MNByChoice, to selfhosted in Sanity check - is rsyncing to a remote computer that has zfs snapshotting an okay way to back things up?

Have you tried a restore? A non-differential smap snapshot should be fine, but differential snapshots would make a restore difficult to impossible.

A zfssend and zfsrestore with a differential snapshot would be more traditional. If one put mbuffer in the middle, it would even be fast.

Scientists curating religion? Grifter cults die, only vegan, wicca and Buddhism remains as religions, but everything is well-recorded and studied in its sunset.

Conjecture, or did this happen? If it happened, where and when?

MNByChoice, (edited ) to linux in Linux file transfer speed bottlenecks?

Looks like you have your answer, but there are a crazy number of possible issues.

The biggest cause is misreading the performance specs.

A partial list of other options:
Mechanical drives store data in rings. Outer rings have higher speeds than inner due to constant angular velocity.
Seeks cost a lot of throuput on mechanical drives.
Oversubscribed drive cables.
HBA issues.
PCIe data path conflicts
Slow RAM
RAM full or busy
Extra cpy within RAM
NUMA path issues (of drives are connected to different NUMA nodes. Not an issue on desktops.)
CPU too busy
Transfer software doing extra things
File system doing extra.
RAID doing extra.
NIC on a different NUMA node than HBA (can be good or bad).
NIC sharing the data path in a conflicting way.

There are others. Start with checking theoretical performance from data sheets.

Also, details matter, and I don’t have enough of them to guess.

What environmental disaster did am underwear company create? Was it bleech and dye related?

MNByChoice, to selfhosted in Suggestions for NAS (or other hardware) solution to home setup

Kinda related: what if I install something like Debian/Ubuntu on it? Can I still use the NAS hardware in the same way?

This question confuses me. Debian and Ubuntu can be setup to be NASes.

NAS is a description of a mid-level function that various software provide a part of.

Various file systems and volume managers can provide snapshots and rollbacks. To aid your research LVM, ZFS, and many others support snapshots.

There are various ways to then expose the formatted space to the network. To aid research NFS, SMB, and iSCSI are options.

Anyway, I hope this is helpful to someone.

Yeah!

www.britannica.com/…/Saturnalia-Roman-festival

The influence of the Saturnalia upon the celebrations of Christmas and the New Year has been direct. The fact that Christmas was celebrated on the birthday of the unconquered sun (dies solis invicti nati) gave the season a solar background, connected with the kalends of January (January 1, the Roman New Year) when houses were decorated with greenery and lights, and presents were given to children and the poor.

I will point out that paganism includes non-Christian Romans.

I am making this clarification due to the words that follow, which imply Romans are not Pagans.

pagan based rather than Roman

Saturnella. It was on the winter solstice, but the Romans later moved the calendar and didn’t change the date.

MNByChoice, to programmer_humor in ifn't

Cannot start a statement with else. One can with ifn’t. There is a new thing where we don’t branch (which is a separate discussion).

Or am I missing the joke…

In the USA, many or most speed cameras are owned and operated not by the local police or city, but by a private company that keeps some percent of the fines they give out.

They are contracted by the city, country, or other authority. They are not randomly placed or operated without permission.

Always seemed the best way to stop this was to make someone important’s data public.

MNByChoice, to linux in Desktop icons not loading

Have you recently fixed another issue? Perhaps run out of disk space during an update?

MNByChoice, to memes in Why would I need backlit keys anyway?

Lighting is also helpful in finding the keyboard.

MNByChoice, to asklemmy in Non-computer standing furniture

Do you have a tall table to aid with the eating while standing?

MNByChoice, to privacy in New Advertisement and Internet connection permissions for Simple SMS Messenger on Google Play Store...

Not really the focus here, but Google could really improve those listings by providing some guidance as to what permissions are actually required for certain tasks.

I am not certain I would know if am SMS program needs full Internet access or not.

(I get in this instance everything added is bad.)
