  • I have 4 old hard drives that I pulled from an old Drobo that needs to be trashed. I bought a Mediasonic 4-bay RAID enclosure that I thought would be a good upgrade, but knew going into that the drives may not work because the manual for the new enclosure specifically says to use new drives to avoid problems. The exact product is this Mediasonic one.

    While this would work isn’t it a bit time consuming compared to:

    wipefs --all /dev/sdX
    


  • It’s an old school log aggragating service that used to be how most *nix distros collected logs in years past. As I understand it was generally replaced by systemd’s journald service. The only times I encounter it in the wild is on legacy systems that couldn’t or refused to adapt and chances are they’re paying a lot cuz it’ll be a painful support experience. Oh and for some it can be a useful way to sync logs up to monitoring services like Splunk but it’s effectiveness is debatable.

    I agree with you 100% and highlighting text and choosing the new tab option isn’t always viable. I often have to copy text from outside the browser and paste it into the address bar, I really miss that feature of Chrome.

    Edit: why the down votes? He makes a fair point that some of you are disagreeing with without considering that there are those out there that use their browsers differently than yourself. Even if I used Firefox as my primary browser for the last 3 years I’m still able to be honest about my experience.

    This is the exact argument I’ve made to my wife with varying degrees of success: we literally listened to him outright admit to how much of a piece of shit he is in his lyrics and it’s weird to suddenly act like “omg! What a surprise!” when we’ve been singing his lyrics like “Me vs. Madonna vs. Everyone Else” off Deja Entendu since forever ago. And I’m generally pretty left-leaning with a low tolerance for rapey bullshit but come on guys.
