Well, Postel has been dead since 1998 and Mills since 2010, so I don’t think they’re included in people still in control. So they’ve got that going for them, which is nice, I guess.

Fun fact, per the executive order, the whole body isn’t being renamed the Gulf of America, only the “U.S. Continental Shelf area bounded on the northeast, north, and northwest by the States of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida and extending to the seaward boundary with Mexico and Cuba”. That is, less than the northern half, as indicated in this map: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:US_ECS_Regions_2023.png

I hope this is due to someone intentionally wording it to sound correct, but in reality being extra screwy so that they look like fools.

There is a business layer of middle-men who do not need to exist.

ICANN is in the business of running the Internet, not fielding tech support calls from Jones’ BBQ and Foot Massage. I’m fine with this layer of separation. Hell, if it was one massive company controlling all the domains worldwide, wouldn’t that monopoly be an order of magnitude worse?

You don’t have to! You can run a DNS server out of your house and host any and all domain names you can think of!

Of course, nobody but you will use it, but it’s the principle of the thing, right?

It is.

Of course there are alternatives if you give up using the host header, like routing by URL. But that’s difficult when the URL is encrypted, meaning SSL has to be terminated at the proxy.

That is the SMART data.

Usually parity drives are spun up. Hard to read or write the parity data if it’s not. I would make sure that otherwise it performs properly, and be ready to order a replacement if it doesn’t.

Or if you’re fine with non-factual answers. I’ve used chatgpt various times for different kinds of writing, and it’s great for that. It can give you ideas, it can rephrase, it can generate lists, it can help you find the word you’re trying to think of (usually).

But it’s not magic. It’s a text generator on steroids.

How close are the front doors? I live in a pretty dense city and I’ve never heard them go off like that.

Nobody cares, and this is not news or an article about technology. It doesn’t belong here.

Why can’t you automate it? If you have to, you can simulate a browser with Selenium or something

I find it a lot easier to write out the yaml and save it in a file than to run a command every time, and I hate yaml.

I have an 8" tablet that I like because it’s a lot more portable than a full laptop, and I can rotate it, and it’s got a larger screen than my phone. Just the other day I was using it to study for a class I’m taking, and it worked wonderfully for that. And I’m sure artists love them for digital art work, especially with larger screens.

I’ve used 2-in-1 laptops, and I wasn’t a fan because they’re awkward due to the weight, and sometimes they don’t shut off all the buttons on the keyboard part. And you can’t always take off the keyboard to mitigate those issues.

I think the best option for distributed storage is ceph.

I’m surprised! Seems like it should be more, but I haven’t done any wattage calculations in a while, so maybe power efficiency really has gotten that much better.

Do you know if the drives were spun up or down at the time? I know idle vs. active makes a difference, but if they were spun down entirely, that’s kind of cheating.

Proxmox supports ceph natively, and you can mount it from a workstation too, I think. I assume it operates in a shared mode, unlike iscsi.

If the apps are running on a VM in proxmox, then the underlying storage doesn’t matter to them.

NFS is probably the most mature option, but I don’t know if proxmox officially supports it.

What are you hosting the storage on? Are you providing this storage to apps, containers, VMs, proxmox, your desktop/laptop/phone?

Because you want a device that’s a tablet first.
