they were selling wd red (pro?) drives with smr tech, which is known to be disastrous for disk arrays because both traditional raid and zfs tends to throw them out. the reason for that is when you are filling it up, especially when you do it quickly, it won’t be able to process your writes after some time, and write operations will take a very long time, because the disk needs to rearrange its data before writing more. but raid solutions just see that the drive is not responding to the write command for a long time, and they think that’s because the drive is bad.

it was a few years ago, but it was a shitfest because they didn’t disclose it, and people were expecting that nas drives will work fine in their nas.

but then wd and their fake red nas drives with smr tech?

what else we have?

or they would just gasp and then forget in 3 minutes, because people got desensitized.

I have lost faith in humanity. nothing would happen. not a thing.

and teflon. don’t forget about teflon.

this reads like the next step is to force them to freeze theirs

Boomers were products of the baby boom but they also saw their economy boom.

I though boomers were the producers of the baby boom

nah, the rich has to be eaten

I often wonder if yours is an automated account, but did you read the comments?

bitcoin is a bad currency but you absolutely can buy legal things. like, check shopinbit. there’s also a similar website that buys the thing for you from amazon

I don’t think bitcoin provides much value in itself. Its basically an asset that is hard to make more of, like money or gold, which are also valuable because of this and that gold and specific currencies are relatively widely used.

bitcoin’s supposed added value over money is private digital transactions across the globe in a private way, so that you can send money whoever you want, but it’s not practically private, and has so large operating costs (even just the transaction fee) that it’s not really better than bank transactions.

so in short: its value is in its scarcity, and that you can speculate on it. the other possible advantages are not realized.

since the value is in speculation, the dollar limit is when investors start selling enough of it so that others will do the same out of fear. which is who knows how much. but it’s probably more related to other factors than the dollar value.

because most of us know this is bullshit

I agree with the depicted actual developers, but this is still funny

why would you want to be if you are not already? honest question

that’s bullshit. spaces are not valid in URLs. they always need to be URL encoded. I see you complaining about such manual work, but that does not make sense, as it just shouldn’t happen!

where are you getting that URL? ddg has been inserting a + sign in place of any spaces for a very, very long time. this is not even a solved problem, it’s not a problem at all!

it’s enabled, what isn’t is offering to save your passwords

fuck them for smearing the Stargate name!

also for burning our planet, but that’s obvious.

202 comments of pure hate in just a week. I am impressed, if not for else then for how much time they have to be hateful

hmm I’m not sure I understand you. qbittorrent allows you to set whether you want to also use I2P or only that, globally for all torrents. but I2P peers who are in mixed mode, they can work as a bridge, getting the pieces from internet peers and redistributing it on the I2P network

the launcher might become a very similar but stripped down version.

if you liked to have more features, try the lawnchair launcher from f-droid. its a fork with readded features. you need to have the izzydroid repo activated to find it

I was preparing my verbal pitchforks, but it seems they have chosen a middle ground. they will only require verification for adult content, and only in the EU and UK.

which means that if you don’t need adult content or you can use a VPN, then it seems it won’t affect you. so they are probably doing the bare minimum required by law
