I’ll try spinning! that’s a good trick!

but it’s so attractive

Probably true for Pluto.

to the Great Attractor

Through a series of peculiar velocity tests, astrophysicists found that the Milky Way was moving in the direction of the constellation of Centaurus at about 600 km/s. [citation needed] Then, the discovery of cosmic microwave background (CMB) dipoles was used to reflect the motion of the Local Group of galaxies towards the Great Attractor.[8] The 1980s brought many discoveries about the Great Attractor, such as the fact that the Milky Way is not the only galaxy impacted. Approximately 400 elliptical galaxies are moving toward the Great Attractor beyond the Zone of Avoidance caused by the Milky Way galaxy light.

We’re actually traveling with a lot of friends through the immeasurable heavens.

Remember, RAID (or RAID-adjacent) is not a backup.

This. So much this. OP please listen to and understand this.

Even with full mirroring in RAID 1, it’s not a backup. Using the second drive as an independent backup would be so much better than RAID.

You SHOULD NOT do software RAID with hard drives in separate external USB enclosures.

There will be absolutely no practical benefit to this setup, and it will just create risk of transcription errors between the mirrored drives due to any kind of problems with the USB connections, plus traffic overhead as the drives constantly update their mirroring. You will kill your USB controller, and/or the IO boards in the enclosures. It will be needlessly slow and not very fault-tolerant.

If this hardware setup is really your best option, what you should do is use 1 of the drives as the active primary for the server, and push backups to the other drive (with a properly configured backup application, not RAID mirroring). That way each drive is fully independent from the other, and the backup drive is not dependent on anything else. This will give you the best possible redundancy with this hardware.

That’s worse.

The 7th person is delusional.

My love is a life taker…

On the other hand, it seems like the past year has provided a lot of new material to work with.

“I’m gonna make ya an offah ya can’t refuse”

Zeroth Robotics introduced the W1 at CES, a robot reminiscent of WALL-E.

The W1 is a programmable companion designed for families. According to the company’s website, for $4,999, the robot offers round-the-clock AI-powered security, 360-degree mobile surveillance, and integrates with smart home devices for instant smoke and intrusion alerts. It’s also marketed as an adventure companion that can transport camping gear, follow you around the campsite taking photos as a family photographer, and supply portable power so you can enjoy entertainment on the go.

We built a surveillance device that follows you around and uploads images, audio, video, and location data to our cloud servers, which we have absolutely made very secure! We care about your privacy, so your data will never be shared with anyone except our 372 advertising partners! Please bring it into your home today!

Eh, I’m not buying the complete doom’n’gloom perspective. Complex skilled labor is still very difficult to automate.

wait, is this not what everyone’s projects are like?

Yep, too real.

but where is the joke

the free market at work

the company will keep publishing security patches each month on a dedicated security-only branch for relevant OS releases just as it does today

Ok, so this is mostly going to affect new feature releases. It might not be a bad thing really, as it will be easier for downstream projects to keep up with a 6-month release cycle.

not after the cirrhosis sets in
