Was the prior drive set in some kind of raid set or just individuals, and what are the old drive capacity vs new?

I guess it depends a lot on what your doing with the server. If it's pure data store I would just boot off a USB and give yourself all the data space since it's quite likely all running in ram anyhow.

If you run apps out of it and need the M2 for swap and rapid cache storage the fastest would likely be make a 2 drive zpool, copy a single to it, and repeat as needed until you have it all copied over, then add the 3rd to the zpool

Well I see it I repos and app stores, not real sure of the development, last update on the Google store was Feb 2024. Still seems to work when I've played with it

I've been trying to get a good domain authed nix set up for a while. Alternately, if I could set up a gaming server using sunshine/moonlight.

Wikipedia though has a strong reputation for being well cited and due in large part to the huge user base glaring inaccuracies get corrected quickly. I saw a study at one point comparing them to a traditional encyclopedia and they had of course faster shifting errors, but on average where pretty on par for accuracy.

A federated system where I or any other knucklehead could put up an instance isn't going to have that 'checked by 1000 eyes' factor going so much, or if it did ever get to that point then they've likely become the defacto 'real' federated encyclopedia and the others inherently suspect.

All in all It's a neat idea, but sounds like it'd be rife with chaotic discord. As a general thing if something is on the standard Wikipedia I can be pretty sure it's reasonably accurate without having to research who posted it, and I can torrent a copy of the whole thing as I just recently found out.

Costco works well to replace Target so far.

My guess, around the time they buy up all the free floating stocks on the market.

Generally yeah, the same could be said for Lemmy and their communities. The challenge is when you have federated systems like this you have to largely take it as good faith that instance owners will keep reasonably updated software and good practices so you don't end up with a pile of spam edits.

With communal wiki type systems as a whole you end up with the question of credibility. Some people would cite only well researched and validated studies, and some people whole heatedly believe that a religious text was written by divine hand and this must be true. How do you reconcile those two without giving weight to things that are patently nonsense, aka you must teach the gospel of the flying spaghetti monster to be fair to all?

You think the other one on .ml is going to be friendly to anything American?

You can bet every little bounce up it does is from his buddies buying up the dip until he drops the whole deal to restore things to normal. Suddenly the rich own an even higher % than they did before in just a few week's time.

Yeah, that's the part that I was referencing to. If you have a topic called 'the sky is' on multiple instances, and they all say a different color, it rather defeats the purpose of an encyclopedia as some sort of source of truth if you have to pick which one is right.

That could be, I was thinking if the pages were more like the communities. I would have to think they need to be for any kind of moderation, otherwise who approves edits or has edit permissions? If someone else doesn't agree with the vision on the existing page/thread what stops someone from putting up an alternate version?
