  • There's also the phenomenon where you make a forum post and then immediately solve it after (or even before) you submit it. Although that is more because it forces you to think through the problem systematically.

  • once you know how to use linux, you can stop fixing everyone elses problems for them.

    I know you meant being able to claim "I don't use Windows" but just installing Linux has massively lowered the tech support requests I get from my parents.

    Tell me why I shouldn't use btrfs
  • Check status here. It looks like it may be a little better than the past, but I'm not sure I'd trust it.

    An alternative approach I use is mergerfs + snapraid + snapraid-btrfs. This isn't the best idea for a system drive, but if it's something like a NAS it works well and snapraid-btrfs doesn't have the write hole issues that normal snapraid does since it operates on r/o snapshots instead of raw data.

    Tell me why I shouldn't use btrfs
  • No reason not to. Old reputations die hard, but it's been many many years since I've had an issue.

    I like also that btrfs is a lot more flexible than ZFS which is pretty strict about the size and number of disks, whereas you can upgrade a btrfs array ad hoc.

    I'll add to avoid RAID5/6 as that is still not considered safe, but you mentioned RAID1 which has no issues.

    Hochul moves to revive Manhattan toll plan after Trump win

    I doubt she gained anything politically from delaying it in the first place. And if the Trump administration can genuinely stop this, they would have been better off implementing it as planned.
