Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

    Bummer dude! I’m grappling with a failing hard disk (the data is fine), but just the sheer amount of shitting around to prove it is or isn’t my recent half baked theory is something I just don’t have the emotional energy for.

    As much as I’d like to, ain’t no way I’m self-hosting this stack!

      My personal stuff is all hosted on a Raspberry Pi with an SSD attached, and the SSD failed earlier in the year (as in completely dead). I was trying to troubleshoot, and switched out the hard drive for another one I had and it still didn’t work. I ended up going down the wrong track trying to solve it because what are the chances of two dead hard drives? Anyway, long story short, I had two dead hard drives. Neither of them had SMART errors, though when I was searching around at the time I remember reading that Google reported about 60% of hard drive failures had SMART errors, so it was very common for them to not have any indication of failure before it happened.

      At least with Lemmy, there are a bunch of tech savy users to ask for help 🙂.
