Hey Greg, Can you confirm that people _subscribed_ to the list experience a spam filter now? I thought my emails were getting spammed due to not being subscribed, but it turns out this address is, actually, subscribed; I was told this when I attempted subscribing. In other news, I haven't been receiving mails from the list recently (recent mails in the archive aren't in my inbox yet), not sure if it matters. Karl

Tom's Hardware: Chia: Stop Farming with Consumer SSDs or Stop Complaining About Endurance. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/chia-releases-statement-regarding-ssd-end… Jim Bell's comment: I made my SemiDisk in 1982 with DRAMs, not a non-volatile memory. I just checked, and it appears that 16 gbyte of DDR4 DRAM costs roughly the same as 512 gbyte of USD.
