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?
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 🙂.

Wild but in a bad way - not what I signed up for
I’m getting old and jaded - this was not in the plan?!?
