In-reply-to » iTerm2 now has ChatGPT integration 🚮 https://iterm2.com/news.html

@movq@www.uninformativ.de ugh! I mean, it doesn’t need to be used, but I am sure it adds bloat to the application. I would have liked it more if it allowed integration with a locally running engine, like ollama.

In-reply-to » Today's project: Put 2 failing hard drives in RAID 0 and boot from it. What could go wrong?

@prologic@twtxt.net No pain here. There’s no important data on them, and the first portion of the drives work reliably enough that there weren’t any issues before I had to shelf it. This is just for fun. I don’t even think I’d consider it a war game.

@mckinley@mckinley.cc It booted. I was going to do more but I had actual work to do so I shelved it. Maybe I’ll come back to it another time. These drives are in really bad shape, though. They hold up udev by 30-60 seconds on every boot, even when booting the Arch install ISO, covering the console with lots of SATA errors and timeouts I don’t really understand.

Badblocks via mkfs.ext4 -cc was taking too long on the full 1+1 TB array so I made new 250 GB partitions and neither drive had bad blocks in that range so it was just a waste of time. Maybe if I come back to it I’ll do the full array and have the EFI system partition in RAID 1 just for fun. I didn’t know that worked with software RAID.

The key part is to use –metadata 1.0 in order to keep the RAID metadata at the end of the partition, otherwise the firmware will not be able to access it.

I had the ESP on a USB stick for simplicity’s sake.

In-reply-to » Oh dear, I got plenty of spam – if not even worse – on one of my jabber IDs. One sender JID was on exploit.net or exploit.im or something like that (I already forgot).

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t know. I thought that I had to accept beeing added to the contact list before somebody could message me, but apparently, that’s not the case. Let’s see how that unfolds.

In-reply-to » Two mates and I went on a 25km hike yesterday to the Wasserberg (lit. Water Mountain) and Fuchseck (lit. Fox Corner) on the edge of the Swabian Alb. They arrived by train and of course it was delayed by half an hour, "due to limited availability of tracks". That was a first one, I never heard that reason before. Another train had a breakdown in a train station and later my mates' train had to be rebooted, too. That restart alone took 10 minutes. O_o Software problem, it can't be helped.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ah ja, der Holgi. ;-)
