And you probably know that sync writes will shred NAND while async writes are not that bad.

This doesn't make sense. SSD controllers have been able to handle any write amplification under any load since SandForce 2.

Also most of the argument around speed doesn't make sense other than DC-grade SSDs being expected to be faster in sustained random loads. But we know how fast consumer SSDs are. We know their sequential and random performance, including sustained performance - under constant load. There are plenty benchmarks out there for most popular models. They'll be as fast as those benchmarks on average. If that's enough for the person's use case, it's enough. And they'll handle as many TB of writes as advertised and the amount of writes can be monitored through SMART.

And why would ZFS be any different than any other similar FS/storage system in regards to random writes? I'm not aware of ZFS generating more IO than needed. If that were the case, it would manifest in lower performance compared to other similar systems. When in fact ZFS is often faster. I think SSD performance characteristics are independent from ZFS.

Also OP is talking about HDDs, so not even sure where the ZFS on SSDs discussion is coming from.

Is this true? Can someone cross-check it?

Doesn't uBlock Origin already have a Manifest V3 version of the extension?

To add a concrete example to this, I worked at a bank during a migration from a VMware operated private cloud (own data center) to OpenStack. In several years, the OpenStack cloud got designed, operationalised, tested and ready for production. In the following years some workloads moved to OpenStack. Most didn't. 6 years after the beginning of the whole hullabaloo the bank cancelled the migration program and decided they'll keep the VMware infrastructure intact and upgrade it. They began phasing out OpenStack. If you're in North America, you know this bank. Broadcom can probably extract 1000% price increase and still run that DC in a decade.

Why would MS not use this opportunity to also hike the prices of their equivalent offerings? 1000% increase leaves a lot of room for an increase while still being cheaper.

I've seen the numbers and heard the commentary about it but I've tried to stay away from hearing/seeing actual individuals' words.

And then there's the toilet paper lint that sticks to various parts...

Good. It's not like the extra margin from eliminating this labor would be passed down to the rest of us. This way the money goes into labor and a significant chunk from this labor to the rest of us, through taxes and spending. Those jobs should be automated when no union labor wants to do them anymore.

Yes, it was a mistake to look. 😮‍💨

Looking at any interesting effects of propylene glycol in vaginal lubricants I stumbled upon this study. Then I found it isn't the only one pointing to hyperosmolal lubes causing damage to the epithelium either.

Ottawa quietly enacted its new Digital Services Tax last week, the same day Ontario Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy wrote to his federal counterpart asking Ottawa to pause its implementation.

Rental prices rose 0.9 per cent in May from the previous month. That brought the yearly pace of rent increases up to 8.9 per cent, with rent being the second-largest annual contributor to inflation.

Mortgage interest costs slowed very slightly to 0.8 per cent in May from April, and brought the annual pace of increases to 23.3 per cent.

 

Came upon this beautiful piece of corporate propaganda.
