It might have just been CO2 accumulation they were worried about. CO2 is heavier than N2 so it pools at the bottom of places like that and you wouldn’t know until it was too late.

I remember a DiY post on the other site where someone buried a shipping container in their yard and was making it into an underground bunker.

Everyone freaked out about carbon monoxide poisoning and told them to never go down there even with fans running.

Oh, but didn’t you hear? Apparently the Democrats are just as bad.

But seriously, I haven’t been very happy with the Dems recently but most of my complaints are that they are not doing enough to stop the LITERAL FACISM that is the GOP right now.

I miss LAN parties, everyone coming over lugging their desktops and CRT monitors, having an 8-port 10gps Ethernet hub (not switch), staying up late playing 4v4 StarCraft maps and Diablo 2 games at max capacity.

Good times.

I think that it depends on the subject being argued about. It is ok to have “both sides have a point” when you are arguing about what OS your next computer will run, there are genuine advantages to each option.

But it is important to know when to draw the line. I do NOT agree that “both sides have a point” when it comes to human rights or any other actually important subject matter.

The thing everyone needs to know is that not all internet arguments are created equal and you have to know when to listen to both sides and when one side is just plane wrong.

I know this is serious and scary as fuck but I just want to make a Marty McFly joke.

I will say the small 10 screen AMC near me has nice seats. It has a bunch of small theaters that are pretty comfortable.

The giant AMC at the mall 30 minutes north of me has huge theaters full of crappy seats.

It depends on where you go.

I remember getting an oil change or something and the service advisor asking for me to give a review and “anything less than 10/10 is considered a failure” which really pissed me off. In my mind a 10 out of 10 is “above and beyond amazing” which is simply not something I can do for something like an oil change. I would say “I got out of there driving the same car I went in with in a reasonable amount of time” is the best I would expect and would rate it as 8//10.

It will take a long time and while it runs it will use a lot of resources so the server can be bogged down. It is also a dangerous time for a NAS, because if you have a drive down, and another drive dies, the whole pool can collapse. The process involves reading every bit on every drive, so it does put strain on everything.

Some people will go out of their way to buy drives from different manufacturing batches so if one batch has a problem, not all of their drives will fail.

The way striping works (at an eli5 level) is you have a bunch of drives and one is a check for everything else. So let’s say you have four 10tb drives. Three would be data and one would be the check, so you get 30tb of usable space.

In reality you don’t have a single drive working as a check, instead you spread the checks across all of the drives, if you map it out with “d” being data and “c” being check it looks like this: dddc ddcd dcdd cddd

This way each drive has the same number of checks on it, and also why we call it striping.

When you are running a server just to store files (a NAS) you generally set it up so multiple physical hard disks are joined together into an array so if one fails, none of the data is lost. You can replace a failed drive by taking it out and putting in a new working drive and then the system has to copy all of the data over from the other drives. This process can take many hours to run even with the 10-20 TB drive you get today, so doing the same thing with 140 TB drive would take days.
