Noah Liebman<p>My nephew is asking whether an RFID-blocking wallet or card is worth it. I haven’t seen much discussion of it in privacy circles, and I’m not finding much reliable-looking reporting on it.

szakib<p>Hey Fedi!</p><p>I need to convert a 4TB RAID array. I will move the data off it and then back. Currently it's NTFS (and Windows). When I'm done, it will be LVM+EXT4 (and Linux).</p><p>Does the file system of the intermediate storage make any difference to the speed or otherwise? If yes, what would be best? (I might hit the 4GB file size limit on FAT32.)</p><p>Also, is this best done by copying files, or would it be faster (probably not safer) to manipulate the existing partition?</p><p><a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a> <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/LazyWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LazyWeb</span></a> <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/Storage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Storage</span></a></p>
