RaidZ1 is not the same as a mirror. I’m not sure if you are allowed to have Z1 with only 2 disks, but if you are you still shouldn’t because while it scales down that far it still does parity calculations and writes that to the second disk instead of just writing a copy of the data (the parity calculations probably result in the same data, but I doubt this is optimized)

ZFS snapshots are easy to settup. If you don’t notice that you deleted all the snapshots for a month you never will.
you still should have offsite backups for a fire, but the notion that raid isn’t backup is not really correct since for most people the situations that raid with snapshots isn’t enough protection will never occure and to the risk is acceptable. Plus raid is a lot easier to get right. For that matter if you have a backup but don’t have the password after the fire you don’t have a backup.
though if you rely on raid alone I’d want 3 disk redundancy.

bluGill@fedia.iotoHome Improvement@lemmy.world•Electricians of Lemmy: Planning a kitchen re-wire. Sub-panel or direct run?
2·3 days agoConsistency. If you are going to run a subpanel to each room I’d like sub panels, but a mix is not what you want as then nobody is ever sure where to find things. The worst would be a subpanel but some circuits run back to the main anyway - lights is the likely area to see this as those are often shared between several rooms.
If you add a subpanel make sure you can get at it easially to add more in the future. You never know what else you might want in the future. That you think a 30 amp break in the main panel is enough implies that you have a gas stove/oven - you might want to switch to electric in then future for various reasons. Thus make sure there is space for 6 more circuits (2 for the cooktop, 2 for the oven, and 2 for things nobody has thought of today) For the same reason you should get at least 75 amps to that subpanel - even though you will likely only use 30 at max you want that extra space for the future. (I’d go 100 - it doesn’t cost that much more and you can upgrade the main panel in the future.
I don’t recall NEC saying anything about how much a subpanel needs to feed with, other than “enough”. I haven’t checked the latest though. Still 30 amps doesn’t seem enough for a kitchen even if allowed - some day you will throw a party and that won’t be enough for all the things pluged in. NEC requires 2 different 20 amp circuits for counter top use, 15 amps is not allowed, and if I were you I’d consider putting in 3 just to be sure. I’d say less than 50 amps isn’t enough for your current uses (and I’d go for 100 on the assumption that the main service gets upgraded some year)
Honestly though, most people don’t use subpanels for a kitchen. It doesn’t save money and most decorating plans cannot work around a subpanel - this ends up being the big killer.

3·4 days agoWe currently couldn’t detect life on earth from nearest star and it is unlikely we ever can build anything good enough to. Which means if we discover life we know they are plenty advanced as to make our efforts uneeded as they can tell us a better protocol. Not that we have the ftl needed to reach them anyway.
Everything starts with what my family needs/uses. Jellyfin for media. Grocy to track which kid has done their chores. Home assistant to make a nice dashboard in the kitchen to see the family calendar (still on google) and the chores. I’ve tried a few other things, but those are the ones important to me.
I only have leagally owned movies. I’m technically violating some law but since I can show the judge the originals and they are not available outside myhome they won’t dare go after me - a jury won’t convict and even if one would I’m a perfect ‘normal man’ who proved the law is unjust. I won’t be as well known as Rosa Parks in history but I’d be a perfect story to rally around to get the las changed and they won’t risk that
Again, I’m a clasical liberal. capitalism is a strawman so you can make arguements like the above. In some ways what I support looks like capitalism but only because and where it is a concequense of clasical liberalism.
note that I need to specify clasical liberal above. Modern liberals are different form us in many complev ways
That is why I object to capitalism - it is defined to be whatever socialists want to demean without reguard if that is even what is happening, if it is acceptable because of other benefits. It assumes capitalists are fine with corruption.
When in reality we are liberals who understand rule of law.
Communism did that when starting with fuedelism or other tyranical systems. when starting with clasical liberal societies it doesn’t improve much. There has never been a capitalist society so who knows how that would fare.
You have it backwards. liberalism came first and underlies capitalism.
the difierence is important because we e do capitalism because of liberalism - freedon - and not a devotion to capital.
You have the relation backward. Liberalism underlies capitalism.
The foundation of classical liberalism is “life liberty and property”. The ability to own land is a large part of that.
There is no capitalist society, but many of them are versions of classical liberal - while the two have much in common there is a major difference at the core.
I object to the term “capitalism”. The correct term is “classical liberal” (modern liberals are something else with very little in common). I boost capitalism because it is a result of freedom, and that also informs when I will limit my support for capitalism.
What is the point of resources except for humans?

The US promised to bring this to the UN security console and did. However Russia has veto rights on the UN security console and so this went nowhere.
