I just had a provider issue take a server down after we swapped into production.my code was fine, still didn’t get to knock off on time.

huh I got a new layout today but it has AI features in the search? I don’t like it. I switched to signal and forced everyone but a stubborn few to follow.

fuck I hate the current government of Israel right now

as an Australian, fuck I am so grateful crazy people can’t get guns in this country. imagine what this guy could have done with an automatic weapon.

you’d think he’d be more worried about Russia hacking chunks off the side of Europe
3-2-1 is for backup, RAID is also for availability, eg your domain server not going down in case of drive failure. good point though.
yeah but if SSD failing is now less likely that other parts of the machine it might be better to focus on a redundant server to fail over to… it’s an interesting thought. RAID isn’t obsolete I don’t think but it’s an interesting question
I do recall google apparently stopped using raid in some data centres, but it was because they had whole-machine redundancy.
RAID is probably redundant for some of the uses it used to have, like optimising read performance by using many drives (SSD is fast) and honestly I suspect that SSDs are probably more reliable as they don’t have a bunch of platters and bearings and screaming rotational speeds.
So if you needed it for a base level of reliability, an SSD on its own may have exceeded that.
I suspect there are still uses for drive redundancy in some high availability setups… although your friend might be right. If the likelihood of drive failure is lower than other parts in the machine and you need high redundancy for availability it might make more sense to replicate the whole machine rather than the drives.
It’s possible redundancy specifically for the drives was an artifact of unreliable drives back in the day 🤔 they might have a point! I think it’s likely still useful at times though.
I’d rather hotswap a drive than set up a new server, even if it’s a less likely scenario.
huh I didn’t think the US could have even less credibility on war crimes

Head to Bali, smoking cuban cigars, And we fuck up the party like acoustic guitars
“fuck up the party like acoustic guitars” always cracked me up so much.
it’s a case where he knows a guy just like Ronald but he’s not naming him, so he’s just talking about “Ronald”
