Every single time I think of restructuring my homelab storage. What do you use for storage engines and how does it benefit you? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

All I know about ZFS is that there are weird patent or closed source encumbrances or something. I hear it’s good, and it seems popular, I just avoid proprietary Oracle products.

As for btrfs, the only thing that’s claimed to be unstable is raid 5 or 6. And people use it in production saying the claims are overblown. I don’t. I use it in raid1 mode. But raid1 in btrfs doesn’t require a bunch of matching drives. It lets you glom together a number of mismatched disks and just puts every block on more than one of them. So it’s a nice cross between a raid and LFS or JBOD.

Hypothetical-- you can only choose two cuisines to eat for the rest of your life. What might they be? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

In this house, we serve both kinds of cuisine: macaroni and cheese!

Any of you tried DBT before? What did you think? Any thoughts on possible "victim-blaming" with it? (Sorry, I ramble.) in c/mentalhealth@lemmy.world

My therapist has done CBT and DBT with me. She told me that because I’m neurodivergent, I might respond better to DBT. The two seem rather different.

Going by your other comments I would assume you and I share a heavily (over-?)developed sense of injustice. It’s a pretty common neurodivergent trait, which I don’t know whether it applies to you but [gestures around at Lemmy]

Surprisingly, I responded better to CBT than to DBT. I couldn’t begin to claim to know why but I felt like it was more direct with regard to what I personally felt I needed to work on. That’s not a broad dismissal of DBT, though. Different things work for different folks.

Next I’d be pretty happy if EDM could stop sounding like pop music too

I think you said pliers weren’t doing the job. Grab them with vice grips (locking pliers) and use the claw side of a hammer to pull them off like a nail.

What's your thoughts on this? in c/climate@slrpnk.net

Same thing as personal carbon footprints. A meaningless change being pushed on individuals when their total contribution to the problem is a mere rounding error on the amount contributed by the big corporations
