PBS broadcaster loses access to 50TB of data comprising 70 years of TV history after contracted cloud storage vendor goes defunct — public TV channel sues Iron Mountain data center, which hosts archival materials, to ensure preservation

Ground squirrels have apparently decided that plastic storage containers are merely suggestions, not actual barriers, and they have been chewing their way through them. I now store the birds’ peanuts in a metal can instead.

#TechTipThursday: when your #storage is full and you have no idea what ate it. df tells you the partition is at 100 percent. It doesn't tell you exactly where. For that, install ncdu and run it on the directory you want to inspect:

ncdu /var

It scans the disk and gives you an interactive, sorted view of what's taking up space. Arrow keys to move around, enter to drop into a folder, and you drill straight down to the giant log file or the forgotten backup that filled the drive.

"Free" lunch solves the monetary problem:

Instead of #BigTech charging for #storage and #services, it's given "free" (someone else is paying)...

This logic can by-pass even the cleverest people's logic in not asking:

?--> "Why is it free?" and
?--> "What is the long-term implications of using those people and putting my data there?"

SK hynix to expand production capacity in China as it mulls Solidigm IPO, report claims — second phase of fab could boost local production by 50%

okay okay fine I'll replace that disk geez, silly zfs, it only has like *checks notes* 3.09 MILLION checksum errors! but SMART says it's fine so it must be fine obviously.

(nb: it COULD be an error in the cabling or controller of course, but I've already reseated everything so I don't think that's the issue. It's just.. a great example of why you need more than SMART and prayers to keep your data healthy)

Classification And Conceptualization Of Karst Recharge Processes Through Spectral And Change Point Analysis Of Drip Water Dynamics

“… [The authors] analysed one year of drip water monitoring data from 46 monitoring sites across six karst regions in southeastern Australia. By integrating fast Fourier analysis, cross-wavelet transform and change point analysis, [they] identified five characteristic recharge behaviours and developed a conceptual framework linking temporal drip dynamics with recharge mechanisms. [They] hope this framework will contribute to a better understanding of recharge heterogeneity in karst systems and support future groundwater research under a changing climate…”

Чему меня научили десятки AI-агентов: как я в качестве эксперимента написал хранилище Blockstor

Пару месяцев назад я решил провести эксперимент и сделать с нуля clean-room имплементацию LINSTOR , используя его референсы и публичные API-типы. Изначально эта идея зародилась как пятничная шутка: я просто хотел уделить этой задаче минимум времени, запустить ее на фоне и посмотреть, к чему это приведёт. Целью было просто проверить, насколько современные нейросети способны к автономной работе без участия человека. Спойлер: полностью автономной работы не получилось, и мне пришлось достаточно сильно повозиться над проектом. Однако в итоге процесс меня затянул с головой и конечный результат превзошёл все мои ожидания.

SMB Is Mandatory Now: What macOS Dropping the AFP Client Means for Storage Engineers ― Mitaka Digital | DEV Community

https://dev.to/mitakadigital/smb-is-mandatory-now-what-macos-dropping-the-afp-client-means-for-storage-engineers-46p0

"For four decades, the Apple Filing Protocol quietly underwrote every "just works" file-sharing experience in the Apple ecosystem. That era has ended. Apple deprecated the AFP client in macOS Sequoia 15.5, carried a removal warning through macOS 26 Tahoe, and shipped the macOS 27 "Golden Gate" developer beta with no AFP client at all. If your storage estate still serves Mac clients over afp://, the compatibility gap is live today, not on a future roadmap. …"
