Oh yeah 💯

Hanlon’s razor in shambles

Speed reading error. Thanks!

I use Immich. It does what you described as well.

Oh totally, the snafu here was they were prepared to go to an indigenous protest. Instead they went to a Palestinian protest, while dressed in blue.

Entirely possible, but I’m not convinced yet. I’m still with Hanlon’s razor on this one.

Buddy just can’t connect the dots that minimum wage doesn’t cover housing anymore, that he’s been holding it down for years, that he weakened rent control that kept low income people housed, and that he’s been letting his buddies build just detached houses and luxury condos.

Wow , the owner was really lucky not getting under the car.

I’m not sure why every time I look at this project, it rubs me the wrong way. Anyone found anything wrong with it?

Corporations - which are already pretty damned conservative - will back the CPC with ten times the money if this happens. It would be lovely, but would guarantee a Poilievre win.

I doubt it’ll work. There are significant limits to political spending. Corpos can’t fund political campaigns directly and there isn’t an easy or unlimited way to do it indirectly. It’s gotta go via individuals and the limits there are small. The cons will get more but I don’t think it’ll be dramatically more.

That will prevent the CPC (or anyone else) from securing a majority in the next election, but I don’t think it’ll win the election for him.

Yes.

At the end of the day, I honestly don’t believe Trudeau can win another election under any reasonable circumstances. The best he can do is stack the deck in the party’s favour, and then step down.

In the current status quo probably true. Who knows what could happen with PP till the election. Perhaps something unreasonable would come out. 😅

The other parties can table this too can’t they?

I would take the delay along with the implementation of policies like pharmacare, and then have Poilinever having to either promise to not touch it or say he’ll cut it during the election campaign, thank you very much. There’s a lot that can happen till the next fall. Inflation is down, mortgages are falling, who knows what could come out about Pipsqueak till then.

There’s other options too. Among them: a massive swing away from corporate smell along with popular pro-labor rhetoric and actions; electoral reform without stepping down; Jagmeet introducing electoral reform in the current parliament, Trudeau supporting it, etc.

Aren’t the mandates driven by Ottawa downtown businesses complaints?

As far as I can tell it dates back to at least 2010 - https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/githb/index.html. See the Solaris version. You can try it with small test files in place of disks and see if it works. I haven’t done it expansion yet but that’s my plan for growing beyond the 48T of my current pool. I use ZFS on Linux btw. Works perfectly fine.

I think data checksums allow ZFS to tell which disk has the correct data when there’s a mismatch in a mirror, eliminating the need for 3-way mirror to deal with bit flips and such. A traditional mirror like mdraid would need 3 disks to do this.

Not that I want to push ZFS or anything, mdraid/LVM/XFS is a fine setup, but for informational purposes - ZFS can absolutely expand onto larger disks. I wasn’t aware of this until recently. If all the disks of an existing pool get replaced with larger disks, the pool can expand onto the newly available space. E.g. a RAIDz1 with 4x 4T disks will have usable space of 12T. Replace all disks with 8T disks (one after another so that it can be done on the fly) and your pool will have 24T of space. Replace those with 16T and you get 48T, and so on. In addition you can expand a pool by adding another redundant topology just like you can with LVM and mdraid. E.g. 4x 4T RAIDz1 + 3x 8T RAIDz2 + 2x 16T mirror for a total of 44T. Finally, expanding existing RAIDz with additional disks has recently landed too.

And now for pushing ZFS - I was doing file based replication on a large dataset for many years. Just going over all the hundreds of thousands of dirs and files took over an hour on my setup. That’s then followed by a diff transfer. Think rsync or Syncthing. That’s how I did it on my old mdraid/LVM/Ext4 setup, and that’s how I continued doing on my newer ZFS setup. Recently I tried using ZFS send/receive which operates within the filesystem. It completely eliminated the dataset file walk and stat phase since the filesystem already knows all of the metadata. The replication was reduced to just the diff file transfer time. What used to take over an hour got reduced to seconds or minutes, depending on the size of the changed data. I can now do multiple replications per hour without significant load on the system. Previously it was only feasible overnight because the system would be robbed of IOPS for over an hour.

If you can, move to a RAID-equivalent setup with ZFS (preferred in my opinion) in order to also know about and fix silent data corruption. RAIDz1, RAIDz2 would do the equivalent to RAID5, RAID6. That should eliminate one more variable with cheap drives.

Due to risk of failure or risk of data corruption because the mirror can’t tell which drive is right when there’s a difference?

Is this where the majority of hours are worked? Because the way I understand the scheme, it’s the facilities that have no other choice but to hire agency staff where the growth is. Like hospitals.
