  <f​reddi99:matrix.org> just make sure to properly shut down the node when shutting down the pc. a crash or similar could f up the blockchain file, making you redownload the whole thing again
• 12:13
  m-relay
  <a​ndrewjackson:matrix.org> Make sure it's a SSD drive or it will take forever to sync
• 12:45
  m-relay
  <m​onero.arbo:matrix.org> it's a thousand times more convenient to use a pc that's running 24/7 if you can
• 13:31
  m-relay
  <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> depends
• 13:32
  m-relay
  <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> you need a power failure resistant filesystem (almost every fs on linux is)
• 13:32
  m-relay
  <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> once you finish syncing lmdb is put in durability mode so even under crash or power failure it won't corrupt
• 13:32
  m-relay
  <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> unless OS or hardware fucked up and decided to write over it
• 13:33
  m-relay
  <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> which is to say, extremely unlikely
• 13:33

  <o​frnxmr:monero.social> --db-sync-mode=safe:sync
• 14:13
  boldsuck
  I used db-sync-mode=safe on all nodes. I now resync some with: db-sync-mode=safe fast-block-sync=0
• 14:15
  boldsuck
  On Linux I would recommend creating monerod as a system user & grop and creating a systemd script.

  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:monero.social> May i ask why you use fast-block-sync=0
• 14:31
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:monero.social> And why you use safe from the beginning
• 14:32
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:monero.social> Only need safe after its synced, and fast-block-sync skips checkpoints, but doesnt change behavior at tip
• 15:02
  boldsuck
  fast-block-sync=0 bc I read yesterday: monero-project/monero #8836
• 15:05
  boldsuck
  I simply copy and paste my monerod.conf from one server to another. Safe sync from the start doesn't hurt.
• 15:17
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Safe performs more writes and is slower
• 15:21
  boldsuck
  OK, now it's too late and I've tortured my SSDs ;-)
• 15:23
  boldsuck
  Blockchain Sync with 2x10G and 256GB RAM took around16-18 hours, ~4 years ago
• 15:27
  m-relay
  <r​ucknium:monero.social> boldsuck: Without fast sync, syncing the node from zero on a powerful machine will take about a week. It's fine to do it, of course. I did it with one of my nodes.
• 15:27
  ofrnxmr
  It takes about 8hrs here to sync through the checkpoints, and another 8 to sync the next 100k blocks
• 15:28
  ofrnxmr
  s/next 100k/remaining 100k+blocks/
• 15:28
  ofrnxmr
  rucknium - unless you use cuprate, which takes like 24hrs
• 15:29
  ofrnxmr

  m-relay
  <r​ucknium:monero.social> :D
• 15:35
  boldsuck
  @r​ucknium OK, no problem, it's just one server for testing. I have 6 or more other monerods in use.
• 15:35
  boldsuck
  Yeah cuprate is on TODO list
• 19:00
  boldsuck
  @ofrnxmr is librejo.monerodevs.org down 4ever or a temporary pause?
• 19:03
  m-relay
  <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> lmao
• 19:03
  m-relay
  <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> lemme check (i own librejo)
• 19:06
  m-relay
  <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> boldsuck should be good
• 19:06
  m-relay
  <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> test again
• 19:08
  boldsuck
  Yeah is back
• 19:08
  boldsuck
  Sorry for the confusion. I thought ofrnxmr & syntheticbird were the same person.
• 19:09
  m-relay
  <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> np, how did you come up with him and me being the same person tho?
• 19:10
  boldsuck
  someone wrote somewhere
• 19:11
  boldsuck
  I think kewbit ;-)
• 19:22
  m-relay
  <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> if kewbit said so that must be true
• 19:24
  m-relay
  <3​21bob321:monero.social> Debian node
• 19:40
  m-relay
  <a​remor:matrix.org> I am deeply depressed anyone would believe anything that person said
• 19:48
  m-relay
  <m​onero.arbo:matrix.org> me and SyntheticBird are the same person
• 19:51
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> syntheticbird said it
• 19:51
  m-relay
  <3​21bob321:monero.social> I thought everyone was rotten
• 19:52
  m-relay
  <3​21bob321:monero.social> This is confusing

  <x​3cc:nope.chat> Imagine having multiple personality disorder and not knowing about it

  <m​arithemari:matrix.org> sorry if i shouldn't mention this to reopen old drama but i'm reading the kewbit drama doc and wow. it's certainly something holy shit
• 20:40

  <x​3cc:nope.chat> True

  <a​remor:matrix.org> I’m guessing the con to these is connecting directly from your isp.
• 22:31
  m-relay
  <a​remor:matrix.org> Someone here names 4arkal(sp?) linked a different once a few days ago right?
