I wish I was.

The 1973 Nobel Peace Prize is often cited as one of, if not the most, controversial in the history of the award.[1][2][3] Two members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee resigned in protest, The New York Times referred to it as the “Nobel War Prize”, and Tom Lehrer stated that “political satire became obsolete”.

As long as you have the ram to run it, I find that ZFS covers most of my needs unless I am dealing with something that necessitates beegfs. My basement server has 12 drives in JBOD, tied together with ZFS, and it works fine.

Personally, I’d have some sort of enclosure that could also house a raspberry pi and similar, which mounts those disks in ZFS and shares them via NFS. That’d ensure compatibility with any OS, but it might be overkill.

Whenever I hear MacOS, just assume complete and utter incompetence on my part. I still don’t know how to right click to open a context menu.

But for a more general approach, how portable does it have to be, and how much storage would be ideal? A few TB, or are we talking about PB?

Large scale performance. My job involves obscene amounts of storage, and nothing beats a proper raid controller with cache vault. When clustering many storage nodes into one big filesystem, across several machines, any overhead is awful.

On a hobby-level I don’t mind software raid. I just don’t want to put it into production.

Oh, you specified mammals… I was about to reply “Fish probably do”. I guess whales? Or do they smell whaley?

On a more serious note, I’ve been extensively around female mammals, both human and bovine, and I’d say the smell is more of a meme than actual truth. Personally I’ve never smelled anything fishy. Or Whaley, for that matter.

But she’s being controlled by the globalist ****** (substitute that for any slur. My choice is “Svenskefaen”), trying to distract us from big farma putting nutrients in our food.

You’d think so, but three words: Henry Fucking Kissinger

I seem to be one of the last defenders of hardware RAID, and even I think a portable raid is the wrong approach here.

Which platform is he on? Is ZFS an option?

My knee-jerk reaction is to answer “Like shit”. Mostly stemming from the fact that I don’t have a proper workshop. However, what I do have:

• A “printer room” in the basement. When we were remodeling the bathroom upstairs, this ancient dungeonesque bathroom in the basement was used temporarily. It had a bathtub, a washing machine, and misc other things you’d associate with a bathroom. (Note: Not toilet. That’s a different room). When the upstairs bathroom was completed, the basement one was no longer needed. The bathtub ended up cut in half as I needed to test my new angle grinder, and other than that it was mostly left as is until I figured I could temporarily keep my printer there. Temporary became permanent, and the old unused washing machine is now a “printer pedestal”. One of the first things I printed was a cover for the drain, and then I put in a huge dehumidifier so that the room is nice and dry, despite its original function.
• A halway with a large storage furniture. Its height happened to be the perfect height for standing up kind of work, so I’ve annexed the top, which now holds a PSU, a soldering iron, a bunch of things I’m working on, and a 5x5 gridfinity storage shelf with drawers. A substantial amount of Digikeys overseas revenue is in that hallway.

Time to teach DNC a lesson! Again! Maybe the fascists will magic themselves away this time.

Don’t worry, Defeatterman will flip soon enough.

Whenever murky circumstances cause conspiracies, I like XKCDs approach.

What we see in that screenshot is an assassin hired by the elites, headed to make sure Epstein stays silent for good. With the cameras deactivated, it should’ve been a simple ordeal, but upon arrival it turned out he had already hung himself.

Haven’t had that problem myself. Sure, being in the IPv4 space of CNPC helps, but I’ve had no issues connecting to my home server VPN from a some residential IPs either.

You should be good. China doesn’t block ALL VPNs. Just typical consumer VPNs commonly used for climbing the great firewall of China.

Their blocks are aimed towards low hanging fruits. Blocking it all would be detrimental to industry.

And some of those that burn crosses, are the same that hold office.

From wikipedia:

Zack de la Rocha sometimes changed the lyrics in the second verse from “Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses” to “Some of those that burn crosses are the same that hold office” when playing live.

Yes I know my enemies; They’re the teachers who taught me to fight me. Compromise, Conformity, Assimilation, Submission, Ignorance, Hypocrisy, Brutality, The elite - All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams

For cases like this, having a server somewhere else and know-how of OpenVPN or wireguard comes in really handy.

You can, provided it’s a good source

I used them a lot in my previous job. From 2015 through 2019 I was a tech for maritime systems such as radios, radars, autopilot, etc. Most of our customers were commercial clients, and when something doesn’t work, knowing who to call saves a lot of time and money.

So whenever I left a ship after a completed technical visit, or commissioning a new bridge system, I left my card.
