What helps for me is to start every game fresh . I used to be very easily prone to autopiloting because I won last game and basically think that the next one will be easy , this is not the case . Now I just go into every game with a fresh mindset , it helps you to focus more on the game at hand . <| sep |> Thank you , I ' ll look into it <| sep |> This is just gonna make me stop clicking on gifs though . <| sep |> Software raid , mdadm on Linux not lvm . Raid 1 on your physical nonstorage machines . Especially on SSD that don ' t die in part , but die all at once . Raid 6 for backup storage when you expect to have more than 4 devicesRaid 10 for 4 drive setups dbstorageHybridszfs , btrfs only when you don ' t want to be able to restore once they are corrupted . Software raids are easier to recover in case of corruption than hybrids . But they are also more rigid . BTRFS can give you 2 copies of all data spread across five devices that are all in different sizes while giving you good utilisation . Raid is more rigid , capping you to the size of the smallest device , but also not as prone to random corruptions .
