Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Like raid 6 or higher. Data is distributed with included redundancy to make up for nodes dropping off.
But then community admins would need to backup their communities as raid is not backup.
I just don't know how that would work with the data.. restoration distribution across new nodes etc etc. but then .. I'm not a dev.
Raid doesn't work in this context. Because we're assuming we have antagonistic peers. So Central control of any element, gives away control of the whole system.
In a redundant array of inexpensive disks, there's the assumption that there's bunificent administrator organizing everything.
I get that.. sort off.
In Raid the admin supplies the disks, creates the pools and the raid platform does the rest is this really different?
In the analogy it would be an admin starts a pool of 1, other admins join their node into the pool and the system handles distributing content across the nodes in the pool. No raid level selection as the system aims for optimal redundancy.
I just expect this setup to run into similar issues surrounding equitable data and load distribution, as not all nodes will be equal in power, storage capacity, bandwidth etc etc. something that actual Raid arrays should not have..
But it's cool to think about.
