painting the bare wooden walls white

Welp, they just lost my business (not that I’d been there in years before this anyway…).

Painting real wood (other than maybe pine or poplar) is like painting brick: just don’t do it!

Is there anything special about the “inside a RAR archive” part? Would other archive formats work just as well, or could the maliciously-named file be attached to an email directly?

Police are the descendants of fugitive slave patrols and union-busting Pinkertons. “Protect and serve” has always been a lie.

an i5-7500 should be faster

4 cores worth of Kaby Lake is faster than 32 cores worth of Interlagos?

Fun fact: all these smart TVs run Linux, which is supposed to facilitate that, but they’re DRM’d to prevent it instead. There are active lawsuits going on about it.

Not gonna lie: I’d be considering asylum too, if I were enough of a persecuted minority that I thought Canada would be likely to grant it.

It’s their own damn fault for not filming it, or at least writing it down!

Nothin’ I’m running, that’s for sure!

It’s not really that there are services that require that much processing power for a single request; it’s that it’s designed to handle normal requests for hundreds or thousands of users at once.

I suppose that supporting 0.5TB of RAM means it could deal with quite a big LLM, but any sort of halfway-modern GPU would absolutely run circles around it in terms of tokens per second, on any model that fit in their VRAM.

My drives are 3.5" 💀

It has an HBA, 3 hard drives, and 3 SSDs. I was going to add a couple more hard drives (just to try to get some more use out of old ones I had lying around), but 0.5TB ones might not have enough capacity to be worth their power draw.

The fascists know the tactics are counterproductive (from the perspective of someone with honest goals), and that’s why they’re using them.

Funny you should mention that, because it’s what got me thinking about Ceph in the first place. My other Proxmox node has a 2-drive mirrored ZFS pool, and I went to add a third drive to it and realized that I’d have to move all the data off and rebuild it from scratch, so I started looking for other solutions.

So yeah, I think Ceph can add to an array after-the-fact like that (in addition to the not-waste-capacity-of-random-assorted-disks thing), but I haven’t figured it out enough yet to be sure.

I have a Proxmox server with a random assortment of hard drives and SSDs of various capacities {8TB, 2TB, 2TB, 240GB, 240GB}. I want to create a CephFS filesystem spanning them, using erasure-coded pools in order to maximize capacity (kind of like RAID 5 except without requiring same-sized drives). How do I configure my CRUSH Map in order to accomplish this?

Like a VM virtual disk? Those are exclusive to each VM and can’t be shared, so if you want multiple VMs to access the same data then NFS would be needed.

But containers with bind mounts don’t have that limitation and multiple containers can access the same data (such as media).

Just to be clear, are you saying that when you’re using bind-mounted ZFS pools, it’s okay to write from two containers (or both the proxmox host and a container) at the same time?

Also, I think I managed to accomplish that for a VM by creating a Proxmox Directory pointing to a path in a zpool, adding it to the VM using virtiofs, and mounting it within the VM. I’m not sure if writes from both the VM and the host are safe in that case either, though.

No, it’s a US giant-monster-mega-bank thing.

Would 64-bit Proton be able to support old 32-bit games?

Not me! I switched in 2017, right around the time Windows 10 “telemetry” (read: spyware) was getting backported to Windows 7.

It was a rough first couple of years, gaming-wise, but I managed to get by playing mostly Linux-native games and using PlayOnLinux with pre-Proton WINE for the one or two games important enough to justify the hassle.

(INB4 “weird flex but OK”)

I gotta admit, I was pretty conflicted about Proton when it was first announced, since there was a lot of fear that it would reduce developer impetus to make proper Linux-native games. I’m not actually sure whether that came to pass or not, but I feel like the issue is a lot less important than it seemed at the time.
