@hugh@ausglam.space today we have better languages, better tools, better libraries and today's Frank would be far more productive.

@bert_hubert a new apple id under some sort of witness protection programme is probably your best bet.

@mcc@mastodon.social So it's stable enough but it does have some issues with database files which don't do well with the btrfs data model, leading to massive fragmentation.

@gloriouscow@oldbytes.space it's dead then. No way someone needed a ½W resistor in a megaohm range.
Yellow is 25ppm/°C

@mcc@mastodon.social @whitequark@social.treehouse.systems I've worn out I think three sets of HGST disks on btrfs over the years and have had little problems.

@mcc@mastodon.social for a single backup disk you would probably be better off with xfs or ext4 simply because there's no need for the btrfs special features.

@tove@social.tovelago.se that set of parts will be fine to 1mF or so at rectified mains voltage (~300V).
The main risk here is from accidentally touching something conducive, so if your old multimeter leads are Cat III (typically have caps on the probe tips to minimise exposed metal) that's probably good.
You might put the resistor in a little enclosure with two 4mm sockets to avoid the heat shrink wrapped resistor.

@azonenberg@ioc.exchange 1000s of bits is totally fine in Fusion and Design Compiler. Stick to basic types and (multidimensional) arrays of them. Structured types were a disaster.

@mcc@mastodon.social @whitequark@social.treehouse.systems No data loss except once I ended up having a directory that would crash the os if accessed. I had been migrating file systems with DD onto new disks since the first usable versions of btrfs. Eventually on the next set of disks (maybe 8 years ago) I did a clean mkfs and never had any problems since.

@gloriouscow@oldbytes.space maybe that's a brown band on the left. Then we'd have 16.5 ohms which at least is in the normal E96 resistor series. Maybe yellow as a nonstd tolerance or maybe it's a tempco.
Either way the value is small and you should be able to measure it in-circuit to get a feel for it's value.

@mcc@mastodon.social @petrillic@hachyderm.io @whitequark@social.treehouse.systems btrfs will allow you multiple copies of your data and metadata on a single disk.
It might protect against some disk issues, but probably not that many. SSDs will just stop working altogether on controller or dram failure and lose all of the disk at once.
I hope you are aware that SSDs are not recommended to be kept unpowered - the 10 year data retention relies on scrubbing that happens only when the power is on.

@sortius@infosec.exchange it's a standard IEC 60906-1, nice and compact with good ground pin, and fits ungrounded plugs.
Only downside is that the cable usually comes out straight and not at a 90° angle like the UK plug (which avoids bending the wire).

@mcc@mastodon.social except if you're backing up a btrfs to btrfs. It then becomes possible to make snapshots on the master and then stream those to the backup, recreating snapshots there.

@gloriouscow@oldbytes.space 5.6 ohms, if that's a gold multiplier band, but then I'm confused about the yellow. The other way up makes no sense.
