this is so f'in cursed i... what....

@catsalad Those Acer Ferrari laptops are so cool!!

@catsalad Well that's just delightfully unholy.

@catsalad nice RAID 1

@catsalad the Ferrari laptop sells it.

@catsalad Given that you can buy 1TB Micro SD cards now, why doesn't someone make a RAID system out of them?

@catsalad We also don't need Kubernetes, as we have Containers at home.

@catsalad „how do you install it?“ – „Sunny side up.“

@catsalad I did the same thing with USB Zip drives when I was in college. (The NAS failed quite frequently.)

@catsalad I had one of those very USB drives as conference swag. They were so cheap they were almost lighter than air.

@catsalad not bad XD

@catsalad sadly I cannot find the video anymore where the picture is from. It's one of my most loved YouTube classics. ❤️

@catsalad raidz11

@catsalad and it doesn't need the damned sun storagetek management software that has now evaporated

@catsalad Wait, isn’t this a screenshot of this funny „ZFS on USB sticks“ video back from 2012?

EDIT: 2011 🫠

@catsalad and yet, still better than the real thing.

@catsalad Scary thing is I spent several years in the early 2000s working on a Sun NAS: about 8ft tall, 3ft deep and 12ft long and stored a massive 3Tb...Which is what that zip tied USB monstrosity probably can handle in the size of the SCSI connectors that had to be used.

@catsalad you've got a whole 6 free bays in there

@catsalad perhaps a few details - I keep thinking about building a cluster from old cell phones & memory sticks, wondering what it is that you've assembled there - hardware, software, etc!

@catsalad Not going to lie, I quite like the look of that Ferrari laptop.

@catsalad@hackers.town what is this ​:mumei_flushed:​

@catsalad coming soon on Linus Tech Tips

"I built a 2 PB production server from USB sticks, some string, and cello tape"

This is so cursed

@catsalad Wow, that throws me back in time when I was a junior sysadmin at my first job.

@catsalad NAS without the NA

@catsalad

It’s a little spooky to think you can buy computer on a chip something like a raspberry pi was more power than the old sun works stations, or rack mounted units

@catsalad 💀

@catsalad 😂

@catsalad i feel seen

@catsalad I like your Ferrari

@catsalad way faster, more reliable, energy saving and of higher capacity than the 3,5" #Floppy #RAID that @ActionRetro once did.

@catsalad Neat. How much space is on that?

@catsalad Sun: 😢

@catsalad surely the ferrari laptop makes it faster too????

@catsalad I have unironically always wanted to do something like this.
