Comment Blame / Insurance (Score 2) 96

Currently many people buy "Enterprise" linux so they have someone to blame.

They could be on bookworm with a -current kernel but then if something goes wrong there's noone paid to apologize.

Perhaps with ransomware insurance going sky-high the incentives will change but right now in EL space being secure is not a top priority - quarterly bonuses are much more important.

Comment vs. nvme (Score 2) 58

I just assembled a 2TB nvme usb 3.2 drive for $129 for desktop backups.

At $229 for the rugged WD spinning rust this drive is going to be very niche.

You can have a 4TB "10 Gbps" drive for the same money.

I'm guessing it's SMR too? It's probably OK to leave for overnight backups but 130MB/s was exciting in 1999.

Students these days have huge datasets to work on and they're always starved for time.
