I lost my home PC's ZFS pool to a kernel panic-inducing bit of corruption. The lone disk in the pool has spent nearly 21,000 hours (2.4 years) of its 3-year life spinning rust, & SMART tests passed.

The kernel panic on `zpool import` means I basically lost everything on the disk.

But my USB backup disk is fine (I tested) & current enough. I should be able to install a new disk, install FreeBSD on it, & zfs send/recv my snapshots, I think.

Current status: The half of "backup and restore" nobody likes to think about.

Uptime is good for Linux, but it turns out uptime isn't so good for Ruby on Rails.

@mcc I thought this was going to end as a joke for how we, like crabs, evolve to use shells

There's a kind of command line carcinization where computer people especially Linux people gradually gravitate to command line workflows because especially on Linux there's just too many times you open the GUI tool, get halfway through the task, and then realize the GUI tool can't actually do what you need and you need to start over with the command line version. When this happens enough times you just go to the command line first rather than potentially waste your time

For the 40th Anniversary of "Elite", Ian Bell has released the source codes for the Apple, Atari, C64, and NES versions of the game for free.

He also released the source for the unfinished SNES and BBC ports. A very cool gift for such a pioneering space sim.

I'm so out of touch that, until I saw his name in writing, I thought Stan Lee was just some joe named Stanley whose last name everyone just knew.

IDK if this is common knowledge, or even if any other instances do this, but at least on my instance you can drag just about any masto URL into the search box, press enter, and get the post or profile as the search result.

I saw a 2024 Tesla Cybertruck for the first time with my own eyes while on foot today. It was almost new, yet it looked older, rattier, and rustier than my well-worn 1991 Mazda B2200.

If I didn't know better, I would've thought it was a redneck engineering job made from scrapyard parts, not something people with too much money paid thousands of dollars and dozens of months in waiting to buy into.

> Hey, should we have a glyph for a pointing finger?
Absolutely
> What about filled and outlined triangle?
Sure, but make them all different sizes.
> What about arrows?
Yeah, make tons but never a full set pointing in all directions. I'm talking seven 3D arrows but they all face right.
> Dominos?
Fuckin' all of them, man. Horizontal and vertical. Let's take that part seriously.
