I have 4 old hard drives that I pulled from an old Drobo that needs to be trashed. I bought a Mediasonic 4-bay RAID enclosure that I thought would be a good upgrade, but knew going into that the drives may not work because the manual for the new enclosure specifically says to use new drives to avoid problems. The exact product is this Mediasonic one.

While this would work isn’t it a bit time consuming compared to:

wipefs --all /dev/sdX

Bloodletting? What is this, old timey medicine? “Looks like ya got ghosts in your blood, better do cocaine about it”

Yeah well America decided it was time for the B-team to take the wheel so this is the kinda shit we have to look forward to… Again…

And Peter Jackson? Turns out he was filming the whole thing!

It’s an old school log aggragating service that used to be how most *nix distros collected logs in years past. As I understand it was generally replaced by systemd’s journald service. The only times I encounter it in the wild is on legacy systems that couldn’t or refused to adapt and chances are they’re paying a lot cuz it’ll be a painful support experience. Oh and for some it can be a useful way to sync logs up to monitoring services like Splunk but it’s effectiveness is debatable.

We need a new aid package that includes a metric crap load of our surplus military diesel generators for the population. Adding in some battery and solar storage solutions wouldn’t hurt either.

So are we gonna talk about the full kit with track pants?

The orb is nothing, the orb is all things.

How do you avoid “hoarding”?

Looks at my 28TB storage array that’s 3/4 full…

D3 to E4

I don’t get it
