Trying to police a newsgroup that is not moderated will not work.

If you don't like the discussion filter it out of your feed, either by
poster, or by thread. Complaining will not stop it and just adds to the
noise, or gets your articles filtered out by others.

That's how usenet works.

Just to add a data point to this more and more ridiculous off-topic meta
discussion, for Usenet purpose only, email address in my From: header,
as well as in my .signature, is quite real and working. I cannot
remember the last time, if ever at all, I received spam email at that
address. Lucky? Maybe.

Sure. I made my point clear in the first answer to the OP.
But so many users thought they had to add something meaningful.

Case is closed for me now and the OP is (again) in my killfile. I will
always react to anonymous and impolite wisenheimers the way they deserve
in my opinion.

What I observe since I participate in the usenet Anglosaxons often weigh
free speech higher than a minimum standard of decency and politeness
that helps to increase their credibility.

> That's how usenet works.

Believe me, after 22 years in the global usenet I know how it works.
Unmoderated Usenet is much more beneficial to all of us if the regulars
are very disciplined.

Jörg earned a permanent position in my kill file by being a complete
arsehole. This entire meta discussion indicates that the mentally
disturbed individual behind the nym remains just as much an arsehole
now as then.

Best to just killfile it and more along.

I completely disagree, since he, after a technical
discussion (to prove the conclusions), went on to give
useful advices specific to Linux, i.g. the one about
"noatime" mount option, and the stuff about logging on a ram
disk.
You seem to be polemising for misterious reasons

At the point where you _need_ something to work for a decade, it's
probably worth looking at industrial SD cards rather than
off-the-shelf ones. These are commonly characterised by using SLC
flash, which trades storage capacity for more write cycles.

NAND flash types:
https://www.kingston.com/en/blog/pc-performance/difference-between-slc-mlc-tlc-3d-nand

The datasheet for this SLC SD card describes the controller's
reliability features (including wear levelling):
https://docs.rs-online.com/29d1/0900766b815d5fe1.pdf
(pages 11 & 12)

Here's sales info from another industrial SD card manufacturer, who
elsewhere also advertise SD cards with an "advanced wear levelling
algorithm":
https://www.atpinc.com/blog/industrial-sd-cards-factors-requirements-to-consider

I'm not sure whether the industrial SD card controllers really do
much more for increasing longevity in a read-only application
though.

And to add another data point: I get a few spam messages per day
at the real, live email address in my signature. Until recently,
I used my email service provider's spam filter to get rid of the
repeat offenders but switched to a home-grown filter program
after I got blasted with several per day from random-ish invalid
domain names. Having "spamtrap" in the name field seems to help.

Indeed. It does seem that with the price of computing power falling so
massively, there is little reason *not* to add wear levelling to SD
cards. Which ultimately renders them as reliable as any other NAND based
flash device.

My interest is, as always, to understand just enough to get the job
done, which in this case means I want about 10-15 years of reliable
operation on a 24x7 basis.

Having noted that in normal operation as far as I have built it, the
unit is not accessing its SD card AT ALL apart from a daily write to
some logs, I think that there I will stop.

There happens to be a sufficiency of RAM to regard the SD card
essentially as EAROM.

That will do nicely.

Hence the primary metric for SSD longevity is TBW (terabytes written).

Those are pretty good. However within a certain range
I still rec FRAM. It's REALLY good and you can get I2C
or SPI interface. Capacity, alas, is a bit limited. But,
if your app requires keeping track of peak figures,
current state and such ... things that ARE going to change
a fair bit but MUST be remembered between reboots .......
if you want a decade you don't use SD or on-chip flash.

Well, as mentioned, there may be "sneak" writes of
various kinds. Those who make distros for PIs and
such TRY to shift everything off into RAM but they
can MISS stuff, or discount "lesser" stresses on
SD. The focus of such distros is still aimed more
at "hobbyists" than "industrial" and they make
judgements accordingly.

I wrote a multi-channel environmental monitor for "field"
use a few years ago. It took 12 samples per hour. Does not
sound like much, but it adds up. The device also HAD to
store a lot of high/low and random params which could
change every sample.

For that I chose I2C FRAM. No wait states, effectively
unlimited re-writes. Better than SD or on-chip EEPROM.

This is NOT a solution for jamming an entire OS into
unless it's DOS 2.x but you (and hopefully the distro
writers) do your best to shift all the OS stuff into
RAM and kinda hope for the best. The params in the FRAM
take care of reboots, save "the state".

The horse is dead. Quit beating it. If you find a topic annoying, killfile
it. (You do know how to use your newsreader's killfile facility, right?)

FWIW, I find you more annoying than this topic, so...

After many years I've discovered that those complaining about a non de
plume vs a real name, and esp a working email address, are only trolls
looking for info to allow harassing the poster via other means.
