“Sedates and pleases! Great for temperament”
yeah true. I guess what I’m saying is the considerations probably have changed, I seriously doubt RAID is no longer useful though.
3-2-1 is for backup, RAID is also for availability, eg your domain server not going down in case of drive failure. good point though.
yeah but if SSD failing is now less likely that other parts of the machine it might be better to focus on a redundant server to fail over to… it’s an interesting thought. RAID isn’t obsolete I don’t think but it’s an interesting question
I do recall google apparently stopped using raid in some data centres, but it was because they had whole-machine redundancy.
RAID is probably redundant for some of the uses it used to have, like optimising read performance by using many drives (SSD is fast) and honestly I suspect that SSDs are probably more reliable as they don’t have a bunch of platters and bearings and screaming rotational speeds.
So if you needed it for a base level of reliability, an SSD on its own may have exceeded that.
I suspect there are still uses for drive redundancy in some high availability setups… although your friend might be right. If the likelihood of drive failure is lower than other parts in the machine and you need high redundancy for availability it might make more sense to replicate the whole machine rather than the drives.
It’s possible redundancy specifically for the drives was an artifact of unreliable drives back in the day 🤔 they might have a point! I think it’s likely still useful at times though.
I’d rather hotswap a drive than set up a new server, even if it’s a less likely scenario.

“fuck up the party like acoustic guitars” always cracked me up so much.
I use an open source password manager and long random passwords for most things.
my master password is a long phrase though, as well as any I have to type personally sometimes. passphrases are so much easier to type as well
not for people you like
I can’t find anything like what you’re describing - my instance has a legal notice which is just a disclaimer saying they can’t be held liable, lemmy.world has a fair use and terms of service which are 404s and their privacy policy just says they won’t sell your data (but might use it for internal research) - can you tell me what you mean?
if they run a mastodon instance, you’d be federating with them just as much.
are you sure these comments are somehow protected by copyright and they can’t use them? when I post publicly like this I have no expectation of control over use.I’d be very surprised if I could somehow sue a company using this comment to train AIs.
I’d also be surprised if that status changed somehow if the server was then connected to threads?
they can already download what people are sharing. that’s not what this is about.
if they want to train AIs on your data they can scrap it from the regular feed without any integration. If they needed federation to do it they could just set up a mastodon instance to grab the data - but they don’t.
well, my dog certainly hates that! I think about 13k in my right ear but it almost seems like it’s more than one tone?
I have one of the affected CPUs 😒
