And disinformation is what ever the tyrant says it is. If it’s wrong, prove it dont silence it.
Oh would you people please stop pretending like we understand this pandemic perfectly and all it will take is masks and 6ft of space to make it disappear. It’s ALL speculation, no one has the perfect solution, they’re just opinions. Stop confusing multiple opinions as fact.

It’s all the tracking cookies between web entities you didn’t know have a relationship that’s the issue. Being logged in to facebook and then visiting pornhub is enough for facebook to know what porn you watch.
Re:Why Java is better than C++ for high speed trading systems on Wednesday November 25, 2020 @09:18AM (#25209439)
Rust or C/C++ are going to always be slightly faster but is it often worth it? rarely.

The error is occurring between the drive and the sata controller on the mobo. There’s also the whole issue of whether the OS or the drive is responsible for error handling. If the the drives are SAS drives, typically the OS uses fire and forget methodologies for write commands. Other drives might not support that and require zfs to handle errors at the software/kernel level
Re:An Introduction to ZFS on Friday November 20, 2020 @03:11AM (#25158333)
Just add another VDev. For example lets say you have 32 drives. It makes more sense to structure it as 4 x 8drive raidz2 instances rather than 2 x 16drive raidz3. Because then you will only have to add 8 drives vs 16 to expand the pool. You could incrementally expand your ZPool by adding new vdevs of the same or larger size. You could technically make your vdevs 4 drives in raidz1 but id recommend at least 6 drives per vdev in raidz2 or greater

More than half the time in my experience it’s usually a failing sata cable or power-supply if the hard drive continues to functions on boot but eventually goes to degraded due to checksum/read errors. Sometimes the data is just fine but a read error occurs between the drive and controller which ZFS interprets as a failng disk
Re:Windows Subsystem for Linux: The lost potential on Thursday November 19, 2020 @05:52PM (#25155319)
Exactly, especially when one of the few things Windows does a lot better than linux (at least historically) is the seamless integration of multiple video cards for having many screens which allow for more graphical interactions
Yea The US's GDP is roughly 13 times that of Russia. It's not even close to the way it was during the Cold War.
