Yes, and if you don't like that, there's a lot of work to be done. Grab a shovel

Thanks for the tip, I'm trying to be google-free, so I'm testing it out. A little too late for election season, oh well

Sometimes, the point of research is to experimentally prove things we suspect are true.

Especially since it specifically highlights porn in a different color, it labeled my VPN IP as "Likes Porn".

You just need to do an aggressive head nod at the barista and you'll get a slightly bigger portion.

You characterize George Carlin as a simple contrarian?

Where's your encrypted USB recovery key stored?! Is it encrypted USBs all the way down?

Odd coming from someone who is fucking retired.

I'd suspect he sacrificed work-life balance his whole career (yes, CEOs are known for golfing and vacations, but I bet they still think of work 24/7). So just like people complaining about student loan forgiveness, some people get so angry if they perceive someone might have an easier experience than they did.

It's a very searchable name

Nice haul! This was our first year with success at carrots, but our orange batch was much more productive than the multi-color. Both tasted excellent

I'm psyched for you! I just researched hardware benchmarks and ordered a new AMD laptop and planned to run Linux. But I didn't research well, because the Wifi card doesn't have official drivers yet and I couldn't be bothered to learn to edit, make from source, and load alternate drivers, so I retreated to Win10 for a little. I'll try again later.

 

I'm newer to Linux gaming, but the consensus I've seen is that AMD is better on Linux. Will these actions change your mind? I already have Nvidia hardware, so an open source kernel module sounds like a win.

Hey fellow Selfhosters! I need some help, I think, and searching isn't yielding what I'm hoping for.

I recently built a new NAS for my network with 4x 18TB drives in a ZFS raidz1 pool. I previously have been using an external USB 12TB harddrive attached to a different machine.

I've been attempting to use rsync to get the 12TB drive copied over to the new pool and things go great for the first 30-45 minutes. At that point, the current copy speed diminishes and 4 current files in progress sit at 100% done. Eventually, I've had to reboot the machine, because the zpool doesn't appear accessible any longer. After reboot, the pool appears fine, no faults, and I can resume rsync for a while.

EDIT: Of note, the rsync process seems to stall and I can't get it to respect SIGINT or Ctrl+C. I can SSH in separately and running zpool status hangs with no output.

While the workaround seems to be partially successful, the point of using rsync is to make it fairly hands-free and it's been a week long process to copy the 3TB that I have now. I don't think my zpool should be disappearing like that! Makes me nervous about the long-term viability. I don't think I'm ready to drop down on Unraid.

rsync is being initiated from the NAS to copy from the old server, am I better off "pushing" than "pulling"? I can't imagine it'd make much difference.

Could my drives be bad? How could I tell? They're attached to a 10 port SATA card, could that be defective? How would I tell?

Thanks for any help! I've dabbled in linux for a long time, but I'm far from proficient, so I don't really know the intricacies of dmesg et al.
