Instead of deleting the ballast file you can just truncate it. That works on ZFS when you fill the pool and delete starts failing.

An ebook reader from Framework would be awesome....

I've been using OpenIndiana on my NAS for a very long time. Rock solid OS, zones are fun to use, boot environments are just so nice.... Some random tools are compatible and work, like rclone. Recently installed versitygw as an S3 to filesystem gateway and that works perfectly.

There were many portable CD players with enough buffering that they'd never skip. Panasonic Shockwave (IIRC) for example. And car heatunits.

You had to get a very old or seriously cheap portable player to get skipping.

Probably helps that the stance is likely "Hack this target or your family dies". That's always pretty uhhhh motivational.

Not quite so clean.

VE can be a cluster of nodes that you can still manage via the same UI. ESXi cant do that, ESXi UI is a single node, and not even everything that a single node can do with vCenter added.

Proxmox VE is both ESXi and some/most of vCenter.

Not really, those people go to a hospital where there is a duty of care. Hospitals don't get to just say "Nah, not gonna help you" and close the door for people showing up in the ED.

So those vaccine deniers get sick, lose their commitment, go to the ED, get some level of treatment/help/etc, and suck up resources and impact help for the guy who got vaccinated then got hit by someone running a red light....

Framework, the AMD versions.

Can take the 48GB SODIMMs that are on the market now. That'll handle a spreadsheet or two.

Yes, about $90USD per TB.

But I weigh that against data recovery from failed disks and the loss of the data I put in Glacier (family photos/etc). Then its dirt cheap.

Glacier Deep Archive is the cheapest cloud backup option at $1USD/month/TB.

Google Cloud Store Archive Tier is a tiny bit more.

VerneMQ also has built in clustering and message replication which would make this easy.
