https://lemmy.world/post/12995686 was a recent question and most of the answers will basically be duplicates of that.

One slight addition I want to add: "Docker" is just one implementation of "OCI containers". It's the one that broke through initially in the hype, but you can just as easily use any other (podman being a popular one) and basically all of the benefits that people ascribe to "docker" can be applied to.

So you might (as I do) have some dislike for docker (the product) and still enjoy running containers.

I personally prefer podman, due to its rootless mode being "more default" than in docker (rootless docker works, but it's basically an afterthought).

That being said: there's just so many tutorials, tools and other resources that assume docker by default that starting with docker is definitely the less cumbersome approach. It's not that podman is signficantly harder or has many big differences, but all the tutorials are basically written with docker as the first target in mind.

In my homelab the progression was docker -> rootless docker -> podman and the last step isn't fully done yet, so I'm currently running a mix of rootless docker and podman.

Somewhere a monkey paw finger curls and you're moved to the timeline where the world is in a nuclear winter ...

You've got a single, old HDD attached via USB. There's plenty of places that could be the bottleneck here, but that's among the first I'd check. Can you actually read from that HDD significantly faster than your network transfer speed? Check that locally first. No use in optimizing anything network-related when your underlying disk IO is slow.

In the immortal words of Jake the Dog:

Dude, suckin’ at something is the first step to being sorta good at something.

We are or were all noobs once. Going away from the keyboard is often an undervalued step in the solution-finding process. Kudos!

Given the very specific dependencies that Immich has wrt. the Postgres plugins it needs, I'm certain that it's not currently packaged as an RPM and I would even bet that it never will be (at least not as one of the officially supported packages put out by the developers).

Can confirm the statistics: I recently consolidated about a dozen old hard disks of various ages and quite a few of them had a couple of back blocks and 2 actually failed. One disk was especially noteworthy in that it was still fast, error-less and without complaints. That one was a Seagate ST3000DM001. A model so notoriously bad that it's got its own Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST3000DM001
Other "better" HDDs were entirely unresponsive.

Statistics only really matter if you have many, many samples. Most people (even enthusiasts with a homelab) won't be buying hundreds of HDDs in their life.

One approach would be to tell them.

Not everything that the GM says to the player necessarily needs to be character information.

Of course, you don't want to ruin their suspense by telling them too early or too directly, but something along the lines of "as you hear the sound of many footsteps closing in, you remember that you thought you heard a "click-thunk" back in the mansion, but brushed it off as your nerves back then ... maybe you did trigger that silent alarm after all."

Was about to post this, this works well for me.

In my case I'm storing the DB on my Google Drive for now, but Keepass2Android supports many different systems, including "generic" things like WebDAV, so really anything should work.

While Keepass2Android is integrated with the syncing and will always check for conflicts (i.e. check for latest version before saving), the same isn't necessarily true for the desktop client. But since I rarely edit from both devices at the same time, anything that syncs to the Desktop in a somewhat realtime fashion should work just fine.

And for the few (long ago) cases where updates were overwritten, the "previous version" feature of Google Drive was god-sent! (And KeepassX can simply merge the old overwritten version into the current one and you'll get the correct merge).

I think the difference is at what level:

• don't implement your own storage redundancy system at the kernel level with a small team in a closed-source fashion, because that's the kind of thing that needs many eyes, lots of experience and many millions of hours real-world usage to fully debug and make sure it work.
• do build your own system by combining pre-existing technologies that are built by experienced teams and tested/vetted by wide/popular usage.

I feel OPs critique has some truth to it. I personally would rather stay with raidz by zfs, exactly because of it's open nature (yes, they too have bugs, nothing is perfect).

I honestly have no real opinion on this (yet), as I don't know if that would help or not.

But 90% of all policy proposals from the UK end up being terrible ideas, so I'll just assume this is stupid.

I find that to be a tricky thought experiment.

Can you run a country in a way that peppers the general population with "all is well" propaganda thoroughly and still manages to capture all the necessary information to make properly informed decisions at some high level?

You'd need some "elite" layer of people who get to see unfiltered, honest information, but how would you even collect that information if even local, low-level government actors are subject to (and meant to believe) the propaganda?

Basically what I'm asking is: if I ignored moral concerns, is there a world where keeping the majority ignorant could actually lead to more efficiency than letting knowledge of the state of things spread?
