Didn't Israel change the cease-fire agreement? They didn't want to go into the second phase, which was initially agreed and start withdrawing troops. They just wanted to extend the first phase and get all of their hostages. And the fact that Ben Gvir is joining the coalition is quite telling that this might have been the plan from the beginning.

This is simply heart wrenching.

Not the world, just the US.

And what makes you think, things will improve in a generation or two? I think the NVIDIA master plan is eventually for everyone to use GeForce now, AMD will probably offer some kind of alternative to that with physical cards, but most likely they will continue being overpriced.

They don't want to pollute their training data.

Use Mistral, support European AI.

Imagine how embarrassed future generations will be of us, allowing all of this to happen.

This is the wet dream of all fascist totalitarians, etc. Because uneducated people are easier to suppress and brainwash them. And they are more likely to vote for their policies. The future is very bleak with global warming, the rise of AI, the rise of the far right globally. We are leaving a really doomed place for our kids.

I bought it a couple of months ago and oh boy this game is amazing. The story is really well written. I am not much of a first person shooter guy but this game is definitely worth it. The story is great, the atmosphere is amazing, it is a really well made game and especially now with the overall international state of affairs and the rise of AI, its depressively dystopian story feels even more relatable and even the fighting is fun and versatile.

I have been protesting on the streets when I was disagreeing with my own government. I did my part. You can overthrow those fascists.

You know you can gather and start protesting, go on the street. Show your dissatisfaction with the current status quo.

Then perhaps do something about it.

 

I am building a Proxmox server running on an SFF PC. Right now I have:

  • 1 x 250 GB Kingston A400 Sata SSD
  • 1 x 512 Gb Samsung NVMe 970 Evo Plus
  • 1 x 512 Gb Kingston NVMe KC3000
  • 1 x 12 Tb Seagate Ironwolf Re-certified disk

I plan to install Proxmox on the 250Gb Kingston disk using ext4 and use it only for Proxmox and nothing else.

I am thinking of configuring ZFS mirrored raid on the two NVMe disks. Here one disk is on my mobo, and the other is connected to the PCIe slot with an adapter, as I have only one M2 slot on the mobo. I plan to use this zpool for VMs and containers.

Finally, the re-certified 12 Tb disk is currently going through a long smarctl test to confirm that it is usable and it is supposed to be used primarily for storing media and non-critical data and VM snapshots, which I don't care much about it. I will in parallel most likely adopt the critical data to a cloud location as an additional way to protect my most important data.

My question is should I be really concerned about the lack of DRAM in the Kingston A400 SSD and its relatively low TBW endurance (85 TB) in case I would run it only to boot Proxmox from it and I think the wear out of the drive would be negligible.

  • I have the option to exchange the Proxmox boot drive with a proper SSD, like a Samsung 870 Evo (SATA SSD, using MLC NAND and having DRAM cache). I would of course need to pay around 60% more but I am just thinking that this might be an overkill.
  • Do you think that using ZFS pool for the two NVMe drives will wear them out very quickly? I will have 3-4 VMs and a bunch of containers.
  • Is the use of a slow Proxmox boot drive (SATA SSD) going to slow down the VMs and containers as they will run on much quicker NVMe SSDs, or it won't matter?
  • Shall I format the Seagate HDD in xfs to speed up the transfer of large files or shall I stick to ext4?
  • What other tests shall I run to confirm that the HDD is indeed fine and I can use it?
