  • I’ve found that people who worry that they have bad handwriting typically have very good, legible handwriting. This is true with a lot of things actually. If you care about it, chances are you’re above average already. It’s only people who don’t care and thus you don’t hear from at all about it who are truly bad at something.


  • The part that no one ever talks about is that a well fitted high quality suit, which is the most ubiquitous professional/ business wear for a man, is just about as comfortable as pajamas. It’s like a secret that all men share and don’t talk about because if this fact came out widely enough the jig would be up and we might have to dress in something more punishing. Jeans are often more restrictive and uncomfortable than suit pants.







  • Get a cheap SSD for a boot drive. I think your only option given your constraints and your goal is use all three in a RAIDZ1. There’s no real problem with using different kinds of drives in one pool. With this setup though you’ll lose the use of 2TB of capacity on the 4TB drive. 2x2TB + 1x4TB won’t work because you’ll have no redundancy on the 4TB.

    Edit: just realized you meant the 4tb could be mirrored to the 2+2 configured as a striped array. I think that could work, just have to see what truenas supports setting up. That would still meet your criteria of being able to lose one of them. Perhaps the ease of rebuilding a mirror compared to a RAIDZ1 would somewhat cancel out the doubled risk of the 2+2 failing. You’d only have 50% capacity, which in terms of number of usable tb the same as the raidz1 I suggested above.

    I think personally I’d go RAIDZ1 as it seems more straight forward to set up but both of these options work.

    Oh God I try super hard not to do this at work with phrases like “it’s my understanding that” and “it appears that”. It’s such a cop out on something that I’m supposed to be authoritative about. It’s really tempting though.

    During the pandemic the grocery store was always sold out of bread flour and sometimes yeast, and the prices of tropical plants ballooned to 2-3x the usual price, with stores sometimes selling out of inventory as soon as they got it in. Some of this I’m sure can be attributed to supply chain issues but some of it was surely also due to consumer demand.

    As someone who made bread every week and took care of a lot of plants before the pandemic and is still doing so up to the present day, I’m quite glad everyone went back to “normal” so I don’t have to fucking compete with everyone to do these parts of my life.
