I just needed a file from a #backup from 2012.
Always have backups.

UT2003 in 2020
I checked some old #backup disks of mine and found to my utmost joy a copy of my former #ut2003 installation. Well, #linuxgaming is hard because who can support 500 distributions, right? How comes this just works in 2020 on #Fedora 31? 😀
Backup from the past
Having a blast working my way through old #backup 💿s of mine. Some pre 2000. Most still work but some are gone so it’s about time to transfer the data to a more recent medium.
Backup all the things
Wow. ST3000NM0033 just 4.3 years shy came back with a 188 Command_Timeout of 60130459662.
This server houses either a vermin nest of some sort or someone fcked up plugging a gorram cable. Either way it’s pants on fire.
Update:
2nd act as #poem.
We complained.
They rejected,
no error to be detected.Bewildered we insisted,
and grumbling they assisted.They pulled out all the disks,
and concluded all at risk.Wait, what?
Only one was shut!Now we’ve none,
the raid is gone.Next is a letter we have to sign,
that loosing all our data is just fine.You wonder if we have a backup?
oc, always prepared for such a f… mess.
Beko Pharm
Sorry. I’m not used to this sort of chaos engineering.
A Raid Is No Backup
Raid 1 degraded today. The SSD percentage used value is 215% with a total of 598TB data units written. That’s fine I guess 😀
Friendly reminder to my not so tech savy fellows: It’s _when_ and not _whether_ hard disks die. No backup = no important data. A raid is not a backup.0

Friendly service reminder to my not so tech savvy fellows: It’s not whether but when harddisks die. No backup? No important data.
