Question among geeks.
Is there any way to use an SMR HDD for Proxmox backups with relatively decent speed?
Here's what I've tried so far:
Mount options in fstab:
- defaults,noatime,nodiratime,nofail
Tests performed:
BTRFS: Starts off very well with a sustained 100MB/s, but at 200 gigabytes it drops to 3/4 MB/s.
XFS: Starts with a sustained 10/15MB/s and at 200 gigabytes ends up dropping to 3/4MB/s.
EXT4: Starts and ends with 3/4MB/s.
I'm ruling out NILFS2 because I don't consider it mature enough.
SMR technology is fucking shit.

Religion is poorly taught in school precisely because it teaches what the church wants.
The Catholic Church is just as corrupt as the state.
The true meaning of the New Testament is that it is the legacy of all Greek philosophy condensed into one book. The New Testament is the cradle of all European civilization, and to apply it, there is no need for a church, let alone a pope who lives in opulence and luxury.
If Jesus Christ returned, the first thing he would do is abolish the church.
There should be no third party between Jesus and you, just as there is no third party between bitcoin and you.
The New Testament condenses both Greek humanism and stoicism. Simply read it and apply it to your daily life. That's all there is to it.
In my case, the government steals more than 70% of what I earn.
Does this give me the right to threaten them with death and take their lives?
At what percentage of theft does it give me the natural right to do so?

The song that has motivated me the most throughout my life.
Work, sport, and honor.
Day after day, without stopping, no matter what happens, you may be sadder or happier, but the sun rises every day and every day you have to work and train.
Sport has taught me everything; sport has been my teacher.
Sport and discipline are intrinsically linked. If you are disciplined in your life, you will have a good life, there is no other way.
And accept pain, pain is our traveling companion for better or for worse.
I am already motivated for my daily dose of muscle-ups.
Have a good day.

How many rounds can you take? 😂

Time is an inexorable force of nature, which is why it is important not to let anyone steal your time.
Money is a way of storing time. Do not use counterfeit money, and do not allow the state and its lackeys to steal your time either.

Claro ejemplo de escoria comunista, 0 respeto por la vida de estos sub-seres.
Todo aquel que vive de nuestro dinero no debería poder salir tranquilo a la calle.
Son ratas ladronas sin moral alguna, solo espero que mueran pronto para que dejen de robarnos.
Good morning!
ARK and Spark are garbage, they offer no privacy whatsoever. You're better off sticking with Lightning or even Liquid, with all their trade-offs.
From what they initially promised with ARK to what it actually is, it looks like they bought it on AliExpress.
And that concludes my daily reflections. The world today is still worse than yesterday. Bitcoin has not managed to solve anything, because the solution is not Bitcoin, given that the main problem is you.
Have a good day.
