I do recall google apparently stopped using raid in some data centres, but it was because they had whole-machine redundancy.

RAID is probably redundant for some of the uses it used to have, like optimising read performance by using many drives (SSD is fast) and honestly I suspect that SSDs are probably more reliable as they don't have a bunch of platters and bearings and screaming rotational speeds.

So if you needed it for a base level of reliability, an SSD on its own may have exceeded that.

I suspect there are still uses for drive redundancy in some high availability setups.. although your friend might be right. If the likelihood of drive failure is lower than other parts in the machine and you need high redundancy for availability it might make more sense to replicate the whole machine rather than the drives.

It's possible redundancy specifically for the drives was an artifact of unreliable drives back in the day ๐Ÿค” they might have a point! I think it's likely still useful at times though.

I'd rather hotswap a drive than set up a new server, even if it's a less likely scenario.

Snowden later made contact with Glenn Greenwald, a journalist working at The Guardian.[111] He contacted Greenwald anonymously as "Cincinnatus"[112][113] and said he had sensitive documents that he would like to share.[114] Greenwald found the measures that the source asked him to take to secure their communications, such as encrypting email, too annoying to employ. Snowden then contacted

what the fuck, Glenn.

if they knew it was legit why didn't they just say nothing? it's weird Putin is on record saying it won't happen, right before it happened. makes him look stupid.

tbh though I'd be surprised if they genuinely had no idea, how can their intelligence be so much worse in their own country?

Head to Bali, smoking cuban cigars, And we fuck up the party like acoustic guitars

"fuck up the party like acoustic guitars" always cracked me up so much.

it's more, we'll hold up a ceasefire by adding conditions for Israel while thousands of Palestinians are dying of hunger or simply shot. I think the hostages should be returned but that should simply be another negotiation.

Personally I think the hostage release and condemning the initial act are fine but both sides holding up a ceasefire based on those details is terrible. People are dying at a sickening rate.

Hitler didn't eradicate the Jewish people. Are you saying that means he wasn't actually trying?

apparently the issue is the US wants to add conditions for Hamas, releasing Israeli hostages and condemning Hamas.

I think that's gross but I think a ceasefire is more important
