  • Unpowered SSD endurance investigation finds severe data loss and performance issues

  • Oh I didn't know about the new requirements. Less backwards compatibility too. IBM 3592 looks better but costs even more. Tape drives can't be that much higher tech than HDDs, so if they cranked up the volume they could likely be way more affordable.

  • The upfront cost of tape is excessive though. It wasn't always like that. And LTO-9 missed its capacity target: it's 18TB (1.5x LTO-8) instead of 24TB as planned. Who knows what will happen later in the roadmap.

  • I'm still driving mine and would be very reluctant to swap it for a modern enshittified car. I sometimes think of homebrewing my next car (DIY EV conversion of an older ICE car) rather than put up with any manufacturer's offerings. Who knows.

  • I see, fair enough. Replication is never instantaneous, so do you have definite bounds on how much latency you'll accept? Do you really want independent git servers online? Most HA systems have a primary and a failover, so users only see one server. If you want to use Ceph, in practice all servers would be in the same DC. Is that ok?

    I think I'd look in one of the many git books out there to see what they say about replication schemes. This sounds like something that must have been done before.

  • Why do you want 5 git servers instead of, say, 2? Are you after something more than high availability? Are you trying to run something like GitHub where some repos might have stupendous concurrent read traffic? What about update traffic?

    What happens if the servers sometimes get out of sync for 0.5 sec or whatever, as long as each is in a consistent state at all times?

    Anyway my first idea isn't rsync, but rather, use update hooks to replicate pushes to the other servers, so the updates will still look atomic to clients. Alternatively, use a replicated file system under Ceph or the like, so you can quickly migrate failed servers. That's a standard cloud hosting setup.

    What real world workload do you have, that appeared suddenly enough that your devs couldn't stay in top of it, and you find yourself seeking advice from us relatively clueless dweebs on Lemmy? It's not a problem most git users deal with. Git is pretty fast and most users are ok with a single server and a backup.

  • I wonder if you could use HAProxy for that. It's usually used with web servers. This is a pretty surprising request though, since git is pretty fast. Do you have an actual real world workload that needs such a setup? Otherwise why not just have a normal setup with one server being mirrored, and a failover IP as lots of VPS hosts can supply?

    And, can you use round robin DNS instead of a load balancer?

  • What does this even mean? You want to replicate between git repositories? Can you do that with receive/update hooks on the servers?

  • Tesla Stock Price Reaches 'Death Cross' Status

    Jump

  • "...the dreaded “death cross,” a historical indicator of a likely downturn for the company.

    "Business Insider called out the event, which has been hitting the stock indexes of some major players over the last couple of weeks as tariff trouble has hit just about everyone. Tesla is just the latest to see the symbol of bearishness, which occurs when a company’s 50-day moving average crosses and drops below the 200-day average.x

  • I still have a made in Finland Nokia N9 that cost $200 around 15 years ago. Too bad it became unusable in the US with the shutdown of the 3G network, whenever that was.

  • 500 Euro for what amounts to a midrange phone still seems like yuppie consumerism to me. Better to get an older phone and hold onto it. My Moto G4 lasted 7 years before obsolescence and physical wear caught up with it. I wonder how many current Fairphones will still be in use in 2034.

  • Yeah a buddy of mine (not rich) has one and seems to like it. It's the big style not the Moto Razr style. It's like two normal sized smartphones folded together, so when you open it you get a big roughly square screen about 6 inches on a side. About 2x the area of a normal phone screen. It's a Samsung, idk what model or what it cost. It looks nice. No idea about fragility. If you have a question I can relay it to him.

  • You can get that much ram for 5k but maybe not in the densest modules. So you need a mobo with 2x as many socke5, raising costs again. I might look into it but I have trouble thinking of applications that can use so much ram. 256gb is quite easy to do and is also a lot.

  • Last I saw you had to use super premium ultra dense memory modules to get 1tb into a motherboard. Maybe that's less so now. But the hope would be to use commodity ram and CPUs etc. 10k for a 1tb system is pretty good. Last I looked it was a lot more.

  • There are few motherboards with enough dram channels to handle a TB of dram. That's basically why ram drives existed back in the day, and they are still potentially sort of relevant for the same reason. No a TB of ram wouldn't fit on an m.2 card, but a box of ram with a pcie connector is still an interesting idea. Optane also aimed for this, but it never got enough traction to be viable, so it was scrapped.
