I’m surprisingly level-headed for being a walking knot of anxiety.

Ask me anything.

I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

  • I always do some level of RAID. If for no other reason, I’m not out of commission if a disk fails. When you’re working with multi TB, restoring from a backup can take a while. If rapid recovery from a disk failure is not a high priority for you, then you could probably do without RAID.

    Either way, make sure you test your backups occasionally.

    Another way to put it: With RAID, a disk failure is like your Check Engine light coming on. You can still drive, but you should address the problem as soon as you can. Without RAID, it’s like your engine has seized up and you have to tow it for repair and are without your car until it’s fixed.


  • I’m so conflicted on this. I’m an adult, and I like things that taste good (including flavored vape juice) even if they’re not good for me. Again, I’m an adult capable of making my own choices. There are already controls in place to prevent youth from accessing them, and I wholly oppose banning them under the guise of “for the children”. So, I’m hoping SC strikes down the block.

    That said, this SC is a loose cannon, and if they do strike down the block, they’ll probably do it in the worst way possible and declare the whole FDA unconstitutional or something.
