  • If it’s the best soap you’ve ever used, that would negate the claim that soap is soap. I’m happy you’ve found something you like.

    There are always people in all hobbies that think it’s their way or the highway (no offense, but your comments have that tone to them).

    I try to avoid that and just share what I enjoy.

    One of the biggest things I hear is “cartridges cause irritation and DE razors don’t!”. That is 100% false and I disagree with it. Still, I love using DE razors and would recommend them to anyone interested in “enjoying” shaving.


  • Sounds like you have it all figured out for yourself.

    I use artisan shave soap because they work extremely well and smell awesome. Commercial soap also works well, but there isn’t as much variety in the smell department. I have a handful of brushes and I use whichever one I feel like on a given day. They all offer something unique.

    I use aftershave for the same reason you mentioned. Aloe sounds like it’d be sticky and unpleasant for my skin type.














  • I use zfs with Proxmox. I have it as a bind mount to Turnkey Fileserver (a default lxc template).

    I access everything through NFS (via turnkey Fileserver). Even other VMs just get the NFS added to the fstab file. Fine transfers happen extremely fast VM to VM, even though it’s “network” storage.

    This gives me the benefits of zfs, and NFS handles the “what if’s”, like what if two VMs access the same file at the same time. I don’t know exactly what NFS does in that case, but I haven’t run into any problems in the past 5+ years.

    Another thing that comes to mind is you should make turnkey Fileserver a privileged container, so that file ownership is done through the default user (1000 if I remember correctly). Unprivileged uses wonky UIDs which requires some magic config which you can find in the docs. It works either way, but I chose the privileged route. Others will have different opinions.





  • There are two types, CMR and SMR. You can read online about the differences. CMR is better because SMR tries to be all fancy in order to increase capacity, but at the cost of speed and data integrity.

    It won’t be front and center in the specs of a particular drive, but you usually find the info somewhere.

    I wouldn’t worry about higher capacity failing sooner. If you have 10x4TB vs 2x20TB, that’s 5x as many drives to go bad. So a 20TB drive would need a 5x worse fail rate to be considered worse. A pro of larger (fewer) drives is lower power consumption. 5-10 watts per drive doesn’t sound like much, but it adds up.
