Ah thanks, just looked through my notes and it was the single copy bitrot detection but inability to repair that I had been thinking of all this time,...

[polarathene]

Ah ok, the checksums allow for identifying which metadata is valid for repair. While nocow data has no checksums, does it's related metadata still use...

[polarathene]

RAID1 at least for HDDS iirc is used for metadata, but that's unwise for SSDs. So these new RAID1 versions I guess for HDDs could also allocate extra...

[polarathene]

Oh, cool tool, thanks for that link

So 1TB in that case, and if the initial disk setup was only 2x 1TB and 1x 500GB, then the two 1TB...

[polarathene]

It should be fine with the 4 device setup and RAID1C3 (2x 1TB, 2x 500GB), as 3 copies across N devices is possible for the 1TB storage made available....

[polarathene]

How does the feature work with with differing device storage capacities? Are you capped to the lowest device capacity? Can that be worked around if you...

[polarathene]

The article only mentions the default GTK theme shipped, nothing to do with when users change from default themes to their own preferences.
...

[polarathene]

Right... and Oxygen isn't the default in your distro of choice right? So you've got something like Breeze by default for Qt, and now you get Breeze for...

[polarathene]

? Been a while since I used VirtualBox, did they improve on the UI quite a bit in recent years? I don't remember it being all that different from Virt-Manager...

[polarathene]

What options do you think are being taken away? Breeze is the default theme you get with Plasma unless the distro has provided their own one(like Manjaro...

[polarathene]

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that....

[polarathene]

Does anyone know if there's hope getting suspend/resume working when the usual advice doesn't pan out? Is it safe to mess with ACPI tables and enable...

[polarathene]

eGPU is still very valid here, unless you want to lock the hardware in to encourage purchases of new models if the customer needs only a better/newer...

[polarathene]

Err.. then yeah reboot. I would reboot over hibernate since on an SSD it's only around 10 seconds(half of that is just UEFI. Only reason for hibernating...

[polarathene]

Nvidia laptops are known to have issues with reaching lower power states atm until 5.6/5.7 kernel afaik. Although one of the recent kernels 5.4/5.5(?)...

[polarathene]

Don't care about the super key thing, but at least they're ensuring proper linux compatibility/support. Someone chimed in from the team in a prior article...

[polarathene]

Hibernation by default aims for 40% compression of RAM(2/5th the size). You can reduce that target to 100%(5/5) if you don't care for compression and...

[polarathene]

You know that browser got sold to a chinese search engine or something right? So they're not going to be much different than Google, especially with using...

[polarathene]

Is there a good "benchmark" or utility to assist with reproducing the issue rather than manually opening up enough memory allocation via applications...

[polarathene]

I wonder if this will mean an exFAT USB stick that doesn't want to mount on my linux systems(causes large CPU usage until timeout/cancel of mount), will...
