  • I switched to raid z2 from a 6 drive mirror and what an ordeal that was. It’s because I had to grow into it and buy drives over time but eventually the mirror was too inefficient.

    I moved data around like 5 times all because I still didn’t have enough disks to build my new array and keep my data on the system at the same time. And expanding raidz expands parity on all disks but not the data so you have to recopy all your data so it stripes fully.

    I had a backup on a DAS but USB is slow and I didn’t want to have it be the only copy.

    Edit: clarifying my point. I have no regrets. ZFS is awesome. But make the important decisions up front and yes start with the right amount of drives that you need. My whole issue was growing into it and having to make changes after the fact.










  • I think it kind of depends on your career up until that point. I have a lot of certifications and work experience. I list my past jobs, bullet point out my accomplishments. There is no about me section, or paragraphs. It’s bullet points and a section for clubs, volunteer work, certifications and school.

    If you have less experience then you may want to do schooling first, with projects and accomplishments, clubs, etc and then any work experience.

    The idea is be truthful, but not modest. This is what you are capable of, tell them. I completed project a for b reason by doing c things which resulted in d success. Define those variables over and over again.


  • They’ve been in the news daily with issues, Financial and otherwise. The sudden rush of people now just slows it all down.

    I am glad I signed up yeas ago though, it was a hopeful time when I assumed technology would help fix us, and give us answers, and help me know things no humans before us could know.

    Half the crap I downloaded from them is meaningless. Family tree is proprietary, and everything else is in formats I don’t know what to do with. Not like I’ll upload it again but it’s just files I have with no purpose now.
