Linus Torvalds Begins Expressing Regrets Merging Bcachefs
  • Just went through the newer messages of the thread. Really interesting to see this kind of exchange out in the open. Getting my popcorn to see if any feelings will be hurt. And perfectly understandable, that this is not the right way or process to do things. Merging something like this in the middle of a release says a lot for the current state of bcachefs.

  • Cheap but reliable external SSD for RPis
  • Since you mentioned MLC, maybe you have some suggestions for eg used server grade disks? Would the Rpi be able to run something like the Intel datacenter SSDs eg S3700? The power loss protection is really something I would like to have, especially in a homelab scenario. Or any other notable MLCs with larger capacities? I am having trouble finding a good list sorted by max potential storage.

  • Cheap but reliable external SSD for RPis
  • Crucial is fine but IIRC the 1TB+ variants are too good to be true (cheap) and will die quite fast. Just a note for everyone to look into the underlying technology on the particular model.

  • Cheap but reliable external SSD for RPis
  • Log2ram is a service which keeps your log files in RAM, avoids the constant writes to disk and really helps with SDcard longevity. Probably helps with SSDs too.

    You can just Google it and check out the github page, no need for LLM accuracy lottery

  • "PSA: Update Vaultwarden as soon as possible"
  • I do not have to share passwords with 10-50 people and neither did the op imply this. I am having trouble figuring out the reasoning behind your message. Why would this be a normal use case?

  • Follow up on supporting Immich announcement - change of wording
  • I mean this comment well. You seem to be clueless about the problems open source projects are facing. Free work and hopefully the maintainer doesn't burn out before he can hand the torch to another person.

  • Follow up on supporting Immich announcement - change of wording
  • Are you not aware of the countless issues with absolutely unsustainable open source projects out there in the wild?

    We need a cultural change and a way to normalize supporting and paying (whoever can afford to) for good open source projects.

  • PSA: GoDaddy gated their own API. DDNS users warned
  • Yes, a thousand times this. DeSEC is awesome, I moved my domain record management there. I'm usually buying domains on namecheap, and the IP allow list thing for the API was just too annoying to deal with.

  • Intel denies RMA requests for its faulty 13th Gen, 14th Gen CPUs with instability issues
  • I used my 5900x for over 3 years without a hiccup (months of uptime) when suddenly an update completely wrecked my idle stable. I think I figured it out, but yeah a happy AMD customer with the occasional "Why isn't shit stable out of the box"

    Now Intel... Hahahaha guys I think you got screwed :/ time to lawyer up.

  • A bob Ross painting I did
  • This is great, I really have to dig out my painting supplies I ordered a few years ago. I started with acryl so I practice a bit before switching to oil, then RL happened and between "no time" and "I need better lightning" / "research about safe non toxic paint cleaner" I kinda forgot about it.

    Do you have any modern guides with "just get this and don't overthink it" that you can recommend? With a kid at home I don't really wanna stress too much about toxic paint etc.

    Keep painting 👍👌

  • So much for Blockchain's real life use cases
  • The last time I had to send 30 Euro to someone, I had to pay 5 Euro for gas fees. It used to be even worse. Your statements are bullshit, we all know what the usual use cases are (other than speculation)

  • Volvo is moving EV production from China to Belgium as the EU eyes tariffs on Beijing
  • It is impossible to compete when the playing field is not level. If state subsidies, energy production, co2 impact (not bullshit certificates and offsetting) could be equalized, then tariffs wouldn't be so badly needed.

    I too would like to have no VAT, import tax etc, and for everyone to get along nicely. The reality is, that we live in a highly competitive world where major powers are fighting for control over critical industries and raw resources.

  • Protecting HDDs from (external) train vibrations

    I am worried that externally caused vibrations might damage my HDDs (NAS in the planning). The subway / metro runs under my building, and every time the train passes, this causes slight but measurable vibrations in the 50-100 Hz frequency range. It is more like a rumbling noise than the usual vibration of a passing train.

    I've been researching the topic of vibration dampening on and off, and things like sorbothane popped up in my search. I also remember finding foam plates in an eye scorching yellow material.

    My plan is to set up the case, fire up a measuring app on my phone (say phybox or the like) and test a few options. But I figured, I can't be the first person to be guarding against outside vibrations. :D

    Other than the usual 3-2-1 and backup regularly, what can I actually do? I would like to make sure that the lifespan of the HDDs doesn't get too negatively impacted, so the chances of a catastrophic failure, as well as having to invest 1k EUR every couple of years is reduced as much as possible. Thanks!
