We’re kinda saying the same thing. New heat pumps are improving on a problem that’s been around for decades.
Most cold-climate heat pumps can run at total capacity until the outdoor temperature gets to about 5 F or below. It will still heat your home at those lower temperatures, but not necessarily keep it as warm as you may typically like. That’s where backup heat sources come in.
Yeah cold climates are the place where heat pumps will always struggle the most. I’m also from MN and have been eyeing this as an option once my 30yo furnace finally gives in.
These modern ones work so well even in adverse conditions that they’re gaining traction in MN with HVAC companies, which is very good to see.
You sincerely think you have a better grasp on coffee than James Hoffmann?
Much more likely you haven’t tried good decaf from a good roaster, tried a blind tasting, or your preparation is seriously flawed.
Yeah, well for many of us it’s decaf or no coffee due to health issues. You acting like it’s a foolish, childish thing is just tribalism/elitism.
And for what it’s worth, I’d put my decaf vs your coffee in a heartbeat. A good roaster with quality beans is great coffee, decaf or no. Just like Hoffman said.
I’ve had great experiences with exactly one vendor of second hand disks.
Currently running 8x14TB in a striped & mirrored zpool.
I mean, it is Alabama. The nearest civilization is Atlanta.
Zettlr for technical writing into any format.
Obsidian for a second brain based on the molecular notes method. And yes, I’ve tried all of the FOSS alternatives. None are ready to replace Obsidian yet.
Wallabag for saving resources offline for easy and permanent reference.
Lunarvim for actually sitting down to work instead of fiddling with and optimizing my setup.
In my experience, nope. I tried so hard to use Logseq, but I had massive issues with speed, stability, and database corruption.
Really I think the root of the issue is their database. The database causes so many problems and makes their synchronization methods dirty hacks at best.
Really all I do is setup fail2ban on my very few external services, and then put all other access behind wireguard.
Logs are clean, I’m happy.
Yeah, you should be scrubbing weekly or monthly, depending on how often you are using the data. Scrub basically touches each file and checks the checksums and fixes any errors it finds proactively. Basically preventative maintenance.

Set that up in a cron job and check zpool status periodically.
No dedup is good. LZ4 compression is good. RAM to disk ratio is generous.
Check your disk’s sector size and vdev ashift. On modern multi-TB HDDs you generally have a block size of 4k and want ashift=12. This being set improperly can lead to massive write amplification which will hurt throughput.

How about snapshots? Do you have a bunch of old ones? I highly recommend setting up a snapshot manager to prune snapshots to just a working set (monthly keep 1-2, weekly keep 4, daily keep 6 etc) https://github.com/jimsalterjrs/sanoid
And to parrot another insightful comment, I also recommend checking the disk health with SMART tests. In ZFS as a drive begins to fail the pool will get much slower as it constantly repairs the errors.
ZFS is a very robust choice for a NAS. Many people, myself included, as well as hundreds of businesses across the globe, have used ZFS at scale for over a decade.
Attack the problem. Check your system logs, htop, zpool status.
When was the last time you ran a zpool scrub? Is there a scrub, or other zfs operation in progress? How many snapshots do you have? How much RAM vs disk space? Are you using ZFS deduplication? Compression?
Why not a K8s cluster? Much more appropriate for modern software.
Yes, also allowed for a very nice balance and QoL pass on a few classes.
Shinedown The Sound of Madness
I love all of their albums, but there’s something truly special about the musicality and emotional impact of the songs and album as a whole for The Sound of Madness
There subsequent albums are fantastic, but have more ups and downs than the consistent high bar of The Sound of Madness
Similarly, I think Disturbed Immortalized was Disturbed’s peak work, with The Light and The Sound of Silence being incredible peaks of their signature style and highly musical storytelling on a fantastic album.
If it’s illegal for the government to collect this info, it should be illegal for companies to do so too.
Better, yes. Lifetime IP ban?
Man, all these world class athletes from Russia have these horrible heart conditions at such young ages!
Must be something in the water…
You say “no one knows coffee better than he does”, while blatantly disagreeing with his entirely empirical points in his video on decaf, that it can be made by several processes, all of them are fairly good, and the result can be masterful?
I live in a hockey capitol. That makes me nothing like an expert. Same for you.
Okay, so you make brilliant decaf. That means your point in this thread is moot?
Funny thing on that “subjectivity” is when you disagree with other people in this thread, you’ve plainly said they’re just entirely wrong.
When someone disagrees with you, you hide behind “subjectivity”.
I encourage you to introspect.
