“Good’evening”

Sir, this is Lemmy. People treat the applications and hardware you use with ethical alignment and switching to FOSS literally has approval on the level of religious conversion.

It’s no wonder people around here care so much about random people’s opinions, the place practically filters for it.

Funny, I just watched an analysis video on this series.

You’re not wrong there, plenty of the choices seem like what a casual person who doesn’t even really seek out Sci Fi would think of as “genre defining.”

I mean really, arrival? It’s basically just Slaughterhouse 5’s Tralfamadorians but without the existential non-meaning attached. It wasn’t a bad movie, but it’s just another good enough film from the last decade.

Cats don’t carry it hereditarily, they have to be infected and it’s usually because they’re outdoor cats.

Blade Runner absolutely brought cyberpunk to the big screen, it was absolutely genre defining for a lot of people. Prior it was just Neuromancer that imagined it.

Plus they had “Metropolis” from 1927, did you read the whole list? Lol

It was essentially the Gatorade of the day, a roman soldier would have been giving him part of their rations, essentially.

Though idk where you’re getting the part about suffering more, you don’t die from dehydration during crucifixion, you die because you can’t breathe anymore.

The most precious little chin

See my problem is that even if it’s not sexual it’ll become sexual due to the large breasts on my face.

For me, as a user, that’s not my concern. For me, as a user, it’s more important that I can have my convenience

FTFY

Also, the only truly bad competition is subsidized competition. As long as it’s not surviving on some kind of grant or funding, instead of its actual market value, then it’s always a good thing as it keeps competitors on their toes.

Fanboys and monopolies, name a better combination.

Even if you actually believe the Bible he only said he wouldn’t flood the earth again, he never said he wouldn’t kill everyone again.

Plus most biblical literalists acknowledge climate change is happening, now. They’ve just shifted the goal posts to “but it’s because the end times so we can’t/shouldn’t do anything about it.”

That could be, I was trained in systems admin but work as a network engineer by profession. I’ve only set up one server in an enterprise environment and it was using RAID 6.

I’d assume you could read from both disks at the same time though.

Might as well, I think it’s how my instructor taught it when I was going through school.

If you have four drives you can do RAID 6 assuming your controller supports it.

RAID 0 just puts your data on multiple drives, giving you higher read/write speeds but with no built in redundancy.

RAID 1 is just a copy, you have your data duplicated so that if anything fails there’s an immediate copy. No increase in RW speeds.

RAID 5/6 use “parity data” which operates somewhat like RNA/DNA when going through mitosis. The four building blocks TCGA only connect with one of the other four in pairs of two, so even if you have half the data (RNA) you know what the other half is by logical extension. The difference is that 5 uses 3 drives at a time whereas 6 uses 4, you can only withstand the failure of one drive in RAID 5 but 6 can handle the loss of two.

RAID 10 (one-zero, not “ten”) does exactly what the name suggests, it combines the direct copy of RAID 1 with the striping of RAID 0 to give you double RW speeds with redundancy.

Each one will reduce your overall storage by a certain amount, either because of copying the data completely or taking up space for “parity data.” The only one that doesn’t do this is RAID 0 but you have absolutely no redundancy there and if You’re considering RAID for home use I’m going to assume that’s important to you.

ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL

SLS is made out of spare shuttle parts and has no reusability, it was also constructed in part by Boeing, known for being the worst of the govvie contractors at making a feasible product. They can’t even make a reliable military aircraft and I worked on theirs so I’ve seen their modern engineering in action. It’s a joke. They’re newest attempt at spacecraft have failed even more miserably than starship.

SpaceX doesn’t have the newer starship craft functional, but we’ve already used their falcon/dragon system to get off of using Russian spacecraft to visit the ISS and prior to crewed missions were sending them up all the time to restock.

The SLS is just a bigger and more wasteful version of Apollo, useful to get a group of people to the moon but without enough equipment to set up shop permanently. Not to mention the insane cost because you can’t reuse the spacecraft. US taxpayers have saved so much from not having to fund NASA building their own spacecraft and leaving them to what they do best. Scientific research and mission planning/execution. Everytime a falcon lands successfully the cost per launch goes down, you’ll see the same savings once the kinks get worked out with starship versus SLS’s up front cost of throwing the thing into the ocean everytime.

SpaceX is to NASA what Lockheed Martin is to the Air Force, a platform manufacturer. The Navy doesn’t build their own jets, they just put out the requirements and let the contractors do what they do best. This is the same concept here.
