Oh this is perfect, thanks so much! I’ve got one of the hard drives in use but I could definitely wipe the other one to make a proper copy with the zpool.

Thanks for giving me a fun little week task!

Haha, it was a year and a half ago, and it was a Canada Computers sale. Just checked and it doesn’t look like it’s TOO much more expensive yet, but who knows for how long.

That’s great, I’d love to not have to buy one of those machines, and I have been running my JF on a laptop just running Linux with a single one of the 16tb drives.

If the drives added to the pool need to be formatted, is there a possibility that it wipes the data on it? I’ll take a bit of time to read up on some of the options you mentioned.

Thanks for the help!

This feels like such a beginner question to be asking on Lemmy, let alone the tech community, but how does one go about setting up a RAID array to have my data mirrored? I only know the basics I remember about raid 1 and raid 0.

Is this RAID array something you can do without one of those “multi-hard drive units”? I have 2 16TB hard drives that I’d like to have one as a mirror copy of the first as a backup that updates at the same time but they feel too big to fit into one of those units. But maybe setting up a RAID array could be done programmatically.

I’d love and appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction!

Oh my god this is a real question and I’m getting old.

There was some word lately that Canada is going with a local “Cohear” or “Cohere” to create their sovereign cloud infrastructure. It’ll be interesting to see it go ahead, seems to be part of what the government is looking to help finance. Here’s hoping the government is smart enough to get a %age of the profits too and double dip on the economy boost.

So as someone who knows very little of these rock formations, is it due to them being where rivers once flowed and eroded the bottom parts while leaving the tops wider? Then when the rivers washed away, we were left with what we see?

you’ve clearly never had the sort of job she’s talking about.

I have. These people act like “sending a text outside of work hours to a boss” is such a heavy lift, while their time in the office is often spent just throwing wrenches into already working machinery.

What is a “new exciting service” that Walmart has provided? Nothing. All this woman does is spend time in meetings with other execs trying to figure out ways to increase their bottom line (read: bonuses) and pass the work of doing that off on people who then have to handle the weight of making these ideas of theirs a reality.

As others have said, the C-suite is the most replaceable use-case for AI. Just people that throw shit at the wall and see what sticks.

No guys you don’t get it.

She’ll love his money
