  • solving the first problem is probably easier than explaining the complex physics to everyone with the current education system. A more inclusive government would also improve the education system and lead to better understanding, too.

  • tbf all the big storage clusters use either mirroring or erasure coding these days. For bulk storage, 4+2 or 8+2 erasure coding is pretty fast, but for databases you should always use mirroring to speed up small writes. but yeah for home use, just use LVM or zfs mirrors.

  • yeah i still use hard drives for storing movies, logs, and backups on my Nas cluster, but using it for nextcloud or remote game storage is too slow. I also live in an apartment and the scrubs are too loud. There's only a 5:1 price premium, so it's worth just going all flash unless you have like 30tb storage needs.

  • they make bulk storage ssds with QLC for enterprise use.

    The reason why they're not used for consumer use cases yet is because raw nand chips are still more expensive than hard drives. People dont want to pay $3k for a 50tb SSD if they can buy a $500 50tb hdd and they don't need the speed.

    For what it's worth, 8tb TLC pcie3 U.2 SSDs are only $400 used on ebay these days which is a pretty good option if you're trying to move away from noisy slow hdds. 4 of those in raid 5 plus a diy nas would get you 24tb of formatted super fast nextcloud/immich storage for ~$2k.

  • We were using this well into 2010 or so. Better audio quality than an FM tuner as long as the electromagnet wasn't overheating.

    The best option though was to get an inline FM injector and plug it in where the antenna plugged in. Perfect audio.

  • Check out NixOS. It can build qcow images from scratch for you to import into proxmox

    I have 8 bare-metal servers and I do everything automated with NixOS, I rarely ever access the servers directly.

    Here are the nixos configs for my DHCP server and kubernetes servers that you can use as a base.

    For what it's worth, Ive been using Ansible off and on at work for 8 years, and I think it's pretty outdated and clunky these days, there are much smarter ways to manage workloads such as kubernetes, cloud-init, terraform, and NixOS. If you don't want to get into Kubernetes then definitely learn NixOS.
