  • For me only the case of inability to reassemble RAID array on different server (with different controller or even without it) for data recovery shouts a big “NO” to any RAID controller at home lab.

    While it is fun to have “industrial grade” thing, it isn’t fun to recover data from such arrays. Also, ZFS is a very good filesystem (imagine having 4.8 TB of data on 4 TB mirrored RAID. This is my case with zstd compression), but it isn’t playing well with RAID controllers. You’ll experience slowdowns and frequent data corruption.








  • As developers team lead I want to sign under every word.

    Except GTD. It isn’t working when you became manager, context switching between tasks is a real pain and I recommend to start using outliners with tasks functionality. Every note should be a big task (e.g. epic) with all timelines, links to followup notes and subtasks on it. Only in that case context switching will be a breeze - you just open a note or followup note (or email, whatever) and here you go, after 2 minutes you’re ready to rock!

    And don’t forget that new task will fly in every hour or another!

    Just try to use Joplin or Obsidian with tasks plugin for that.










  • I’m using nextcloud for files and photos/videos sync from mobile, Joplin for notes and tasks, baikal for calendar (with sharing with my wife which using iOS/macOS).

    There is nothing better than Nextcloud for files, I was trying to use syncthing and seafile - both sucks in one way or another.

    Also, I was using vikunja for tasks but it’s UI and UX… Well, strange and not eye-candy. I hope someday they’ll rewrite it.
