doesn’t ZFS have RAIDZ expansion now

He didn’t claim it didn’t.

“Even basic tasks like adding drives and changing pool size take a bit of tinkering.”

His claim is it is harder to do.

The incentive is the same as always: greater profits. The protections are to save EU workers from a race to the bottom against Chinese workers.

Because I converted some backend processing services from nodejs to rust,

You converted only the functions you needed and only included the functions you needed. You did not convert the entire node.js codebase and then include the entire library. That’s the problem I’m describing. A few years ago I toyed with javascript to make a LCARS style wall home automation panel. The overhead of what other people had published was absurd. I did what you did. I took out only the functions I needed, rewrote them, and reduced my program from gigabytes to megabytes even though it was still all Javascript.

This isn’t Reddit. You don’t need to talk in absolutes.

I haven’t posted anything on reddit in years. There is no need to start off a post with insults.

re: garbage collection

I wrote java back in 1997 and the programs used a few megabytes. Garbage collection doesn’t in itself require significantly more ram because it only delays the freeing of ram that would have been allocated using a non garbage collection language. Syntatic sugar like iterators does not in general save gigabytes of ram.

The OP isn’t talking about 500k apps now requiring 1MB. The article talks about former 85K apps now taking GB’s of ram.

Writing in Rust or “an efficient language” does nothing for ram bloat. The problem is using 3rd party libraries and frameworks. For example a JavaScript interpreter uses around 400k. The JavaScript problem is developers importing a 1GB library to compare a string.

You’d have the same bloat if you wrote in assembly.

I gave up on LTT after he attacked Gamers Nexus years ago. But his mockery of Musk in this video might get me to resub.

Why split physical and data link when they are so closely related?

100 mb Ethernet can be run over cat 5e, Cat 6, etc. You can even have Ethernet frames running over coax. (Not just the original standard which was coax but there are modern bridges for using cable TV coax in your house to reach rooms where you can’t pull cat5.)

Dahua must have improved their software. I was trying every brand of camera about 8 years ago when I setup my system. The first Dahua I bought required their ActiveX component for Internet Explorer to see the camera output from their web interface!

I agree that Dahua looked better but at the time their web interface was so bad I kept the Hikvisions.

Dahua and Hikvision have great cameras but of course you shouldn’t trust them. Block them at the firewall. I bought mine a few years ago and preferred Hikvision for its better built in webserver for initial configuration.

On the hosting side you run Frigate, Zoneminder or BlueIris (Windows) to control the cameras and record their streams.

If doing more makes it better then regular docker desktop does that too. Or apt-get.

I don’t use either but they aren’t the same thing to suggest one is a substitute for the other. Omv has self hosting services that it installs for you. Dokploy is docker manager.

As the article describes, it wasn’t so much that the vacuum sent the map because it didn’t have the local processing to work without it. The problem was that their servers sent a remote kill packet to his vacuum whenever he blocked it from sharing his data. So his vacuum would completely stop until he sent it back for service.

If there’s no voice channels, then why reinvent IRC?

I looked at the website and every link and have no idea what it does.

“Connect with your friends and community” was in a screenshot.

It depends on how old. My Xeons are e-2224G. They’re 14nm coffee lake. They are rated at 71Watts but as I said only use 15w streaming 4k.

They’re $190 on eBay with 16gb ram and 256 GB SSD.

A 16 GB Pi5 is $130 just for the motherboard. You still need storage, case and power supply.

I switched to ECC only for my home server over 10 years ago after a silent ram error corrupted some data on my raid drives. I didn’t realize there was a problem until I went to look at an old photo and it was corrupted.

“8 percent of the DIMMs saw correctable error per year”

And this was from 20 years ago when memory density was much less so the chance of an error was lower.

I swear I’ve seen articles about Toyota promising solid state batteries in 2 years over 5 years ago.

I got an old Lenovo P330 Xeon with 64 G of ECC ram. I recently checked its power usage for another poster asking the same thing. I was shocked to see it only use 15Watts while streaming 4k hevc.

For server use, ECC is important because it’s going to be on 24/7 for years at a time.
