  • Just keep in mind that the rebuild time for RAID 6 grows with drive size. A 6TB drive takes 1.4 days to rebuild, an 8TB drive takes 1.8 days, and a 10TB drive takes 2.3 days. So when a drive fails you might have a lot of downtime.

    Here’s the calculator I used in case anyone asks or has a more accurate option to recommend: https://cal67.calculator.city/raid-rebuild-time-calculator.html

    Also, apparently this is a best case scenario. If you’re still having the server run you could see rebuild times up to 10x this.

    That being said, it you stagger your drive life (aka add or prematurely replace 1 drive per year) you can further minimize risk of 2-3 drives going down all at the same time, so a yearly rebuild in the background shouldn’t be too bad


  • Interesting tidbit from that article:

    California runs a top-two primary system that puts all candidates on the same ballot, regardless of party, and sends the two candidates who get the most voters onto the November general election.

    Leading California Democrats are worried that their party has so many candidates, they risk splitting the vote and sending Bianco and Steve Hilton, another top Republican, onto the general election. That would be a stunning outcome in the heavily Democratic state.

    Then implement ranked-choice ballots you stupid bastards












  • unoptimized code that does complex stuff.

    You can still have complex code that is optimized for performance. You can spend more resources to do more complex computations and still be optimized so long as you’re not wasting processing power on pointless stuff.

    For example, in some of my code I have to get a physics model within 0.001°. I don’t use that step size every loop, because that’d be stupid and wasteful. I start iterating with 1° until it overshoots the target, back off, reduce the step to 1/10, and loop through that logic until I get my result with the desired accuracy.








  • Keep in mind that OP’s project is already based on a different protocol than the Fediverse for their own reasons. Trying to create and maintain a bridge between different protocols might be more work than to just make modifications to posts in the current system.

    Other factors are end user experience and branding. Keep in mind that the average Facebook/NextDoor user isn’t tech-savvy, and could also be put off by the weird software names commonly found in the Fediverse

    It’s likely worthwhile for OP to look into flohmarkt, but integration might not be the optimal method
