- Comment on Can we estimate the size of the Internet ? If so, what size would it be (in GB, TB or whatever) ? 1 day ago:
Idk but I’m about to eclipse 200TB myself! 😅
- 6x 3TB in RAID10 = 18TB raw (9TB usable)
- 10x 8TB in RAID5E = 80TB raw (64TB usable)
- 8x 16TB in RAID5 = 128TB raw (112TB usable)
AKA 226TB raw or 185TB usable

- Comment on Over half of workers regularly skip lunch on the job due to high food costs, increasing job pressure 5 days ago:
I know you said restaurant, but a vast majority only get 30 minutes for lunch, and you can’t go eat in less than 45 minutes. Best you could do is call ahead to have an order ready or have it elected… But at that point delivery or fuel costs count towards meal spending, so bringing food from home would be cheaper, if you’re OK prepping ahead of time.
- Comment on Over half of workers regularly skip lunch on the job due to high food costs, increasing job pressure 5 days ago:
You’re not in the US then lol, because “fast food” that most people get is anything BUT healthy. I could pack a can of spam and it’d be healthier probably.
Though is your job has a cafeteria, it’s a large enough business that makes sense to do to keep people happy, and they could use fresh ingredients which then obviously is a healthy option. I worked at a place like that years ago. It was decent.
- Comment on Over half of workers regularly skip lunch on the job due to high food costs, increasing job pressure 5 days ago:
Packing a lunch still costs money, just not as much as eating out. Skipping a meal is free.
I get it, some days I’m too busy, others it slows down an hour or two before I leave so I hold out until home. Days I do eat lunch, if I go out, I don’t feel so guilty bc I’ve not ate out all week. Otherwise I often pack leftovers that don’t get eaten.

Or, bear with me, they’ve handled it enough and are familiar enough with it they know how to safely operate it.
Pointed away from any potential people, finger off the trigger (at least visible in the end), recoil was pretty well handled with a single hand, given that shot could’ve been a .357. I don’t know revolvers enough, and I can’t see the cylinder well enough either to tell the size or appx length of the round.

OK. I’m going to ELI5 this bit. Not being mean, sarcastic, or trying to talk down. I don’t know you’re knowledge level, so I apologize.
Imagine 2 different 1" pipes. One gets its dedicated supply running to your house, and the other gets divided among all the houses in a cul-de-sac.
Your house will have the best water pressure, unaffected by any neighbors, so your showers, laundry, etc, all runs perfectly fine.
Your neighbors, however, may or may not have adequate pressure, and depending on your many “devices” are relying on water, some get barely any flow at all. Devices that are furthest away get nothing.
So, theoretically, you get a pipe of water as do your neighbors, but the best time for your neighbors to use it is when there’s fewest utilizing. But you can’t really gauge when that is, so it’s often unreliable.
The more technical side is, wireless has the potential to go beyond 1Gbps which is great! However, many current WiFi 6, 6E, and 7 routers/APs still only utilize a 1Gb Ethernet port, so you’ll have a bottleneck regardless. Signal strength depends on obstructions, which could be walls, furniture, pipes, electrical, insulation, etc. 2 devices close by don’t get the same signal, SO many variables come into play that are resolved by dedicated connections like Ethernet. The more devices that share your 2.4GHz, 5GHz, & 6GHz the more shared the signal gets. A 2.4GHz has longer range but slower speeds and its often saturated by IOT devices. 5GHz & 6GHz devices benefit from better throughput, but suffer signal degradation easier.
I hope that helps. Happy to answer any other questions.

- Comment on If the legalization of drugs reduces crime, why can't the same be said about the legalization of guns? 6 days ago:
Sometimes. You should look up the stats on gun ownership to who has their conceal carry license ratio, and I think now 28 States offer constitutional carry too aka permitless carry.

- Comment on Tax billionaires, insure millions: The CA wealth tradeoff 1 week ago:
I think if CA implemented it, the hope would be other States follow suit. I think because billionaires spend their time moving between vacation homes and multiple properties, it may or may not even impact them much, if at all. The ones it does impact, they would probably have some verbiage written in there to sound good but not really have much of an actual effect. Remember, the billionaires are who donate big money to reelection campaigns, and Newsom probably lost his backbone at the right of losing his “power” and position. It’s theater, really…
So many policies already protect the billionaires class, their big businesses, and assets; and that’s by design. That’s why I (and so many others) argue there’s no “left vs right” (distraction) it’s truly class warfare.

Haha, I don’t give a shit about literature at all, jokes on you. It doesn’t pain me at all, because the sarcasm is lost on people like you, who take life far too seriously.

Dang! What knowledge do you hoard? I’d like to archive sites of actual science or discoveries before they’re disappeared, and other long-term humanity helpful stuff.
Raw storage capacity I’m over 200TB easily. Redundancy is closer to 150TB. Used is actually closer to 60TB. That’s a mix of all my DVDs, BDs, UHD BDs, TV series, personal photos, videos, documents, stuff for family (duplicates).

Get out some paper.
Draw a line right to left, then straight up, then diagonal from that top left to bottom right (triangle), then straight up, then close the box by going left, then give it a roof coming down to that top right (another triangle), finally go diagonally from the top right to bottom left.
Now you have the house (or barn) without lifting your pen.

How is the audio for this game? Do you have good speakers or headset? Preferably speakers… Seems very few have a home surround system anymore. That used to be what I looked forward to in any games, the realistic car sounds, especially. Other games, the true surround sound helps in FPS or other action games.

- Comment on Jeff Bezos claims AI could allow 3-day workweeks; man who won't give employees piss breaks claims many piss breaks on the horizon 1 week ago:
I have always said, since the dawn of modern computing, we’ve been becoming more efficient and require less hours. If anything, we could work 3x 6 hour days already even without AI.
It used to take days for insurance quotes, buying a car (financing), and many other technical tasks… Now, everything is so instant. But the workload keeps increasing to keep us poors busy.
Jeff Bezos saying this, is fucking dumb, because he’s just trying to sell us AI in the idea we’ll work less. BS. Even if we did work less, how does that make households survive on 1 income? So fucking full of shit, all billionaires. Detached from reality.

Oh, no, I didn’t read yet. I caught the headline before leaving for work 😅 and planned on reading, but hadn’t gotten around to it.
Well that’s a bummer though, I was really hoping for leverage to be had, not lost! I’m in tech, and while I’ve made some strides in job security and pay, if my company ever decides its “not worth it” I’m out (they’d let me go).

Agreed! If you can afford the nicer SAS MoBo or back planes, definitely will outlast consumer drives even though they’re used.
I’ve got 6x 3TB drives from 2014 still going in raid 10, 10x 8TB from 2019 in raid 5, and 8x 16TB drives in raid 5 from 2022 that I bought last year. So happy I spent the cash, though reluctant at the time, thrilled now!
