    Question - ZFS and rsync
  • So next I'd be checking logs for sata errors, pcie errors and zfs kernel module errors. Anything that could shed light on what's happening. If the system is locking up could it be some other part of the server with a hardware error, bad ram, out of memory, bad or full boot disk, etc.

    Question - ZFS and rsync
  • The drives in the zpool, are they SMR drives? Slow write speed and disks dropping out are a symptom of I remember correctly

    Only half of required number of trainee secondary teachers in England recruited
  • It's not just the poor level of pay, it's also the crippling workload and lack of progression. Beyond a certain point your only way to progress up the pay scale is to move into the middle management of schools, which becomes less and less actual teaching, so to get slightly more reasonable pay you have to sacrifice the reason you got into teaching in the first place. For the teachers I know who've quit though, they could never be paid enough to get back into teaching, the workload and stress, the lack of backup with agressive pupils, hostile work environement generally (multiple people have said the kids are bad for bullying, but the staff are worse). We need to look at teaching in other countries and take note, because they way we've set it up isn't working.

    TIL that on Firefox you can unload tabs from memory without closing them
  • I find pinning my WhatsApp tab sorts that out, it seems to autoload pinned tabs into memory on launch.

    I'm the author of an April Fool's Internet Standard, AMA
  • It'd be fantastic to get some drink brewing hardware together that actually supports this standard, that'd be the real icing on the cake. Are you aware of any people putting something together?

    Ransomware criminals are dumping kids’ private files online after school hacks
  • Criminal does immoral thing, imagine that! The issue is that the data isn't being stored securely in the first place. If it's not encrypted the game is over as soon as they steal it the data. More needs to be done to ensure the safe storage of this highly sensitive information, and sorting as little of it as possible in as few places as possible. Schools are not equipped to handle this data themselves it needs to be entrusted to an entity (private/government/whomever) that has the time and expertise to keep it securely and properly manage secure access when needed.

    Hey selfhosted, any tips or tricks for running cat6 in your home?
  • Nah, thanks but I think I've got a handle on the options, my original reply was more a tongue-in-cheek "cries in brick wall" type thing. I mean it has its positives, I could hang a wall mounted rack anywhere without any prep or checking :)

    Hey selfhosted, any tips or tricks for running cat6 in your home?
  • Yeah ended up doing that in a couple of places, for me its not practical to have bundles of cable running from a central switch, because of having to run a cable through a hole in the wall, hiding it behind skirting boards (baseboards) and under floors (where there are crawl spaces). My work place is based in a really old building and theres just bundles of ethernet everywhere running across floors and loosely attached to walls etc, wish they spent the time, effort and money of equipment running fewer 10Gb runs to floors then having 10Gb to 1Gb switches for the workstations.

  • So... They're going to force reopen the subs before the API turn off and claim the protests had no effect?
