if lost just a big inconvenience, and for the life changing stuff I plan on having it backed up to cloud storage.

Yeah I have been having so much trouble running AI stuff on my Rx 6700 XT that I use my media computer with a RTX 2060 to do most of my experimenting with though the VRAM is really limiting.

As someone who has recently become single, it was both our faults, and I guess we just couldn’t talk them out properly or were just too different to come to an understanding.

Which is true, a lot of people see it as black magic. They are just used to what the product comes with, even if you could install iOS on an Android phones or the other way around, people would still buy an iphone cause it comes with it.

Maybe for home foundations and the like, glass fiber rebar could be used.

I have some wired headphones for when I am gaming on the computer, but anything else I use Bluetooth earbuds, and I can’t imagine going back to wired ones, never getting the cable caught on things is so freeing. They also have active noise canceling and hear thru which both come in real handy on work sites.

Choosing a printer

So I am looking out for an inkjet printer that can print in A3 size. The Epson ecotanks seem like they best fit my requirements, just wondering if it is actually refillable, and does not lock me out of actually using it after a certain amount of prints, no chips BS and all that. I have seen some stuff about the ink pad filling...

hoxbug OP ,

I sort of felt like that, currently have a brother laser printer I bought second hand. Prints very nicely and quickly but the tonner cannot be replaced easily, and seems to be a lot of work, need to buy another cartridge with a reset wheel, blow it out with a compressor. I can wear a mask and do all that but I have seen some information about needing to replace the chip on the cart as well. Also the current one only prints in A4. Just really wanting a printer that prints and that I can have replacement consumables on hand and not need to buy a tonner that costs half as much as the printer.

hoxbug OP ,

Thank you for all that information, I plan on using it weekly but don’t know if I would really end up using it daily. Might have to consider the laser route for now and get my A3 printing done somewhere else for the time being. It really does look like a more consumer friendly printer than the majority I have been looking into.
