Hah, I had a Deathstar die on me back in the early 00s too. Surprisingly, about a decade later I hammered it with ddrescue and was able to get almost all the data off it!

For sure. I knew I had all the right ingredients to restore, and had kicked the tires 6 months back, but I initially copied over the wrong key. When it failed to load I had a sad moment until I realized my mistake. In such fail moments ther

I tested my backups about 6 months ago when I set up zrepl. When I mentioned it was scary until I could decrypt the data, that wasn't the whole story, actually: initially I restored the wrong wrapper key and it failed to load! It'

There's been a recent series of PRs which appear to be adding ZFS root support to subiquity, the new Ubuntu installer: https://github.com/canonical/subiquity/pull/1689

Unfortunately the drive didn't appear accessible at all via nvme-cli. Interestingly it shows up in lspci but doesn't get a /dev/nvme. It tends to hang the UEFIs of the two systems I tried it in when they try to read it.

I use Wireguard to secure and authenticate the transport. Much easier to set up! SSH is also an option.

Another factor to weigh in my case is this laptop probably spends at least 50% of its life suspended. The overhead should be measured in MB per hour of uptime.

Agreed. It was a large time investment that happened to pay off. If I ever have to do it again I'll be much faster. I hope that with wider ZFS adoption some of the routine tasks will be automated better in the future. I see no reason w

bupstash.io was my favored option other than ZFS. It's a beautiful and performant solution. Being filesystem agnostic is an advantage in many contexts. In the end I chose ZFS for the efficiency of snapshots (vs. a full disk scan) and a

I agree that it was unlikely. The total size of all data and snapshots was 625 GiB on a 2 TB drive (which had seen less than 2 years of moderate use). It was a pretty unexpected failure.

I've reflected similarly after this exercise. I've lost data before, but it felt terrible to lose my context and working memory. While I make sure the most important stuff is in git, there's a bunch of momentum and working me

I only lost 10 minutes of data, thanks to ZFS(mastodon.social)

As an Ardour subscriber and user for almost 2 decades, imagine my delight at seeing your reply! Thanks for all that you do.

This is a concept I often draw upon in programming. To understand or create something you must learn its true name. If you don't know what to call the thing you're creating, it's a sign to step back and take a broader view. A

I've written HTML for at least 20 years and far prefer the JSX syntax. It's simpler to learn and remember and has clearer whitespace behavior. JSX doesn't need to confirm to HTML5. Given the web's backwards compatibility

The repo I linked to has an example of shared files between Deno and Vite. I'm using import maps to have a consistent `@shared/types` module between both (as well as consistent names for the requisite imports)

Astro files contain markup and separators which are not valid Typescript. They also have a different execution model.

I trialed Deno for an HTTP+WS side project [1] and have been loving it. The simplicity of having Typescript built-in, the nice async APIs, and the sandbox permission system all make it a great choice for green field projects. I don't

> That's the job of traditional Linux distros. I share this view, but I also think it's very difficult to verify such validation is happening. I don't think most end users would want a distro stable enough to meet a high r

While I agree with this premise, taking an extreme view, practically all software which users routinely update are vulnerable to the first party / author being compelled to ship a harmful release. The lack of a distribution trust model

I found that very funny as well. Built a DIY edition with my dad a few days later. It makes more sense if you're bringing your own SSD or RAM, and even so I've found there's still some value in the DIY assembly process as an

There are many other apps affected by the API pricing which announced they'd shut down: Sync, Relay, Reddit is Fun, etc. Reddit cutting one (or five) sweetheart deals is unlikely to make this go away at this point, since the uproar is

I wonder how much this can be explained by Google having a larger sample size of outgoing clicks to measure.

If Node.js changed rapidly towards Deno we'd be back to folks complaining about JS fatigue. Both Node.js and Deno have strong reasons to exist. Node has a massive installed base that values slightly more stability at this point. Deno b
