@mckinley@twtxt.net Ahh I see 👍

@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 Ouch sounds painful 😢 Any data loss so far, or still trying to recover any data at all? 🤔

@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.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Good idea to follow @Yarns@search.twtxt.net 🤣

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Ahh yes 👌

Hmm 🧐

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Which are? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net Probably not! But don’t plan around me for sure 🙂

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net

They’re upset that they don’t get to spy on private information because they used an ephemeral channel to send it?
Are they upset because they erased the white boards too?

@mckinley No worries 👍

@prologic I can’t really commit to that. Don’t plan anything around me.

@thecanine Ok 👌

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I wondered that too but I’m not sure now hmmm🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m not sure. I never had an Apple device and when this app was briefly broken by Android updates, I sadly wasn’t able to find any good alternative, other than emulating an older version of Android, until a fix came out.

It does worry me a little, because it is this one developer hobby project, that is not opensource, that my ability to properly draw pixelart, relies upon.

@prologic@twtxt.net if you go into the “ART menu” and click /pixel-art/, you get the main folder, where it can all be browsed by file names, but currently without a preview.

If you want more of a gallery thing, check out the backup sites listed under it (also in the “ART menu”, of the main site). Currently you can choose between NextCloud, Gdrive, OneDrive and TeraBox - NextCloud is probably the most accessible option.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That is bloody lovely👌

💡 Does anyone have any ideas for how to combat SPAM submissions to feeds.twtxt.net – An RSS/Atom -> Twtxt feed conversation service. Hmm? 🧐

@thecanine Btw… Do you have a web (ideally) based gallery view of your pixel art work here somewhere? 🤔

Ahh damn 😢 Can you recommend anything for iOS / iPadOS or even Web? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net Thank you. I’m using Pixel Station. I can’t recommend it enough for this kind of pixelart, but it’s only available for Android.

K i l l m e n o w 🤣

@thecanine Hey! That’s really cute 🥰 Please share with me again, what do you use for drawing pixel art? I wanna see if my daughter is interested in this 🤔

The first and hopefully not last thing I drew this year (drawn yesterday). Kinda minimalistic and Scribble Kibble inspired.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I guess not 🤣
