So, what they are actually saying is that the government is “hurting the wrong people”.

They wanted people hurt, just not not themselves.

To be perfectly honest, I don’t know what GFS is, I have been a Linux sysadmin for a few years, but never came across that.

We used LVM and ext4 for the storage in those VMs

I know it is a bit complex, but after seeing the shenanigans Synology tried to play and reading review about Ugreen NAS units and how they seem to connect to external servers often, I just decided to roll my own TrueNAS build.

I am using an AMD Ryzen 4600G, 32GB of RAM, a 500GB boot SSD, the only mATX board I could find with six SATA ports, the Asus B550m Pro4 and a Corsair SF750 750W PSU to power it all.

I will if I can, as it stands I have four 8TB seagate drives, enough for my actual storage need, but I want to have two parity drives for extra protection.

I am planning on running ZFS with Zraid2, the drives are the final piece of the puzzle to at least get it working.

When I planned the build, I planned to get another controller card and run two SSDs as well, one for cache (I can add that later), and one for VM/App storage, I also planned on getting an Intel GPU for transcoding video, and a 10Gig NIC, mainly just to say I have it, as my network isn’t more than normal gigabit.

It is getting more important to complete the build as I need to move my media from single, non raided hard drives in my computer to a well raided server that I can configure for bitrot protection.

I do see that another retailer has drives in stock, but at about 40-50% more than I paid back in October

I get paid on the 27th, I need two more 8TB drives to complete my NAS, my local retailer had 50+ in stock earlier this week, and now the drives are no longer even listed.

Fuck sake…

For me it boils down to it pretending to be different from Chrome while using the same rendering engine, thus keeping more power at Google.

As someone who lived through the time when IE was dominant and seeing the web stagnate until Mozilla released Firefox and began competing with new features and better speed, I never want to go back to a world with just one main rendering engine, we are sadly there again with Blink, but I am not going to support it.
