Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise. Multiple commenters are saying I'm off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here's the proof.

It can be far more than "a few extra bucks." It's not just buying more expensive ram, but you need a compatible motherboard and processor as well.

It can be. It doesn't have to be. If ECC is too expensive I recommend avoiding ZFS.

[-] roofuskit@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Like ECC there's little to no benefit for the average user to use ZFS.

I agree. I didn't realize we were talking about average users. I thought we were talking about people building NAS.

[-] roofuskit@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I'm talking about the average person building a media server to cut out monthly streaming or cable costs. They don't need or even know ZFS.

That's why I agreed with you. :P
