4·3 days agoA podcast about the collapse of civilizations throughout history.
Why do civilizations collapse? What happens afterwards? And what did it feel like to watch it happen?
The original podcast episodes have been set to high-quality video of the area being discussed and whatever remains of the civilization are possible to capture on video.
The discussion of what we know about these dead civilizations and what happened to them is really fascinating.
Or maybe an immortal woman with magical healing abilities.
I recommend getting familiar with SMART and understanding what the various attributes mean and how they affect a drive’s performance and reliability. You may need to install smartmontools to interact with SMART, though some Linux distributions include this by default.
Some problems reported by SMART are not a big deal at low rates (like Soft Read Errors) but enterprise organizations will replace them anyway. Sometimes drives are simply replaced at a certain number of Power-On Hours, regardless of condition. Some problems are survivable if they’re static, like Uncorrectable Sector Count - every drive has some overhead of extra sectors for internal redundancy, so one bad sector isn’t a big deal , but if the number is increasing over time then you have a problem and should replace the drive immediately.
Also keep in mind, hard drives are consumables. Mirroring and failovers are a must if your data is important. New drives fail too. There’s nothing wrong with buying used if you’re comfortable with drive’s condition.
