Satellite images show dozens of Iranian missiles struck near Israeli air base

    So it seems Iran overstated the accuracy of their missiles and Israel understated how many got through.

    > Researchers have used commercial satellite imagery to identify more than 30 points where Iranian missiles appear to have impacted an air base in southern Israel. > Based on preliminary calculations of what happened at Nevatim, Lewis believes a substantial number of Iranian missiles may have reached their targets. > Lewis notes that although over 30 missiles landed inside the base perimeter, the damage caused was still somewhat limited. That's notable because Iran is believed to have used some of its most advanced Fattah missiles.

  • Exported gas produces far worse emissions than coal, major study finds | Research challenges idea that sending liquefied natural gas around the world is cleaner alternative to burning coal
  • avidamoeba avidamoeba Now 100%

    Posting this further up for visibility.

    Maybe I'm stupid but there's this table:

    It seems like they're not just counting the combustion emissions in that number.

    Then there's also this, which explicitly talks about fuel development emissions:

    The carbon-dioxide emissions just from combustion are substantially greater for coal, 99 g CO2/MJ versus 55 g CO2/MJ for LNG. Total carbon-dioxide emissions from coal, including emissions from developing and transporting the fuel, are also greater than for LNG, but the difference is less, 102.4 g CO2/MJ for coal versus 83.1 g CO2/MJ for LNG (Table 4). This is because of greater energy costs and, therefore, higher emissions of carbon dioxide for developing and transporting the LNG compared with coal. Methane emissions for LNG are substantially larger than for coal, 76.5 g CO2-equivalent/MJ for LNG compared with only 17.3 g CO2-equivalent/MJ for coal (Table 4). As presented in Section 2, this result for methane emissions for coal is quite robust across regions, including China and Poland.55, 56 Consequently, total greenhouse gas emissions are 33% larger for LNG than for coal for the cases of average tanker-cruise lengths, 160 g CO2-equivalent/MJ for LNG versus 120 g CO2-equivalent/MJ for coal (Table 4).

    Did you look at the paper or am I grossly misunderstanding something?

    Unless you need RAID 5/6, which doesn’t work well on btrfs

    Yes. Because they're already using some sort of parity RAID so I assume they'd use RAID in ZFS/Btrfs and as you said, that's not an option for Btrfs. So LVMRAID + Btrfs is the alternative. LVMRAID because it's simpler to use than mdraid + LVM and the implementation is still mdraid under the covers.

    It is marketing and it does have meaningful connection to the litho features, but the connection is not absolute. For example Samsung's 5nm is noticeably more power hungry than TSMC's 5nm.

    And you probably know that sync writes will shred NAND while async writes are not that bad.

    This doesn't make sense. SSD controllers have been able to handle any write amplification under any load since SandForce 2.

    Also most of the argument around speed doesn't make sense other than DC-grade SSDs being expected to be faster in sustained random loads. But we know how fast consumer SSDs are. We know their sequential and random performance, including sustained performance - under constant load. There are plenty benchmarks out there for most popular models. They'll be as fast as those benchmarks on average. If that's enough for the person's use case, it's enough. And they'll handle as many TB of writes as advertised and the amount of writes can be monitored through SMART.

    And why would ZFS be any different than any other similar FS/storage system in regards to random writes? I'm not aware of ZFS generating more IO than needed. If that were the case, it would manifest in lower performance compared to other similar systems. When in fact ZFS is often faster. I think SSD performance characteristics are independent from ZFS.

    Also OP is talking about HDDs, so not even sure where the ZFS on SSDs discussion is coming from.

  • “Extreme” Broadcom-proposed price hike would up VMware costs 1,050%, AT&T says
  • avidamoeba avidamoeba Now 100%

    To add a concrete example to this, I worked at a bank during a migration from a VMware operated private cloud (own data center) to OpenStack. In several years, the OpenStack cloud got designed, operationalised, tested and ready for production. In the following years some workloads moved to OpenStack. Most didn't. 6 years after the beginning of the whole hullabaloo the bank cancelled the migration program and decided they'll keep the VMware infrastructure intact and upgrade it. They began phasing out OpenStack. If you're in North America, you know this bank. Broadcom can probably extract 1000% price increase and still run that DC in a decade.

    I asked a relative to look for RealVNC on the Play Store and install it. Once they were done, I asked them to fulfill a basic task inside RealVNC and they were really confused by my instructions. I took a look at their phone, lo and behold, they had installed a different app. I asked them to repeat the install procedure while I watched. They punched in "realvnc" in the search box, *two identically formatted results* appeared. Their finger instinctively clicked the Install button on the top result. It was an ad. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦
