So I opened this article to find out at the very beginning, that author put's a lot of money to AI providers... So probably also used it to write this article. So, according to the rule "text which is not worth of spending time on writing is also no worth of reading" I closed it.
Re:The unpowered SSDs in your drawer are slowly losing your data

SLC are produced, but the issue is that there is no (I'm aware of) SLC products for consumer market

That's how it has to work. To increase capacity you have to make smaller cells where charge may easier diffuse from one cell to another. Also to make drive faster, stored charge has to be smaller, which also decrease endurance. With SLC and QLC comparison is even worse as QLC is basically clever hack to store 4 times more data in the same number physical cells - it's tradeoff.

I'm using Linux on some dell precision and camera just don't work. It's possible to install some custom kernel to make it work, but the pain of maintaining it by myself in comparison to IT department supported setup is a no go.
Re:Scripts I wrote that I use all the time

Sometimes it's rather matter of sanity than time management. I once created systemd service which goes to company web page and downloads some files which I sometimes need. This script was pretty hacky, and writing it took me a lot of time - probably more than clicking manually on this page in the long run. But clicking it so annoying, that I feel it was totally worth.

Re:Mini NASes marry NVMe to Intel's efficient chip

That's cool, except that NAND memories are horrible to hoard data. It has to be powered all the time as cells needs to be refreshed periodically and if you exceed threshold of like 80 percent of occupied storage you will get huge performance penalty due to internal memory organization.

Re:That's a Lot of YAML

In most cases Yaml is bizarre kind of DSL with tricky way of API interaction. For instance - I don't understand why exactly the same Ansible API isn't just python library?

After a while I started to think this article is AI generated gibberish. After deeper thought I came to conclusion that appearance of LLM made internet as source of information completely unreliable.
Re:An indie studio created a game based on Stanislaw Lem's novel

As always, it depends. I would suggest to start with the book, as the game is kind of spoiler. Also it allows you to better compare your own vision of this cool retro futuristic world with game creators vision.
Re:WD announces enterprise 128TB SSD

There is good reason for size of such NAS devices. HDDs are just better to maintain your not corrupted data when not connected, as NANDs needs to be refreshed from time to time. The best you could do is to use SSD as a fast cache.

I made simple mechanical macropad (only two keys) out of LEGO bricks, ethernet wire and Arduino nano. And little bit of PC software to overcome Arduino nano limitations.
I was really surprised how springy LEGO may be :)

Re:Linux on a Commodore 64!

3 years ago I tried to run any modern distro on Pentium 3 (without compiling anything by myself). It appeared I wasn't able due to "invalid opcode" error inside systemd. I switched to Devuan (Debian fork without systemd) and it boot and was as usable as first raspberry pie.
