[09:15:02] Calypso damnit

[09:15:07] Calypso me ZFS wants a SLOG

[09:25:42] Calypso Yeah except my poweredge does support bifurcation. So I think I'll go for a cheap PLX8747 card to increase NVME density otherwise all my pcie will be occupied

[09:26:05] Calypso Optane seems like the bees knees of SLOG

[09:26:37] Calypso I'm finding that transmission is hammering my spinning disk Z2 too hard with writes

[09:35:34] Calypso Oh? Is there something better for SLOG?

[10:06:50] Calypso url, yea that is an interesting video. One thing I wasn't aware of was sync. So since transmission is a huge bottleneck, it actually makes sense to create a dataset just for torrent, with sync disabled

[10:07:05] Calypso so now I'm moving 2TB to a new dataset, lolz

[10:07:20] Calypso apparently I got lazy on setup and it never had a dataset to begin with

[10:08:02] Calypso at worst case, I lose power, lose some downloads, and I have to re-verify torrents and download the same pieces again. Seems acceptable

[10:39:41] Calypso url, thanks for input. Obvs I talk to AI but sometimes AI is stupid. Its nice to run it past a humod

[10:47:07] Calypso oh and it says everything so positively and with this long drawn out bullshit that amounts to noise that detracts from the question

[10:47:21] Calypso yet every fuckhead on linkedin seems to think its going to replace entire industries cause isn't it amazing

[10:47:53] Calypso I can't see the same vision. I can't see it replacing dick for the next 10 years

[10:48:25] Calypso thats one major component AI is missing - creativity

[10:48:40] Calypso if we replace industries with AI they will never ever grow

[10:50:05] Calypso so it also turns out I need to throw more RAM at my TrueNAS VM. Thankfully its just a proxmox vm with pci passthru to the sas controller :)

[10:50:10] Calypso the box already has the ram, I just need to reboot

[10:51:21] Calypso well im running 12x6tb sas drives in z2 over two vdevs - and yea like a dumbo i gave it 32gb ram

[10:51:26] Calypso 64 should be a nice bump

[10:51:58] Calypso thankfully I killed off a bunch of VM's because I consolidated them into a kube cluster, which is also just a set of VMs

[10:52:25] Calypso haha doh :(

[10:52:46] Calypso I think this upgrade though for truenas, next time ram drops in price, I'll buy another 256gb to bring it up to 512

[10:53:10] Calypso prob, but thats ok

[10:54:47] Calypso ya know it hasn't even jumped all that much

[10:55:06] Calypso its an older gen box is probably why

[10:55:09] Calypso 64GB DDR4 PC4-19200 LRDIMM

[10:55:40] Calypso when I bought it in 2023 it was $320 USD, today its $419 from the same supplier with the same part

[10:56:14] Calypso half tempting to buy since I'm sitting on 195GB used

[10:58:19] Calypso being a kit of 4, and also being a poweredge with 3 channels per chip (so 6 all up), I would get better performance out of a second kit

[11:00:21] Calypso T630 was a good box to buy. I was able to get one with the 18x 3.5" removable bays, which is a fuck load of spinning disk

[11:45:55] Calypso url, the price comparison I did was https://www.ebay.com/itm/224440203737

[11:46:44] Calypso they are good sticks too - been running them since may 2023 :)

[11:48:29] Calypso OH WAIT

[11:48:54] Calypso in 2023 I bought 4x that module at $320 USD for the whole order

[11:49:12] Calypso Today a single module is worth more

[11:49:30] Calypso it would be $419x4

[11:49:38] Calypso yea thats real horrible

[11:49:44] Calypso OK, I have enough RAM I've decided

[11:49:45] Calypso HAH

[11:49:51] Calypso sydney

[11:50:44] Calypso holy fuck in 2023 that ram was cheap

[11:52:02] Calypso man I should of bought more memory 6 months ago

[11:52:18] Calypso where abouts you located?

[11:54:27] Calypso well i guess we have another thing in common

[11:54:32] Calypso fucking houses are so fucking expensive also

[11:55:04] Calypso i work with uk guys

[11:55:35] Calypso sorta - you'd be insane to live in the city, I'm lucky cause I'm on the outskirts

[11:55:58] Calypso nice bushland nearby, nice community

[11:56:10] Calypso just takes 1.5hr to get to office

[11:56:37] Calypso yea I've been lucky on WFH, been doing that for a long time but now they want people to return to office

[11:56:52] Calypso plus a whole bunch of other shit so I'm looking for something better

[11:57:40] Calypso its insane what they pay on rent per year for the city office... you could buy a house with it

[11:59:13] Calypso this is true

[12:01:48] Calypso oh but in my company they want us all to be friends

[12:02:11] Calypso except it seems like white cunts like myself are the minority, and I'm not particularly interested in indian or nepalese culture

[12:02:21] Calypso infact I think they're racist assholes

[12:02:38] Calypso work wants us to be friends.... I don't want to be friends

[12:02:48] Calypso yes

[12:03:15] Calypso fuck man, they say they code, but they can't code for shit

[12:04:05] Calypso work is turning me into a racist because I'm so tired of their shit

[12:04:57] Calypso well I put on a convincing act

[12:05:06] Calypso you are right though, its not a good outcome

[12:06:16] Calypso yes and no - I think "diversity" is making white people like myself the victims of racism. That theres a whole movement of disinterest in our cultural values

[12:06:39] Calypso and when we are victims, its completely unrecognised, and you're a racist if you say anything

[12:07:13] Calypso i feel like im watching aus culture get eroded away by people who want to disregard it and replace it with their own cultures

[12:08:24] Calypso that kind of culture in the video, yes its exaggerated alot, but its the kind of culture that is dying

[12:09:43] Calypso big chunks of sydney its like walking into a foreign country, these days

[12:10:28] Calypso chatswood is asia, south west sydney is lebanon and turkey, burwood is india

[12:10:29] Calypso in those areas as a white aus you feel uncomfortable and like an outsider

[12:11:26] Calypso most the aussie culture has left sydney, its in outskirt suburbs like where I live - the places it does survive closer to the city, its entrenched with woke

[13:08:33] Calypso well then url

[13:08:46] Calypso setting sync=disabled for my transmission nfs share, its orders of magnitude better

[13:09:19] Calypso sounds very much like I need SLOG anyway, so I'll look into that

[13:23:19] Calypso either that or special vdev, since I have a very mixed workload
