  • The store I work at mostly hires immigrants. While I would say that the language barrier is squing things a little, my coworkers generally have never handled technology before, even if they were previously in a role that had a high level of education.

    Take one of my coworkers for example. When she asked me what I was reading, my fumbled attempt to explain fanfiction might as well have been pure gibrish. She didn’t even have a concept of a book that isn’t educational, never mind not knowing the translation of “fiction”. After explaining the concept, she said “Oh, like the Bible?”

    I think I might have done a mental bluescreen at that one.

    Even just this last week, she seemed to be genuenly confuzed when I explained that I was writing a book. She kept asking “oh, are you in school then?” as if the only reason to ever write stuff was for school.

    Anyways, my point is; the average everyday person has likely never so much as owned a smartphone, never mind knows how to boot off a usb drive. It’s not just an immigrant thing either, my familly is almost utterly unable to have conversations with me because they don’t even recognize 3/4ths of the words I need to use to describe the concept I need to explain to explain why I was laughing at a meme.




  • Could you elaborate on why the read cache won’t work? I’m aware of the high RAM requirement, and plan to allocate 40GB to the L2ARC. Or is there some other bottleneck I’m not aware of?

    These things are expensive, so I’d appreciate any info.

    My thought process for the mirroring is that in the event the nvme fails, the pool will remain accessible, just extremely slow in comparison to previously, and it’ll be easier for me to replace than if I just made regular backups to the primary storage pool.










  • Personally? Onboarding.

    I’ve looked at the instructions on how to install peertube several times now, but its just not worth the hassle at this point. Until I can run it in just a single docker image, without an external database or email service required, then I’m not going to bother.

    Its really frustrating, because I really like the project, but I just don’t have the ability to use services like it without docker or podman.
