Louis Rossmann is suing Samsung after firm offers $330 refund for defective SSD while selling the drives on Amazon for $949 — spat over 4TB 990 Pro SSD is headed to court
Just had a similar thing happen to me. Bought some WD reds. Two drives were DOA. Since no drives were available to replace them, I could return for a refund. Then had to buy drives when they were in stock again at double the price.

I don’t know what inspired you to write this, but thank you. It has been over a year and a half since I’ve exercised in any real capacity. Todays plan was to do it today. As the day progressed it kept getting easier and easier to justify doing it tomorrow.
After reading this post it motivated me to push through the excuses and get on the stationary cycle. Thank you.

Adding to this. A pressure cooker brings the cook time down dramatically and I think it produces a superior result.

What's your favorite profound quote?
From Frank Herbert’s Dune
Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. Climb the mountain just a little bit to test that it’s a mountain. From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain.

Does running pi hole make this redundant, or are they solving different problems?

A surprisingly fun game. It exceeded my expectations. I have played it more than I thought I would.

Doesn’t losing a vdev cause the entire pool to be lost? I guess to your point with sufficient redundancy for new vdev 1 drive redundancy whether 3 disks or 5 is essentially the same risk. If a vdev is added without redundancy that would increase risk of losing the entire pool.

Yeah for sure. Didn’t lose any money. Just a bit frustrating that I didn’t have the option to leave an RMA open and replace the DOA drives when there was stock. It was either refund or store credit.

That’s amazing. I’m on my own espresso journey. Even knowing all the theory going in, consistent execution can be elusive.
Good luck to you and cheers to great coffee at home.
