  • Pure water is not good for you… You need your water to be contaminated with minerals at very least.

    Also, our systems don’t like stuff to be too sterile as well, since that will make our defenses decrease over time. Being esposed to a reasonable level of bacteria and viruses is what male you stronger and build your defense. Tell that to new parents after their kids start going to preschool.

    I mean “reasonable” of course. And tap water is reasonable (at least, in developed countries so places like USA might not apply, right Flint?) clean to fit that description.

    PS: there are stuff that will make you seriously sick in river and stream water, against which it’s pointless to build defences… So please don’t do that and always drink controlled water.

    Fun fact, in the Alps every small village has a public fountain, where water is NOT controlled or checked, but still perfectly fine to drink specially if you have been drinking ot from young age, like I did. Others who grow up without drinking it, might feel some mild consequences if they drink too much.


  • I use both dokuwik and, more recently, also wiki.JS.

    Dokuwik is great and gets the job done but it’s a piece of an old world. Maybe it’s why I love it. Yes it’s ugly and hard to theme. It’s good old php all the way down.

    Wiki.JS I love how consistent and easy it is to use and install. Has other drawbacks like require nodejs and store pages in a database, but uses markdown and feels modern and nice to use.

    If you mean using three disks as two by wasting 66% of space to keep a spare drive… I think it’s a waste on a home pc

    If you mean to use three disks to get 6tb/2=3tb of available space, then it’s something I only recently got aware of (see previous comment to my comment) so yes.

    Setup a raid5 with mdadm, format that with btrfs.

    Using btrfs for raid is not recomended by btrfs itself.

    But setting up a raid5 mdadm array is very simple and let you use btrfs.

    I agree that zfs is too much.

    Edit: with three drives, raid1 doesn’t make sense. Raid10 i never seen it in over 20y being used by anybody.

    Check periodically for bulging batteries, you might have to remove the back cover to detect such a condition depending on model.

    I used to run a laptop as well but I have had batteries die like that twice, and that’s a fire concern as well specially if you have it stored away in a closed and never physically check it.

    Keeping charge at 70% doesn’t help, you need to powercycle the battery regularly to prevent batteries to die on you
