Ok, but then I’m just gonna give your car a little kick so you know you’re hurting my ears.
Kidding, but yeah it can be really annoying, and also many drivers don’t blip their horn like you’re saying, and instead give a full honk. Anybody walking nearby gets an earache, and anybody living or shopping nearby has to deal with the noisy environment created. Probably better to just flash your highbeams or be more patient. The horn is not meant to police other drivers or signal noncritical information, you don’t see people honking every time someone is texting while driving, or driving with their lights off.
Real talk, don’t honk unless there is a danger of crashing.
Yes, the driver in front of you should not have their phone out. No, that does not give you the right to take your rage out on everyone in the surrounding neighborhood because you’re mad about having to wait 10 seconds to start driving again.
Don’t drive into a city and act like you have the right to be as loud as you want.
Yeah Stalwart seems to have a lot of momentum, I’ll probably be setting up a server with my kubernetes+ceph cluster this month.
tbf all the big storage clusters use either mirroring or erasure coding these days. For bulk storage, 4+2 or 8+2 erasure coding is pretty fast, but for databases you should always use mirroring to speed up small writes. but yeah for home use, just use LVM or zfs mirrors.
yeah i still use hard drives for storing movies, logs, and backups on my Nas cluster, but using it for nextcloud or remote game storage is too slow. I also live in an apartment and the scrubs are too loud. There’s only a 5:1 price premium, so it’s worth just going all flash unless you have like 30tb storage needs.
Eh hard drives are archival storage these days. They are DOG SLOW and loud. Any real time system like Nextcloud should probably be using ssds these days.
they make bulk storage ssds with QLC for enterprise use.
The reason why they’re not used for consumer use cases yet is because raw nand chips are still more expensive than hard drives. People dont want to pay $3k for a 50tb SSD if they can buy a $500 50tb hdd and they don’t need the speed.
For what it’s worth, 8tb TLC pcie3 U.2 SSDs are only $400 used on ebay these days which is a pretty good option if you’re trying to move away from noisy slow hdds. 4 of those in raid 5 plus a diy nas would get you 24tb of formatted super fast nextcloud/immich storage for ~$2k.
Raid 5 is becoming less viable due to the increasing rebuild times, necessitating raid 1 instead. But new drives have better iops too so maybe not as severe as predicted.
Check out NixOS. It can build qcow images from scratch for you to import into proxmox

I have 8 bare-metal servers and I do everything automated with NixOS, I rarely ever access the servers directly.
Here are the nixos configs for my DHCP server and kubernetes servers that you can use as a base.

For what it’s worth, Ive been using Ansible off and on at work for 8 years, and I think it’s pretty outdated and clunky these days, there are much smarter ways to manage workloads such as kubernetes, cloud-init, terraform, and NixOS. If you don’t want to get into Kubernetes then definitely learn NixOS.
I mean the Arch wiki mostly works on NixOS too. The problem with NixOS documentation is that there aren’t many examples for the Nix language itself.
Imagine putting out a new high bandwidth cable standard in 2025 based on copper.
The sooner display and networking move to SFP, the better.
Kubernetes is more stable than docker compose. Docker compose is fishing for containers after the ship capsized. Frustrating and nothing works out of the box.
I mean, Unraid makes it pretty easy to set it all up, no fussing around with the command line. It also has one of the best docker gui tools out there. I think it’s a lot nicer to use than Proxmox or TrueNAS.
Red Hat owns Fedora, just like how they owned CentOS. I think there’s a risk that Red Hat will make more anti user moves going forward, and I also think that it’s not worth spending time learning the “Red Hat ecosystem” now that CentOS is dead. Get away from Fedora.
Can we stop letting chatbots make economic and administrative decisions, thanks
