Yeah, I was correct. He originally posted ā€œand imageā€, and I replied to that one. Then he edited the twt, changing it to ā€œan imageā€, and you replied.

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 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.

In-reply-to » @mckinley I am curious now, though. Doesn't Synology use RAID Btrfs? How in the world do they do it? Researching...

Ha! Found it:

Due to the Btrfs RAID issues, Synology chose Linux RAID. Based on the diagram below, Synology has implemented the layers in between the file systems and disks to ensure that Synology has full control to achieve the highest stability.
