  • Personally I’ve used Western Digital, Seagate, and PNY drives with no failures. Stay away from anything HP branded; they don’t actually produce drives but rather rebadge other failure-prone models and make it damn near impossible to claim any warranty.

    I’ve had a Samsung Evo drive fail on me, but warranty was pretty easy. I’ve also had a PNY 2.5" ssd that has never failed on me, but I did break the connector off accidentally. Warranty was actually ridiculously easy on that, despite it being entirely user error.

    If data is mission critical, it’s worth shelling out extra; stay away from any cheap brands (HP, SanDisk, etc) and opt for the higher end models in reputable brands (Eg WD Red, Purple, and Gold vs Green and Blue, or Seagate Ironwolf or Firecuda)

    These are my own personal experiences. Others will have better/worse experiences and I encourage you to seek out others’ experiences and options, as well as others to add their own







  • “While we are making this change to ensure users’ expectations regarding a community’s access do not suddenly change, protest is allowed on Reddit,” writes Nestler. “We want to hear from you when you think Reddit is making decisions that are not in your communities’ best interests. But if a protest crosses the line into harming redditors and Reddit, we’ll step in.”

    Yall have very clearly demonstrated that you do not care about the communities best interest, and you have no interest in hearing what we think. Fuck Spez and good riddance to reddit









  • The CVE has to do with the utility not correctly identifying private IP addresses supplied to it in a non-standard format, such as hexadecimal. This would cause the ‘node-ip’ utility to treat a private IP address (in hex format) such as " 0x7F.1…" (which represents 127.1…) as public.

    This is a ridiculous expectation. Providing addresses in an unsupported format doesn’t yield correct results? Who wouldda thunk it. Clean up your fucking code and pass it in as expected, or make your own damn node-ip.
