IIRC TrueNAS next release will include RaidZ1 with 2 disks

As for migration, you might be able to create a degraded pool initially, copy over the data, and add the parity disk last.

I actually asked in the TrueNAS forum about this idea. According to some knowledgeable users this might work. For anyone interested, details here. The next major release (planned for end of October), should make this easier.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think entities that deliberately spread and use malware should be punished and held accountable. Too bad these entities help write the laws.

Not participating in a disinformation war reminds me of the hesitation to allow Ukraine to strike Russian territory with the supplied weapons. What incentive does thr other side have to stop?

Repeat after me “Fines need to be tied to global revenue”. It has to hurt, if you want companies to stop.

I think it’s hilarious that western leaders are worried about provoking Russia by providing Ukraine with weaponry that can be used in Russian territory.

Russia is at war with us. It’s not tanks, fighter jets and battleships. It’s cyber warfare, disinfomation campaigns, bribing of right wing politicians and poisonings. Just because nobody wants to call it a war, doesn’t make it go away.

Discovery has always been a mixed bag for me.

I was fine with their changes to the Klingons, but disliked the emphasis of action.

I liked Pike and Spock (an Strange new Worlds), bit disliked the final battle with a million ships/drones.

I liked the jump into the future, but disliked the reason and resolution of the Burn.

I liked the threat of the DMA and its consequences, but the interpersonal relationships of the crew lost their appeal to me.

Season 5 was one of the weakest for me.

The Breen and the new XO two positives for me.

The crew, the Progenitor Tech and the search for it were all boring for me. Especially the established characters are more annoying than interesting to me.

Mol and L’ak ruined the season for me, more specifically Mol. A cross between a tantrum-having toddler and rebellious teenager, she added nothing to the plot. Her random connection to Book was blatantly manufactured and added nothing.

I actively had to stop myself from skipping scenes with her. I was close to just stop watching this season, since the rest wasn’t too compelling either. I really dislike when antagonist keep sticking around, because the heroes try saving them (from themselves). It’s okay to let a horrible person bleed to death, Michael.

I’m glad it’s over. It could have been better, but also worse. I think this season showed it was a good decision to end it now.

Discovery had its ups and downs for me over the seasons. The Progenitor tech. Breen. Both interesting. Moll and L’ak and the forced connection to Book ruin it for me. I get annoyed every time Moll opens her mouth.

I enjoy shows that add personal connections into their story, but Discovery is excessive and misses quite a lot.

More and more aspects of life require an app or at least a smartphone (QR codes). That already excludes older people from some aspects of daily life. Let’s do the same for kids!

Politicians should do their jobs and regulate tech and social media not ban useful devices.

HDR? Ah, you mean when videos keep flickering on Wayland!

I will switch when I need a new GPU.

When knowledge is deliberately gated by large entities and the author would give it away for free (scientific papers) is a no-brainer for me. Or when a course requires specific textbooks that costs hundreds of dollars.

How was there never a legal battle between KDE and Mortal Kombat?

Why companies aren’t fined for every customers data they didn’t secure properly is beyond me. This should cost them a specific sum per customer or part of their annual global revenue. Make it hurt.

Otherwise they have no reason to spend money to properly secure people’s data.

I know this.

(I’m actually watching TNG for the first time. I skipped a lot of episodes so far and just made it past this episode.)

I’m looking into Proton, Windscribe and AirVPN atm. Travelling the high seas is my main reason for a VPN. In the past I didn’t use it enough to switch from Mullvad, which I liked except for their port forwarding switch.

Thanks for the hint.

Yeah, I was getting desperate 😆

I’m enjoying Orchis right now. Kora Icons have been my fav for a while and haven’t been replaced yet.
