If it wasn't an infosec issue (because no math rocks), it would be an opsec or comsec issue. We're the weak link unfortunately.

Bummer. The '\?' prefix will work regardless of registry setting, though it's a pain to remember each time.

You can also enable long paths in w10/11 (30,000+ characters). Instructions are here:

Can't you work around that with the extended length prefix of \\?\ (\\?\C:\whateverlongpathhere\)? Though admittedly, it is a pain in the ass to use.

Are kids still even taught the three Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle)? I was always taught that they were listed in order of importance, but that seems to conflict with modern capitalism.

For anyone in RHEL / Fedora land (or using dnf somewhere else), try dnf needs-restarting to list executables that have mismatched files on disk vs memory. The -r flag will hint if a reboot is needed (due to things like kernel or glibc changes)

We don't have to send him to another country. Just put him on a raft in the middle of the ocean.

Definitely this. There are utilities here with 5% service charges for paying online. I'd rather pay by check

It's slowly coming back to me... There was a floppy disk that you needed to launch the raid config? Also the platform ran pretty well with debian 4.0 if you're debating what to run on it.

For a non-pizza comment: I've been out of the hardware game for awhile, but the last time I had to set one of these up for RAID, the paper manual (which can probably be found digitally) was helpful. I also vaguely recall RAID 5 either having issues or being unavailable.
