Likewise with PCI 4.0 cards in a PCI 3.0 motherboard:
[ 0.768734] [ T1] pci 0000:43:00.0: 126.016 Gb/s available PCIe bandwidth, limited by 8.0 GT/s PCIe x16 link at 0000:40:03.1 (capable of 252.048 Gb/s with 16.0 GT/s PCIe x16 link)
or in a physically-x16-really-x4 slot:
[ 0.777737][ T1] pci 0000:09:00.0: 31.504 Gb/s available PCIe bandwidth, limited by 8.0 GT/s PCIe x4 link at 0000:00:03.1 (capable of 126.024 Gb/s with 16.0 GT/s PCIe x8 link)

The second card has same problem as yours, when in a real x16 slot it'd use only 8 lanes despite physically having the connectors.

No. On the other hand, high and middle management believes in buzzword-driven logic, and thus adopts it, ready or not.

And that's the reason sane countries have outlawed it. It's nothing but shitting on the customer.

Making this a generational war isn't going to help. It deflects from the real culprits: The financial industry and the colleges themselves. The incentive for the finance biz was obvious. It's another payment stream, and they got the cherry on top of it not being discharged in bankruptcy. The incentive for colleges is that when education is financed, it now makes it possible for them to raise tuition and other expenses. When you pay out of pocket, you're cost conscious. When something is financed, you're tempted to price it according to whatever payment you think you can afford in the future. Even if you don't, other people do and that will allow prices to rise. You're a price-taker in the market. You have no choice, except to turn away or maybe go with something cheaper and perhaps less prestigious; but that's going up too because everything is financed.

So it's not inter-generational conflict. That's deflection, and before some young socialist yells "class war!" that's not it either. Everybody is greedy. Socialism is just an alternative marketing plan developed by another bunch of suits, with an aim of going straight for power and relying less on money to get there.

So what's the answer? Rooting out corruption and greed, without regard for the cynical fronts of "generational war" or "class war", or whatever "war" is being pitched to accrue power to yet another bad actor.

The English name of the country remains Turkey not something we can't even write on Slashdot. Just like we say Germany not Deutchland. And their Führer can go <censored>.

4., of course. Those who refuse to sing and dance get deported.

Where did I claim that only capitalism and socialism exists? And while you're right that other massive ecological disasters exist, ruining the whole of Central Asia with a single megaproject is, by far, the biggest damage done by a single instance of human ignorance. Not even greed, just pure stupidity: after soviets ended Lysenkoism (which cost them decades of research and lives of thousands of scientists), they moved to their next political idea. And this kind of agricultural project was one of favourite pasttimes of communism, see eg. Four Pests Campaign that lasted just 4 years but was so disastrous that the instant famine offed tens of millions.

But, if you love socialism so much, please explain to me: could you give me even ONE upside of it? All I see is north of 200M dead (~11% national, the rest reds). If an idea has been tried in 100+ countries, and every time has resulted in concentration camps (well, Grenada had "only" disorganized killing, but it's a microstate where communists got spanked after 4 years) -- perhaps the idea is not that good after all?

Even religions which claim Jesus as a prophet haven't managed so high a number, but as they got quite close (~100M christianity + ~75M islam), it's not for a lack of trying.

Not block, that just makes the bot herders come from a new set of IPs and with a slightly different method to ward off detection. And instead of a single article, give them endless content they so crave. Be it AI-generated to match current fads, or dissociated press generated as we used to do in the previous millenium.

If only we had protocols for bulk downloads that scale according to the content's popularity...

Sorry but it's socialism that has done the worst ecological disasters. The Aral Sea is now the Aral Desert, the rivers that provided Central Asia fertile steppes are now small polluted streams, and the land is too salty for any productive use.

Central Asia used to have rivers and lakes just 60 years ago, is mostly a salty half-desert now, for this exact reason.

It's only 1.5 million images, we have plenty of people who'd volunteer to classify and filter them -- and, select the best. Although, shameful to say, I'd prefer to use tags made by magatees, as their definition of "woman" is the one I'd want to filter on.

While the first 10 words of your sentence make sense, this insult against ZOOLOOK was uncalled for.

md RAID, various hwraids etc -- anything that doesn't talk to the filesystem -- can't recover from any errors other than 1. read errors that have been detected by the drive itself, 2. a complete failure of a drive with it never coming back. SSDs often return garbage instead of an error; especially a failure or a bug in the FTL will give you an unrelated sector. Cable failures happen, etc. If a drive comes back (after a transient error, reboot, or reseating), the RAID layer has no way to know which drive contains current and which stale data. Some of these errors can be caught by a write-intent bitmap but it's not always enabled, and has too rough granularity to give an answer in many cases.

On the other hand, btrfs has a checksum chain going all the way up to the superblock: you simply pick the copy that validates.

Also, btrfs allows a non-even number of disks of non-even size. You can eg. have a RAID1 on disks sized 512 1024 1024 (usable size: 1280). Or, change RAID levels on the fly.
