... if you use them with disks larger than 2TB
This just happened to a friend of mine. He had two 3 TB disks in a RAID-1 configuration, attached to an older Marvell RAID controller. (But the manufacturer really doesn't matter). Suddenly Windows started complaining about being unable to access folders and then the disk completely went away. Disk management just shows it as "unformatted". However both disks report as OK. What happened?
The Teres-1 is an open-hardware, open-source notebook designed by Olimex in Bulgaria.
I recently got my Olimex Teres-1 and I must say I really like this small netbook. It doesn't have the fastest CPU, the most memory or best screen, but for most purposes it's good enough.

This alone makes it an amazing device.

Recently we set up a new VPN at work. The old Cisco Anyconnect VPN isn't well supported anymore, has lots of weird quirks and needs some extra steps to get going on Windows 10 ... so we are transitioning over to OpenVPN.
I was at home when I suddenly smelled burnt electronics. This is never a good sign, mostly because I was unable to pinpoint the source right away. Afraid of something slowly smoldering and catching fire I started going over to the breaker box to pull the main breaker for my whole flat - you know, just in case. On my way there I noticed my washing machine wasn't spinning anymore and all the LEDs were dark. So I investigated this first, and, surely enough, it broke :(
If you own domains you probably know those E-mails all too well ...
damn all cloud-hosted proprietary content management systems ...
The Echo Dot makes you feel like you live on the Enterprise or some other spaceship ... except ... in a weird alternate reality where you have to wander through dark corridors and turbolifts get stuck all the time
Early attempt to write my own operating system (or at least shell). This is part 2 of 3.
Early attempt to write my own operating system (or at least shell). I'm going to write three blog posts on various systems, this is the first one about the earliest one that survived
Comes with an App, batteries and lots of false advertising. Actually, a lot of the false advertising comes from so called tech "journalists" who also write about the great advancements "innovations" like Solar Roadways, the Batteriser and the Fontus Bottle bring to the world.
