Post Originaly from https://bsky.app/profile/fjox.win/post/3mofs2frbvs2v at 2026 06 16
my server had been down for like 5 days now. Now im stuck on this stupid place and don't even have acces to my nas. Then I found out I spend the last day and a half copying the wrong drive with ddrescue. Im soo done with this shit. I have decade old hard drives but ask a ssd to do more then 3 years hell no. I want a server that could run forever if electricity is provided. Ssds make it impossible. 3 months of 15 vms that probably didn't even do 500gb per day in total killed a drive that supposed to have a rw capacity of 2400 tb. Also I hate bluesky with its stupid twitter like post limit of 500. My mastodon had a limit of 65536. You could write a small book with that. And now that I have to copy shit with ddrescue again but instead of getting the same or better performance since its a ssd copying to a USB harddrive compared to a USB harddrive to the same USB harddrive its 30 times slower at peak. And that USB harddrive is 1tb bigger. now some might say just use the last backup. Well to even acces ir i need a vm on that ssd because nobody plans that ssd especially one from a reputable brand like samsung dies after 4 months of use. Even if mine was rather extreme compared to the usual use of one of them. it's ridiculousthat only 50 bad sectors and a passed smart test causes all the data to be inaccessible. Also the expectationthat I have backups that can survivea nuke is unrealistic. If i had the money i wouldn't use decade old hardware. Now you might say just play video games on your gaming pc. Well i don't have one, all my desktops are on my server and the only other computer that could game properly is copying the drive. I pirated gamesI alreadyown on a laptop for just to play some shitty DM for a dozen mins. This thread is probablybecoming longer then any serious post I made on the fediverse. Anyways now that i dont have a ssd for vms ig i gotta use a dozen decade old hard drives from the discard pile of a graphics design studio since im broke and you cant run multiple windows on a single harddrive cause that shit fucking lagggs. Im so done with this shit, i can even torture myself by editing long overdue videos and ive watched so many video essays that I can't watch anymore. I might just start looking on ebay for like epyc Rome shit or something. HAHA I GOT IT TO COPY AT 135MB/s. So now it's done at 0000... great. STILL BETTER THEN 10 DAYS HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHS OR THE PREVIOUS DAY AND THEN SOME ONTOP JAHAHHAHAHSHSHDHDHHDJDJFHDJDJDJDHHFJDJDJDHDJJFHDHDHFHNFJFNJDJFKFJFJDJDHFH it wasn't done, ddrescuetime calc sucks ass like it's not gonna be like 12 hours instead of 8... all the copying was fine no errors ddrescue didn't see any faulty sectors and yet all my data is shot. I can't boot truenas nor can I extract the config of it.

Backups en Frío ❄️ vs. En Caliente 🔥: Diferencias radicales
En Frío (Offline): El sistema se apaga. Cero riesgo de datos corruptos, pero implica tiempo de inactividad total.
En Caliente (Online): El sistema sigue vivo y operando. No hay pausas para los usuarios, pero es más complejo de configurar para evitar inconsistencias.
¡Disponibilidad continua contra máxima seguridad de datos!

Another long shot, but anyone know anything about HDD repair, or anyone that would?
I've been spending some time trying to do archaeology on my 20+ year old hard disk drives to find out some of the old stuff I've made. This one drive from ~2001 seems to be a mostly dead, and I'm trying to figure out if I can make an image out of it before it's all dead.
I managed to get the read head off the plate to get a drive unstuck, and managed to read partition table before returning to the "nothing seems to work" again. I managed to `dd` 8k off the drive to read at least the partition table, which seems to be intact.
Now the disk spins but the read head seems to be just moving back and forth and clanking into the "idle tray" (I don't know what it's called) without touching the disk when it spins now. Is there something I can do with this?

Ok, this is probably a long shot, but I found an old HDD disk drive I had when I was kid (the date 13.1.96 is written on the disk), and while USB to IDE adapter did manage to spin up the disk, it didn't manage to allow me to `dd` data out of the disk (it fails with no medium found).
Anyone have any idea how I could access whatever is on that disk?

During a busy release weekend, a planned failover exposed not technical flaws, but something more familiar: misaligned teams, unclear responsibilities, and communication that didn’t quite arrive when it should have. Production stayed safe — but confidence took a hit.
This episode dives into how a “simple test” turned into a coordination challenge, and why resilience is just as much about people and processes as it is about systems.

Ich werde zur #EH23 meinen mini-PC zum Retten und Archivieren von Optischen Medien (mit LibreDrive) mitbringen. Habs soeben auch auf die Dating Seite geschrieben. Also falls jemand Interesse hat, einfach mit Medien vorbei kommen :)
Wäre jedoch gut, wenn jemand noch einen guten Flachbettscanner mitbringen könnte um die Bilder auf den Disks, sowie die Microcodes auf der Unterseite, etc. mit Digitalisieren zu können.
