Bread,

Yeah, I think I would probably hate myself and Christmas after that as well. A dark reminder where the nightmares come earlier every year as stores and the media start celebrating earlier and earlier.

Anon needs to find a new holiday to get excited about with him, because this one ain’t it, chief.

Bread,

It is believed that people can have visions or hallucinations that will match whatever they believe in when they are dying. For some it is Jesus, for others it is nothing or memories. It is interesting to think about that when dying or being close to it, your brain will just make up whatever makes it feels the most reassured. The real question is why?

Bread,

If only we could test this scientifically, but silly things like ethics keep getting in the way.

Bread,

Well it is not necessarily always a positive experience. There have been instances where it scared them so bad that they changed they way they lived. Like they believe they had been sent to hell.

Bread,

If you are using android, connect for lemmy can block instances. It is much more peaceful. It even blocks the comments from the users. Although you can have them show as you come across them if you so choose.

Bread,

If it looks like a duck, walks like duck, and quacks like a duck. They might just be a UI designer.

What would the average skin tone and facial features look like after 300 years?

What would the average skin tone and facial features look like after 300 years if every partner relationship was interracial until there were no other ethnicities? Just a hodgepodge of DNA. What would the average human look like having a little bit of everything in them?...

Bread,

Well you do raise a very good point. But what about wood would wheat ash?

Bread, (edited )

Even so given the appropriate amount of time, where do you think we might end up?

Bread,

Of course, how could I not think of that?

Bread,

I was betting a lightish brown skin tone with Asian feature set. However, I believe you might be closer to what it might be.

Bread,

If we can look like shrek, a not insignificant portion of the population would do so. I mean, who wouldn’t want to look like the ideal body type?

Bread,

Do we have any current examples of a human with more than 4 or so distinct racial backgrounds? Like white and black grandparents with a mixed child with another Asian and middle eastern grandparents also having a mixed child. Then those children having a kid of their own.

Bread,

The only reason I refer to it that way is because it is easily understood and is how a lot of paperwork refers to it. In my opinion, it makes it sound like we we are a completely different alien species.

Bread,

Fair enough, measured at 25 and with a healthy nutrition and they do see the sun regularly. That answers the skin tone, but what about facial features? When it is all said and done, what features might take over? Like eye, nose, and mouth shape.

Bread, (edited )

Corrected to ethnicities. However it still is used in words like interracial. So it isn’t completely out of our lexicon.

Bread,

Same here I only do mild stuff like look at computer parts, servers and burglar tools. Damn nosy bastards.

Bread,

Can’t say I have ever been lied to by a dog.

Bread,

I have never been more uncomfortable having this username. This is not the place for me to be.

Bread,

Please no! I have crumbs at home I have to think about!

Bread,

The rules state you die tomorrow, not anytime before that. So effectively you are immortal for 24 hours.

Is Lemmy a biased platform?

Hi new user here. I’ve been checking out Lemmy but the amount of bias is ruining it for me. For example the front page right now has 7 out of 20 submissions that contain the word Trump in a negative context. I don’t care about Trump but when the front page is all political posts attacking Trump I have to wonder about the...

Bread,

You will never be able to stop people having biases, I think we have learned that thus far. It is really hard to prevent no matter where you go. What Lemmy allows the individual to do is remove those constantly negative hate groups from being visible for them. Lemmy gives us options, you can block users, communities, and instances. Well that’s great and all, but maybe you still want to see political content, just not negative stuff constantly.

Part of being federated is that we can have multiple politics communities of the same name on many different instances. If you have a power mod suppressing one community, you can go to another or create your own under your rules that you see fit. Some moderators and user dynamics do a really good job at removing biases as best they can for the sake of good journalism.

It is no easy feat to accomplish that, but Lemmy (and the fediverse in general) makes it possible to accomplish. You can’t say that for many other social networks.

Is it me, or the hive mind mentality has come over here as well?

I’ve posted some controversial stuff, and I understand why I would be getting down voted for that. But I see some of my posts and comments are in the negatives for seemingly no reason at all? I don’t really care about the karma because I can’t see it anyway, but I’m worried that comments and posts here are gonna get...

Bread,

Yes fascism is bad, but you don’t change minds and have productive conversation with aggressive language.

Bread,

I mean… I am open to trying new things and I hate being wasteful.

Bread,

I don’t know man, every new blender user needs to make the doughnut. I suggest every piece knocked back one square by a doughnut hail storm.

Bread,

Unconditional surrender was not assured the first time. It was the second time. The Japanese do not give up easily.

Bread,

I had forgotten the context of this post and your comment made me very uncomfortable.

Bread,

That isn’t any more reassuring.

  1. If they are saying there is a 4tb limit, that might have something to do with sas backplane of the ds4246. If it is older, then this might be a real concern that requires you to buy a new backplane.
  2. Good ole’ fashioned redundancy. You probably don’t need it for what you are doing. You would need an hba card that supports that connector.
  3. The right hba and cables depends on what you are trying to connect your drives to. Whether it be directly to the drives, to a backplane with individual drive connectors, or to a backplane with one or two cables. How you decide you want to approach it depends entirely on what you want and how much you want to spend. I couldn’t tell you about what is in the ds4246.

You have a problem though, that second slot is only a pcie x4, so you can get a maximum of 8 additional drives without losing any speed. You can get a card that goes over that limit, but then you are limited by bandwidth. To get more drives at full speed, you will need to remove the gpu or use the 1x slot for another drive or two.

If you want my personal recommendation, unless you already have a server rack or plan to need one for other servers, just get a large pc case like the fractal define 7 xl, upgrade your power supply, and buy an hba card and cables that allow you to connect to as many drives as you need individually. Why would I recommend this? Because enterprise servers like the ds4246 are loud as fuck. You don’t really realize how much sound matters until you live with a jet engine. That and because adding a jbod is adding more complexity than you need for your build. More parts to fail. You could probably get your required parts off ebay for cheaper if you’d like.

There is also the question of whether or not your board supports hba cards at all, so keep that in mind for your research.

If you need more drives than that eventually, you are going to need to upgrade to a motherboard that supports your needs. At that point would it be worth looking into a rack mount for more than the 18 drives the fractal case can handle.

If you want more information, I need to know if you plan to use my idea or not. As of right now, you can’t properly use the ds4246 chassis without removing the gpu and using that pcie slot. Or use a card that allows you to but limits your total performance.

If you don’t mind me asking, what is the main purpose of this server? If you need the gpu, I assume you are using it for plex or something.

Bread, (edited )

As for why you would want an hba in a non standard server is because of reliability. Sure you could get something cheap but you are gambling with ease of use, bandwidth, stability, and most importantly peace of mind. They may cost more, but I personally think it is worth it. If you are running server software, it may or may not play well with the cheap one.

While I don’t have a specific recommendation for the psu, you would want something modular and a high efficiency rating. This server will run 24/7.

If you do want to go the jbod route, make sure you get an external hba so you can route from your current server to the jbod. I believe you can do a fan swap potentially, I am sure someone has done it before. Personally for me, I said fuck it and built a server with a storinator q30 chassis that has reduced noise. Certainly not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

It also really depends on how seriously you want to take your data hoarding. If you aren’t concerned about drive bandwidth because you aren’t running all the drives at once or if you don’t really care about uptime stability, then it can be done cheap-ishly. Good data protection and redundancy adds up quick though, so keep in mind what data is invaluable and what isn’t. Backups are mandatory.

If you are running a server os like Truenas or unraid with ZFS, you cannot use a usb connection for the drives. For two reasons, ZFS doesn’t like it and will behave erratically but also because the connection can be spotty and drop out. Ubuntu server might be able to be fine with it, but if you ever switch to a data safety focused file system like zfs, you are asking for trouble down the line. I am not sure how btrfs will behave. ZFS doesn’t allow for single drive additions at a time, so you would have to buy multiple at a time.

Unfortunately, this hobby is expensive to do well. What you cheap out on now could bite you in the ass later if you decide to do far more than what you originally intended. However, you know your needs better than I. My media library grew far more than expected and I host for a large group of family members.

Bread,

You could come to Ohio, things happen here, I promise!

Bread,

Maybe try lower Illinois then. I can’t think of anything noteworthy that happens there. Lot of open space.

Bread,

Hmm, what about Vermont? I have heard nothing bad about Vermont.

Bread,

My favorite part was the doom crossing: eternal horizons video.

Bread,

Don’t forget My Little Porno.

Bread,

I agree. Love ZFS for the NAS, but for a single drive desktop system, it is almost pointless and in my experience slower for desktop usage. ZFS is great for what it was designed for.

Bread,

Did you look again? That French flag was a setup for a guillotine of spez. Granted it didn’t need to be that big, but they had a goal and they sure did execute it.

Bread,

Baker is two letters away from Hacker. You’re a tech bro/brodette in spirit.

Bread,

We have corn, hell signs, and skyline chili, there is a lot going on here.

Bread,

Yes, and it isn’t bad actually. Just overpriced.

Bread,

The cruel temperatures aside, can we not talk about the idea of children’s prisons? It just feels wrong. They are kids. likely older kids, but still just fucking kids.

Bread,

Having accidentally gotten salt in my eyes before. Can confirm it hurts like a motherfucker.

Bread,

Is it really so crazy to think that it might have always existed? I mean, it is very bold of us to assume that it is not possible to not have a starting point when there is so much we just don’t know. We barely understand the physics of our universe when things start to get wonky.

Bread,

It is a bummer to think that we likely will never figure out for sure what happened before the big bang.

Bread,

Checking in, have you died from heat stroke yet?

Bread,

Was PayPal the only option to buy it?

Bread,

Something else to think about, safes can get a little humid on the inside. Having something to collect moisture would be a great idea. Don’t need rust on your spinning rust.

Bread,

Nas, Media server, device auto backups to nas, game server, chatgpt instance, Lemmy instance, a website, wiki, nextcloud, pihole, or home assistant.

If you intend to collect/store data or make more servers, a nas would probably be a good idea to have.
