L2ARC only does metadata out of the box. You have to tell it to do data & metadata. Plus for everything in L2ARC there has to be a memory page for it. So for that reason it’s better to max out your system memory before doing L2ARC.

It’s also not a cache in the way that LVMCACHE and BCACHE are.

At least that’s my understanding from having used it on storage servers and reading the documentation.

I used to do this all the time! So in terms of speed bcache is the fastest, but it’s not as well supported as lvm cache. IMHO lvm cache is plenty fast enough for most uses.

Is it going to be as fast as a NVME ssd? Nope. But it should be about as fast as a SATA ssd if not a little slower depending on how it’s getting the data. If you’re willing to take that trade off it’s worth it. Though anything already cached is going to be accessed at NVME speeds.

So it’s totally worth it if you need bigger storage but can’t afford the SSD. I would go bigger in your HDD though, if you can. Because unless you’re accessing more than the capacity of your SSD frequently; the caching will work extremely well for both reads and writes. So your steam games will feel like they’re on a SSD, most of the time, and everything else you do will “feel” snappy too.

OP said they don’t want/can’t use the built in paid sync service and wants to self host it

I’ve been putting everything behind Tailscale. I don’t see any reason to make it public unless you’re planning on sharing it with the public.

I hope it’s either written so broadly that it covers everyone in the US on that day or it’s so narrow that it only applies to like 6 people. Because that would really fit the theme of the shit show that is combining

I’ve never in my entire life wanted something more than to see copycats going after the C-Suite of places that put profits over people, especially when they’re running a company that should not exist. Because then maybe… politicians will finally get some meaningful reforms. Because they sure as hell don’t care about dead kids. Thoughts and prayers!!!

I think that’s the party that is paid to loose…

It’s a libertarian wet dream…. That will fuck over regular people for decades…

Yeap, the more they squeeze the more people will have less to loose. Now that it’s been done once people see it’s possible. People see how it’s being celebrated. Hopefully this will replace shoot shootings. Because politicians don’t care about dead kids but they’ll as hell care about CEOs being merc’d. Maybe we’ll get some meaningful reforms out of this and change some business practices too.

Nope.

I hate to say it but this is one of many reasons a good portion of the non voting left voted for Trump by not voting.

How much of a difference does the AMS make in terms of a general printing? If someone wasn’t planning to do multi color prints often or at all would it still be worth it?
