February Photoblogging Challenge, Day 18: Space. The storage space I had on my NAS is not looking good.

One drive in my NAS reported SMART errors. I replace it. While rebuilding the RAID array with the new disk in place I’m notified of major errors on another disk. What are the odds? Will the RAID array be able to rebuild successfully? It’s currently at 41%. 😥

🔗 Link Post: "Boeing 737 Max: debris found in fuel tanks of grounded planes"

The Guardian:

“Boeing has ordered inspections of its entire fleet of grounded 737 Max planes after it found debris in the fuel tanks of some of the aircraft, in the latest setback for the US plane-maker”

Boeing seems to have forgotten the key tenets of lean manufacturing, especially the part about fixing problems at the source and not passing faults up the chain.

It used to be said that, “if it’s not Boeing, I’m not going”. Nowadays, I feel more comfortable with Airbus.

I met a guy who used to work for Nashua. Immediately I recalled the days where if you wanted to secure your quality Amiga 500 warez you would buy Nashua floppy’s.

One of the drives in my ancient NAS is dying. I’m going to have to replace it. What I want now though is a ThunderBay RAID enclosure to directly connect. I’m sick of network drives.

🔗 Link Post: "Donald Trump, the view across the pond"
Paul J. Miller:

“Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.

And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.”

Paul offers some thoughts and insights regarding Trump, from a British perspective. I think the Australian view is similar, but members of our society are more likely to say, “well, what else would you expect from a Seppo¹?” Disparaging critique is a key element of our culture.
Seppo, short for septic tank, which rhymes with Yank, which is slang for an American citizen. ^[return]

I was a user of Overcast from launch until last year. I switched to Castro and it’s inbox feature to help with podcast overwhelm. Now I’m trying Overcast again mainly because of boredom.
