Mffh cool, and annoying in this case, but generally good. Might just stick with it and use another instance as needed. Thank you kindly for letting me know.

Wasn't saying it applies, just that it's required for murder (1st degree anyway) as the headline spoke. You're probably righter than me, though.

Have you looked at LocalAI seems pretty useful, if I was setting up again I'd go containerized...

Totally, if you need it use the century old, high density, well understood fuel, it's just good engineering. Doesn't need to be carbon negative. Even rockets are using methane these days...

There are probably use cases for hydrogen, but they're likely large installations, either fixed or trains / ships. Toyota spent a decade trying to make it smaller and failed.

Srsly, no-one going with the "it's free real estate" meme.

Jokingly, but also really, seems a waste. I get they don't want the overhead, but just boost it north, perhaps to a Lagrange, maybe just high orbit, but someone will come along to salvage eventually...

ETA: Also, one of the beauties of SpaceX is that Musk doesn't muck with it (yet), working too well without him, unlike everything else he's bollocksed up.

So, when I open an image in a new tab I get

Type: WEBP (document.contentType=image/webp)

Dimensions: 557px × 900px

Seems like it was a jpg, but now it's webp (and yes I've tried to convince firefox to not like webp, seems to be ignored.

Is there a switch the admin can pull to stop this? They're pretty nice, but I'd like to make it easy on them.

Hmm, shall look into it.

Isn't this what manslaughter is for, if you want the conviction ? I get why mens rea may not apply here, but bringing it into question may make it viable next time, which would be worthy (or likely I don't understand law well enough).

Isaac Asimov used to say that the real sound of scientific progress wasn't "Eureka!", but rather, "Hmm. That's funny."

MalReynolds , 8 days ago to Selfhosted in current best HDD-model choice

To a large degree, the point of RAID is to not care about drive reliability, trust the process. Also, you seem to conflate RAID with backup ("RAID is not a backup"), you want both. In a NAS, you're probably better off with RAID5 + backup.

In a system that can take a drive failure, the current datahoarder zeitgeist is Manufacturer Recertified (Enterprise) Drives, see ServerPartDeals.com if you're a yank, other countries have their own options.

MalReynolds , 9 days ago to Selfhosted in Make a raid 5 with two almost full disk and another one empty

I'd suggest you move toward a backup approach ("RAID is not a backup") first. Assuming you have 2x10Tb, get a 3rd and copy half of your files to it, disconnect it, and now half your files are protected. Save, get another, copy the other half, now all your files are protected. If you're trying to do RAID on USB, don't, you are already done, otherwise (using SATA or better) you can proceed to build your array in an orderly fashion.
