  • Don’t bother with a hot spare. For household needs you’re just spending money to have a drive that will always be on. If you set up your notifications and your array right, you can have plenty of time to order a replacement.

    I went RAIDZ2 both times (dual disk redundancy, any two can die and its all good). Had a few spewing warnings over the years, and just replaced them.

    Anywho, my data array is about 10 years old but earlier this year I relocated to bigger disks and less disks. ZFS is worth it.










  • What I like about the deck is I bought it and I instantly already owned >1000 games for it where a good majority of those are playable out of the box.

    So ya, I ain’t paying $120 CAD per game. Fuck that.

    Also my controllers basically all work for it so I don’t need to buy these overpriced joycons again for a new system.

    Already have webcams if I cared for a silly camera that streams at 2FPS.

    It’s unfortunate that theres been a lot more attention for optimization from some developers for the switch 2 though, not much we can do about that. Some games I own the deck is screaming and barely handling it and apparently the switch 2 runs it no problem.
