↳ In-reply-to » Wow, it's crazy how many people already delivered donations for our scout flea market today. Collecting and delivering officially starts tomorrow, today was just the setup. Covering the floor of the town's multipurpose hall, transporting and arranging beer tables and benches, setting up sign, that sort of thing.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org this almost made me choke:

But on the flipside, weā€™ve also been abused as dumpsters again. Some asshole brought us a deep fryer. With the oil still in it. Unfortunately, we discovered that too late.

↳ In-reply-to » I made some improvements to the Twtxt Search service tonight. Hopefully this update makes it a bit easier to use and resolves some of your critical pieces of feedback @lyse šŸ¤ž The main idea being that by default the search is basically a "Query String" type search, meaning that it does what you expect. If you search for a simple term, it'll do that, If you enclose your search term in "double quotes" it'll search for that phrase. If you then want to search against specific fields you can do so with mentions:prologic@twtxt.net for example. I hope this makes the useability much better šŸ‘Œ

@prologic@twtxt.net under maintenance now.

↳ In-reply-to » @prologic ZFS is fine but it's out-of-tree and extremely inflexible. If Btrfs RAID5/6 was reliable it would be fantastic. Add and remove drives at will, mix different sizes. I hear it's mostly okay as long as you mirror the metadata (RAID1), scrub frequently, and don't hammer it with too many random reads and writes. However, there are serious performance penalties when running scrubs on the full array and random reads and writes are the entire purpose of a filesystem.

@prologic Planning it ahead of time is all well and good if you have the money to buy 6 or 8 hard drives at once. I really donā€™t, and I want to mirror the whole thing offsite anyway. Mergerfs will let me do it now, and Iā€™ll buy a drive each for SnapRAID in short order.
