You want your drives to fail at different times! Which means you want your load to be unbalanced, from a reliability standpoint. If you put the same load on every drive (like in a traditional RAID5/6) then the drives are likely to fail at around the same time. Especially if you don't go out of your way to get drives from different manufacturing batches. But if you misbalance the amount of work the drives get they accumulate wear and tear at different rates and spend different amounts of time in idle, leading them to fail at wildly different times, giving you ample time to rebuild the raid.

I'd still recommend anyone to have two parity drives (which unraid does support)

I often see these discussions and "drive failure" is often mentioned and I wish the phrase was instead "unrecoverable read error" because that's the more accurate phrase. To me, "drive failure" conjures ideas of completely failed devices. An unrecoverable read error can and does happen on our bigger and bigger drives with regularity and will stop most raid rebuilds in their tracks.

I'm guessing I'll get down-voted for this, but what's to stop any browser/executable from trolling through /proc on Linux and knowing about what every process running as you is doing?

The data ownership reminds me a bit of an early business ummm transaction if Dr Phil:

1. Sell the gullible public long-term memberships to a gym, with long-term subscriptions.

2. Sell the subscriptions to a 3rd party.

3. Close gym. Subscription contract still valid.

It's very easy to be cynical. Home Assistant belongs to a non profit. While that in and of itself isn't bullet proof, it does go a long way.

I have a Guild Wars 2 character named Wanda Trossler. To this day no one has gotten the reference.

It would be nice if i could limit by my preferred operating system.

riddley commented on Ask HN: What is your favorite lesser known VIM shortcut you can share · Posted by u/irishmansevilla

When I'm showing people the power of vim, I often use the `i` verb, like `ci"` and how it's not a "shortcut" but instead a sentence: change in quotes. If you start thinking about vim as a language instead of a collection of things to memorize, it becomes much easier, IMO.

not a shortcut but still tremendously useful when I need it:

    # open some files in vertical splits

    > ls $FILES | nvim -O

    # -o does horizontal splits

nvim -o $FILES

riddley commented on Ask HN: Custom domain name for personal email? · Posted by u/yesthis

I use fastmail to host my domains. You could try <yoursurname>family.tld or the<yoursurname>s.tld.

One tip: Since you can set up "fall through" emails with Fastmail, I'm able to use businessname@mydomain.tld for every business I interact with. Emails sent to those addresses will end up in my mailbox and I get the benefit of knowing who sells my email address. Good luck!

I see the acronyms MVP and MPV in the post. Does someone know what they mean?

Pretty sure it's Minimum Viable Product. This is a common term for a product with enough features to prove the value of the endeavor.

Super serious question: When will this be a ghostty shader that flashes Rick's face every time I hit return?
