There it is. To binding arbitration. 100% chance of it not settling a damn thing

Good. Stay out of it.

Unraid checking in. 150TB ish. Dual parity for media files on XFS drives. Can lose 2 drives before array data is at risk, and even then if a drive fails, I’d only lose the data on that drive not the entire array.

Important data is on ab encrypted ZFS array which is snapshotted and replicated hourly to a separate backup server and replicated one more time weekly to 3.5” archive drives which are swapped out to a safe deposit box every few months.

I used to use rsync to do it but snapshot replication with sanoid/syncoid does the same thing in a tiny fraction of the time by just sending snapshot deltas rather than having to compare each file.

Conservative promises unrealistic and using bullying tactics? Who would have thought.

If the government tries ordering them back to work it’s gonna get worse real quick and I’ll be supporting workers rather than fat cat big business.

It’s a pity small business will get caught in the crossfire but this is a fight workers must win.

I want the NDP. I don’t want diet maga lite.

You can see how quickly their house of cards is collapsing down south. We need a smart woman to be in power here as well (of course that lets out the Alberta premiere).

Fortunately I’m an educated male who can think critically. Nobody I know who is well educated wants CPC in power. They have no plan, they just slam others when questioned.

As long as they meet or exceed safety regulations here and all customer data is stored in North America with any software updates being managed and delivered through a non-china entity then I’m fine with it.

Even better, all software should be required to be open source for security.

Do people just love them because of the low price though? If they cost the same as a Tesla would people still love them?

Only because they don’t pay enough. They need to make it far more expensive to hire TFWs than to hire Canadians at decent wages.

It’s interesting but to make my EDC it would need to be half the length. Id sacrifice the runtime for portability.

Idiots love voting for free stuff. Lying politicians love that. Promise them all, give nothing.

Still baffled how this guy keeps getting elected. Does buck a beer really resonate with anyone that has more than a high school education?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

Exactly. Not a single person has said “maybe they should work harder”. You know why? Because they already work really hard.

The conversation needs to be “if they’re really that important, they need to be compensated as being really that important.

 

No issues upgrading either my main server or my backup (both are supermicro platforms).

 

Just got the latest iOS 17.4 public beta from Apple, and it fixed the bug that prevented my 2020 MYP from sending text messages from the car's infotainment system.

Finally....

 

Canadian here. Most of our banking is electronic in Canada and I just don’t physical currency much. I mostly stuck with using paper currency in Japan this past summer.

I couldn’t find a quick and easy way to easily convert my coins back to paper yen before the flight home so used up some of my baggage weight allowance with a big sack of Japanese coins. Any tips?

I don’t mind paying a percentage to do it but don’t want to count myself. If there’s a shortage of coins in Japan right now it’s because all your yen are in my luggage.

Banks here used to have machines to do it with Canadian coins but with few people using coins now they all got removed.

Plan B was to pour my 2kg sack-o-yen into a temple donation box and reap the good Karma for years to come.

 

I’ve got my mirrors set to auto fold at home due to tight parking in the garage. Wish the screen could have an option to automatically switch to camera view when they fold.

Just wondering if anyone knows which SAS connectors on the SAS826A backplane control which ports?

On my current setup only ports 8-11 are working so got some troubleshooting ahead of me.

The online manuals show the connectors but unhelpfullyndont indicate which ports are being used for each.

Also, anyone know what the ribbon cable beside the SAS wires is used for on supermicro cables? I don’t recall seeing it on other SAS cables.

 

Just wondering what you do when the kids always want one parent over another?

Both of my kids are always about daddy (me). Even when mom spends time with them (2 and 5), they’re still asking about daddy all the time and it’s driving her crazy because they always want time with me rather than her.

I absolutely adore spending time with both of them. I’ll bathe them, put one of them to bed (mom gets the other one and we alternate), I help them get dressed in the morning, drive them to school and pick them up about half the time, change diapers and everything.

I’m very aware that you get 4 or 5 years with your kids then they’re not your little kids anymore and that part of all of your lives is gone forever.

Ok it’s a wish list but I’m trying to check all boxes.

  • slim design
  • card ejector mechanism
  • AirTag integrated without a massive unsightly bump
  • MagSafe connection to iPhone
  • brown or black leather (optional but preferred over metal)
  • price $120 max

I haven’t found any options yet which check all boxes.

 

Getting my kids (2 and 5) out the door in the morning can be a challenge (you know it) so I decided to try and take something mundane and make it special. The “bumpy shortcut”.

Really it’s just a back laneway to my youngest’s childcare and a slight detour for kindergarten drop off, each with a set of speed bumps. But it’s different and had a name they can latch onto.

And so…. Everyone has had breakfast and got their shoes on, so we have time for the bumpy shortcut today!

Or (looks like we’re not focused enough today to get out the door on time, guess we can’t take the bumpy shortcut).

When I do the “shortcut” I make a game out of who gets the big bumps at speed and who gets a “little bump”.

They both love it. Try and take something every day and make it special for them!

 

I have to work, but the family is going camping without me. Wife asks which flashlight she can borrow to take with her and the kids.

I’m rocked to the core. Visions of Obi Wan just casually handing Luke a lightsaber to swing around in his house.

My flashlights only range between “hotter and brighter than the sun” to “wouldn’t be out of place on a police helicopter”.

Nothing in this range is remotely qualified for use by wife and kids, much less dealing with the batteries that power them.

The only solution is buy more flashlights. Maybe something that also uses AA batteries (le barf).

 

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the aforementioned Hankook tires on their MYP (or in general for Hankook?).

Still have one more season or so left on my 2020 tires but want to be ready when the time comes.

 

So, inspired by Bluey, I started playing a new water-based game with my son and daughter, for the past few months, who absolutely love it.

Welcome to "Crocodile" (it's inspired by Australia, after all!)

  1. Dad is at one end of the water with one of the child's toys sitting next to him on the edge of tub or pool.
  2. Child magically turns dad into an animal (Crocodile was the first one), so dad magically turns into a very sleepy crocodile protecting his "treasure" with his eyes closed.
  3. Child has to sneak past to retrieve their toy from the crocodile, who sleeps rather restlessly, and occasionally flexes/snaps it's jaws (dads arms) as noise and ripples disturb it's otherwise tranquil slumber.

Of course I give them a few "scares", then let them grab the toy, to the tune of much giggling.

We've also done

  • jellyfish (fingers floating lazily on the water), no stinging, but these jellies tickle!
  • hippo (snoozing with mouth under water, breathing through nose blowing bubbles)
  • ducky (two fingers clicking together), not super scary.
  • and monkey (mostly just noise).

Anyway, as usual, thanks to Bluey for getting dad thinking outside the box to play with his kids even more.
