Hamster fed

[TheBoy]

OOF seemed a bit slow earlier, so I just assumed the hamster in its yellow jacket had escaped and was rioting in Paris all weekend.

We're currently back on SAS spinny drives for a bit, following a controller glitch on the SSDs (which are SATA)

Scratch chin, why would SSDs make a difference as I would expect the reverse with slower HDDs with possible queue buffer overflow?

It looked like the SATA controller lockup, rather than the SSD, but hard to prove, hence having non critical stuff on the SATA SSDs to get confidence back. Some of HPE's firmwares over the past couple of years do leave a lot to be desired

So we're on the SAS controllers, well away from anything SATA, for a bit.  None of the SAS stuff has shown any issues.

We do not use SATA hard drives, because they are universally rubbish when it comes to performance - I guarantee if I swapped out the SAS for SATA, we'd see disk latencies measured in seconds, once the caches were exhausted.

Keep talking sexy TB; send in the wonderful SAS they will usually win through and resolve all issues!

You have a strange definition of sexy .

Probably

The S.A.S would blow up the internet box
then where would we be 
No Chinese tat deliveries off ebay , in fact, NO the OOF even 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

I have been thinking about the internet recently and weighing up the good and bad things about it. I have decided on balance that overall it probably hasn't been a good thing for humanity and we were probably better off before we had it. 
Tin hat on. 

[Sir Tigger KC]

We all probably got a lot more done, and didn't have as much 'stuff' cluttering up our homes!

Work would be crap without it... Playing by yourself all night would cause you all kinds of problems... Or worse yet, having to actually do summat

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

I would have to buy a lot more books to read.

I do feel that social media, particularly things along the lines of Arsebook and Twotter, are the cancer of modern society.

Lizzies' disappointment is when TB's talking about floppy drives.

Yes Rod, when he does that the interest diminishes greatly!

I don't think they are really anything new - there were BBSes before them and real-world social networks before that.. it's just that the barrier to entry has been lowered to "everyone".

So maybe it's not them that are the cancer on society. Maybe it's just humans.

The invention by German Gutenberg of the printing press caused similar problems in Europe where it was seen as the age of enlightenment with the increased printing of text for literature and a new age for everyone. Instead Luther harnessed it for political religious change so instead you got unrest, the Protestant Reformation and the triggering of the 30 years war, the deadliest religious war in history.

Russia's & China's use & abuse might trigger the same but we aren't there yet.
