what’re everyone’s NAS recommendations these days? (or ideas for builds/build components)

looking for something that can do at least 5 bays, and ideally that can be set up to do iSCSI or whatever with decent perf

i'd just like to interject for a moment. what you are referring to as linux, is in fact, steam runtime/linux, or as i've recently taken to calling it, steam runtime plus linux. linux is not an operating system capable of playing video games unto itself, but another free componen—

I have had a bad day but now I am going to get a cheeseburger and a bad day that ends with getting a cheeseburger is not as bad as it could be

PSA: If your GitHub Actions just started breaking today, check that you aren't affected by this breaking change in the "upload-artifact" action. It took a lot of digging for me to realize that was the culprit; they decided to ship a change that excluded "hidden" files/dirs (anything starting with a dot, including our .vite asset manifest) as a security measure to avoid leaked credentials. People are pretty pissed about this, because it 100% should've been a 5.x semver release with a change that huge, and it broke a few hundred repos at least.

Anyway, the fix is to include, in your YML for that action, include-hidden-files: true

In light of the Internet Archive losing its appeal to hachette, I just wanted to point out some websites you should avoid:

* https://annas-archive.li/
* https://downmagaz.net/
* https://ebook-hunter.org/
* https://forcoder.net/
* https://freemagazines.top/
* https://liber3.eth.limo/

If you were to download books from these websites, you might cut into hachette's more than three billion dollars of annual revenue. So make sure to avoid those websites and the following:

* https://libgen.is/
* https://oceanofpdf.com/
* https://pdfroom.com/
* https://pdfstop.com/
* https://pdfdrive.to/
* https://pdfmagazines.club/
* https://sci-hub.se/
* https://singlelogin.re/
* ... or any of the other sites listed at https://rentry.co/megathread-books

In 99.9% of cases the fantasy of the engineers, sysadmins, SREs, etc getting up and leaving, or being axed, leading to the complete destruction of a corporation is just that: a fantasy.

What happens instead is things get very very painful, and corporations roll that pain to their individual employees and, if they have to, their customers. Reality doesn't stand in the way of managerial demands and there's an infinite supply of people who are in a position where they need to take even a painful job to keep food on the table.

You cycle through enough grist and burn enough people out and eventually the pain of a burning down infrastructure is bandaided enough to just be normal day to day operations pain again, and there's plenty of people jumping to show off how culture fit they are by throwing themselves on the altar of pager and overtime.

Perhaps if we could all as a unit say no, no one is gonna do the the shitty work of cleaning up after you exploded your team of talent by being capitalistic fucks; but in the position we're in now that's not likely.

This is where I start on my "We need a union" speech again.

But don't worry, the company that is unable to correctly implement a toggle switch assures us that they definitely implemented this new immensely complex piece of technology nobody asked for directly in the operating system in a way that is secure and under no circumstances puts anyone in danger in ways security researchers said it will.

The Internet Archive losing its appeal means one thing: pirate stuff. Pirate brazenly. There’s no point trying to do it the nice way - you’ll get shut down anyway. Copy, share, and archive to your heart’s content. It’s the only way we’re keeping digital media and our cultural memory intact.
