China is the same, but the western world is in a race to the bottom so at least we can wave to them as we pass them on the way down.

800 pounds for 64gb ddr5, what a time to be alive. Could get something a bit cheaper but it’s still crazy prices.

I don’t use it so I can’t recommend it, but if you’re interested in other options to research there’s a mergerfs+snapraid combo.

I currently pass through my disks to an unraid VM and then mount them through nfs which works (but from the sounds of it probably not a valid option for you, not would I recommend it), but I want to try replacing it with mergerfs at some point.

The thing that has mainly turned me off of zfs is (from what I understand) that you kinda need to plan how you’re going to expand when you set it up. Which really doesn’t work for me with a random collection of disks of varying sizes.

Another note for option 1, since proxmox 8.4 there is virtiofs which would allow you to mount a folder to a VM without having to go through nfs. You may have to mess with selinux in the VM depending on what you do in there, but just fyi it’s a thing.

Does it have reduplication enabled? Afaik that’s the functionality that the high memory footprint is usually quoted.

(Also, was that meant to be 170TB?)

Chat control is absolutely going to work with some time, they can just propose it every week. It can afford to fail 100 times, it only needs to pass once - it’s not like these people run out of money. Depressing

Thank you for the succinct answer!

Do these lawsuits backfire if the ones suing lose? Cuz this is very clearly not on valve to sort but the games. I’m guessing they are hoping to strike gold with 1 lawsuit as opposed to having to go after the game developers individually, who may just stop using their work in the future which valve can’t do… because they don’t use their work already.

But is it just a case you made lawsuit you lost, oh well some lawyer fees and it’s over? Or do they have to pay valve for wasting their time and their legal expenses too?

I agree with what you’re saying but to credit them, they’re offering to a bit beyond that.

Reduce strain on the grid. We’re investing in curtailment systems that cut our data centers’ power usage during periods of peak demand, as well as grid optimization tools, both of which help keep prices lower for ratepayers.

As much as I hate them, I think this decent from them - I only wish it was the government and the electricity providers which did this, but I bet if they were doing it, it’d be people’s power being turned off…

I can’t say I know the answer but a few ideas:

• did you access it with a browser? Maybe it snitches on you or some extension does?
• did you try to resolve it with a public DNS server at any point (are you sure nothing forwarded the request to one)?

You could try it again, create the domain in the config and then do absolutely nothing. Don’t try to confirm it works in any way. If you don’t see the same behaviour you can do one of the above and then the other and see when it kicks in. If it gets picked up without you doing anything…then pass!
