I'm glad that the developers of #ZFS made it easy to replace a faulted disk with a fresh one, without data loss or downtime. In a few hours, this should switch from DEGRADED back to ONLINE.

Update: this session’s school library book ban bill- SB 13 - has been added to the calendar for Monday. 😩

The problem I have with putting effort into almost any social media platform anymore is that the cycle of #enshittification will follow every single one. It’s free now because it’s trying to get me so hooked that when it sucks later, it’s hard to leave
