  • Yeah, I guess there are two ways to view these words…

    In one you see the use of the word as a slur as a bad act, in the other you see the word as damaging in itself, like having to watch nsfl gore or something.

    If you feel the word itself is damaging to see, censoring it makes sense. If you just care about people not using slurs, seeing the word itself is fine.


  • It’s pretty silly that using them in a discussion about slurs would upset enough people that it’s better not to.

    If you actually use them as slurs, censoring doesn’t really make you a better person. Telling someone “you’re a fucking r-word” isn’t really all that much nicer than writing out the full thing…



  • Or run the raid 5 or 6 separately, with hardware raid or mdadm

    Even for simple mirroring there’s an argument to be made for running it separately from btrfs using mdadm. You do lose the benefit of btrfs being able to automatically pick the valid copy on localised corruption, but the admin tools are easier to use and more proven in a case of full disk failure, and if you run an encrypted block device you need to encrypt half as much stuff.
