Well, I remembered it wrong, it's only 100 TB written. Still quite a lot IMO. Reads are 300 TB+ though.

Yep, it's a lot, but it should be right. Hope I did not misread the numbers. It runs quite write-heavy warehouse and cash register store database, running 24/7. I don't have the drive by me now, but I'll try to remember and post pic on Monday when I'm back to work.

Yeah, I get that. But since it's (basically) XMPP, can't it be used with such as Converse.js?

I wonder how does this differ from plain XMPP? There are tons of XMPP clients for every imaginable device, includong browser ones.

We have hundreds of Samsung 860/870 EVOs in operation at my work now. All of them are working reliably in both windows and linux machines running 24/7 for years. Some more heavily used (local postgres db) are probably not in the best condition, but still working. Speaking of mostly 250 GB ones.

We used to buy OCZ brand. First OCZs (Vertex 3) were amazing, some of them are still in work for 10+ years. Vertex 460 still great, again, some are still in use. But ever since Toshiba came in and old models were replaced with Trion models, it went to shit. Some of those models in the same environment started to fail (and I mean critical failures, like no OS after reboot or missing data etc.) after less than a year. Some of them still run in less critical PCs with light use, but do I trust the brand? Hell no.

I just checked one 250 GB OCZ Vertex 3 running for ~10 years with Crystaldisk. It has over 220 TB written, 300 TB read, and crystaldisk still shows roughly 40% lifetime left. It ran in badly wented, really dusty Dell Optiplex with Windows XP.

Edit: Personally I also have good experience with Crucial/Micron too, but that's just based on home use for storing music, documents, steam games and not much else.

Maybe move to somewhere not capitalist then?

I know that and that's why I'm so sad about it. Some of my best friends are from Slovakia and they feel exactly like you - despair.

I'm so sad what happened to Slovakia. With Pellegrinis win it's now oficially run 100% by state mafia :-(

kurcatovium , 2 months ago to Asklemmy in Why do people say "Catholics and Christians" in (USA) when Catholics are also Christians, as if they refer to it as a different religion.

Isn't it like that 90% of christians are actually Roman Catholics there?

I bet you're Johny Sins level doctor! Which means expert obviously.

kurcatovium , 2 months ago to Asklemmy in Do you usually purchase digital or physical books? Why?

I'm old fashioned so all my books are physical for now. I used to hate on ereaders (first Kindle), but as I'm older, sight gets worse, readers get better (hopefully) and space is also an issue I'm already thinking of buying one. But which one? That is the question. I'd prefer something simple, without online nonsense, where I can put my files too (e.g. local library puts out PDFs of royalty-free classics for free).

kurcatovium , 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago) to Asklemmy in Are you registered to donate your organs? Why or why not?

Reminds me of this gem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp-pU8TFsg0

Back on topic. I believe this is opt-out in my country (if it didn't change recently), so unless you specifically state that you want all your organs inside to feed the worms or to get more ash for your urn, you're automatically possible donor.

EDIT: Just checked, it's still opt-out. It's opt-in only for minors and incapacitated - their parents/legal representative have to agree.

I would recommend browsing the interwebz. There are a lot of websites dedicated to boobs and other jiggly parts where you can study said constant pretty thoroughly.

It's the boob constant. The bigger the boobs are the more they stick out getting you better place in race...

kurcatovium , 3 months ago to Asklemmy in A new-ish, well-maintained vehicle with new tires, fresh oil change etc, if it's left dormant & undriven untouched in a residential driveway for 1 year, will it be driveable after 1 yr?

There are options to buy gas without ethanol in my country. It's expensive, but everyone owning some old school vehicle buys these exactly for long pauses without actually driving the car.
