@dcatdemon thanks so much for the links! I'll go read up a bit

@dcatdemon thanks for the steps but if the RAID metadata wasn't written to the start of the existing disk, won't it cause issues? The existing disk has an existing VG and LV on it (that isn't a RAID1 VG).

Sorry if I wasn't clear initially.

How do I RAID1 and existing VG and LV to a new disk? Oh also fuck me but new disk is 0.02TB smaller so the partition table is different... My guess is I need to repartition the existing VG and LV to a smaller size, copy the partition table over without UUIDs and then mdadm a new VG and add both disks in?

This is on proxmox so it's essentially just debian.

Why didn't I run a RAID1 set up from the start? Cos proxmox doesn't allow you to. Either ZFS or go home.

@houfu their API doesn't allow for CoT in the response. If you use Deepseek through OpenRouter (which uses the OpenAI API), you don't get the CoT either.

Forgive me if I'm mistake but... Chain of Thought models are not actually the models thinking as far as I understand? The CoT is merely the LLM speaking to itself within an incentivized environment to achieve specific outcomes. It still works purely on the tokenizer and next most probable token logic. I wish people who barely understand AI would stop writing about it...

@ralf Ralf, just thought to let you know your CV link on your bio is 404ing.

Never thought my Excel skills could become a profitable sideline but here we are.

@cyd The API is completely uncensored. Only the app is.

Someone needs to invent an economic recession meter that tracks the enshittification of open source projects due to need for monetization. First WordPress and now Firefox, I guess we are really due for an economic downturn.

@houfu just read up on it. Advertising but it seems inevitable based on the EU rulings on anti-trust...

@houfu What bad things? I'm currently using a Firefox fork 😐

@mustardsauce 💀💀💀

Let me guess... SkillsFuture?

I'm in the worst PMP class ever. My trainer just told the class if you accept a risk, it doesn't mean you don't do anything about it. 🤦♂️

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

@mustardsauce did they explain AI training or was it like just "THIS AI GOOD. HULK USE!"?

I can't wait for all these corporations to invest so much money in AI solutions and training only to find out in a few months it's not what they thought it was and then back pedal on their investments.

AI is great, it *can* improve productivity, but probably not the way you're expecting it to by replacing humans.

@alwynispat homelab? If it is, just get a NAS for local backups then NAS to B2. Mine is for commercial use as I'm selling some services hosted on the servers. My homelab set up only has local backups and no offsite.

@alwynispat different providers for different purposes. A mix of OVHCloud and Contabo and I have zero trust in their backups or snapshots so I'm just using duplicity to on-prem for backups and then Backblaze B2 for offsite.
