Talking with the folks in the local #vintage / #retrocomputing community, they clued me in that the #ThinkPad #RAID is a steaming pile of 💩 and not worth the trouble.

🤷 Oh well. Thanks for cluing me in

So I swapped out the two testing #NVMe drives I was using and reinstalled the original sticks - to have #windoz10 demanding for the #bitlocker recovery key. 🤦‍♂️

Well, time to wipe & install #windoz11 then.

Install went fine, only 4 rando #drivers to find for all #devices to be recognized and working.

Using my #CTT scripts to install the majority of applications, then to remove the #spyware #bloatware and other garbage #micro$oft added to #windows11

Then migrate my #data from my other ThinkPad. Welcome to my #sunday #funday

Ok, I spent yesterday afternoon trying to get #RAID configured on my #lenovo #ThinkPad #P70 - to no success.

I found this video youtube.com/watch?v=AyCC1NGe8a of the similar #p50 and configuring #RAID which shows the #BIOS interface but my P70's only show the "non-raid physical discs" I do not have an option for RAID volumes. Note I have upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version on lenovo's web site. Any thoughts?

I have attached 2 #screenshots of what the BIOS displays - I'm trying to configure the RAID on the two 512GB #NVMe sticks.

Hello, #worldbackupday!

Today, March 31, is World Backup Day once again. As is now a modern tradition, we need a special day to draw attention to an important topic: World Backup Day is once again a reminder of the importance of data backups and security - and, especially in these times, in terms of encryption.

Yesterday's fallow canal section was a 10-minute walk. Half already has the water restored. The weir (in the previous post) is in good shape because volunteers worked on it. The dry canal bed still looks bad. See the photo ALT text.

What's involved to undo a 1950s decision to stop maintaining a canal, sell off adjacent land, fill it in, and build roads on it? You can read about the challenges on the work-crew blog:
lhcrt.org.uk/category/blogs/

A photo of a construction site: a lot of reddish dirt with a trench dug through it, and a few sections of brick wall. That's where the canal was. The equipment in the trench – a yellow portable cement mixer and a green portable water tank – indicates the small scale of the project. This is being restored by hand. It's a labour of love that will give Lichfield a linear aquatic park, with trees, benches, and a towpath for walking and cycling on.

"Happy #WorldWetlandsDay! 💧

"Today, let’s celebrate the central role of #wetlands in our lives!

"They increase resilience to #ClimateChange, support #biodiversity, filter water & contribute to #foodsecurity.

"Preserving & restoring wetlands is essential to limit severe flooding from heavy rainfall."

Down: 4 squares to illustrate how wetlands degradation contributes to floods: 1) a river and a marsh, with natural soils; 2) channelization of the river and drainage of the marsh ; 3) land conversion to urban areas and agriculture; 4) heavy rain causes severe flooding.

Next week I'm taking queering ecologies and marine ecology to a conference in London, and then the weekend of, I'm off to Bristol to headline-poet about queer grief...the 2 have a lot of overlap as much as that seems odd: self reflection and dissection of character = possibility of reimagination... #queering #ecologies #nature #wildlife #futures #coastal #ecosystems #regeneration #systemthinking #restore #environment #trans #brown #woman

@ai6yr nodds in agreement

I work as a #sysadmin and whilst this may not sound exciting, it's kinda necessary, as one's the #janitor, #cleaner, garbage collector, #maid and #librarian together.

So yeah, #documentation, #backup & #restore ain't exciting but they need to fucking work, so in the worst case one can just follow the checklist of instructions.

  • It's like firefighting: You learn, train and stay prepared so that there ain't casualties at all...

@bsi ganz einfach: #Govware wie #Windows hat bei mir konsequent #Hausverbot und es wird Zeit dass dies die Norm wird!

#CrowdStroke ist nur wegen #ValueRemoving #Malware mit Kernel-Rechte und verkackter #Sicherheit und Stabilität von Winfows möglich gewesen!!!

Ich erwarte von Regulierern wie dem #BSI das diese das genauso ernst nehmen wie die #EASA #Flugsicherheit, denn spätestens bei Klinik-IT kann sowas extrem schnell sehr hässlich werden!

Warum wird für fast jedes #Gebäude #Brandschutz borgeschrieben inkl. jährlicher Prüfung aber nichtmals jährlich Backup, Prüfung der Backups & Wiederherstellung ais diesen von null auf???

"Threatening to cancel votes":

Florida officials allege fraud to kneecap abortion rights amendment

The last-minute report threatens to "cancel" votes for an amendment to restore abortion rights in the state

In a last-minute effort ❌to kill a proposed ballot amendment that would #restore #abortion #rights in Florida, state officials are accusing a group that gathered signatures to get the amendment on this year's ballot fraud.
Florida Deputy Secretary of State #Brad #McVay claimed in a 348-page report released on Friday night that "Floridians Protecting Freedom" paid out-of-state petition circulators to harvest fraudulent signatures. That group that gathered nearly 1 million signatures for the abortion rights effort. 
The report alleges that “more than 20” of the 911,000 signatures were from now-deceased Floridians.
Florida law allows voters to add amendments to the state constitution directly, if 60% of voters agree with a given proposal.
⚠️Though the election is just three weeks away and ballots have been printed, challenges to the amendment could invalidate votes cast for the initiative. 
🔥Governor Ron DeSantis’ administration has worked hard to kneecap the rights-restoring proposal,
💥reportedly sending state troopers to interrogate petition signers and threatening to prosecute television stations that run ads supporting the measure.
🆘On Thursday, state's Supreme Court ruled DeSantis was not abusing his powers in his attacks on the amendment. 
⭐️Florida Democrats warn that the report is just another tactic aimed at killing the effort to repeal the state's DeSantis-enacted six-week abortion ban.

As usual, I forgot to take a before picture of this plant stand I restored. It had a copper finish with much darker green patina that was coming off in sheets. A third of the top had a dark layer of rust. The first picture is after I stripped it and sanded down the rust. I didn't sand it perfectly as I still wanted the look of age. The second photo is after the restoration. #DIY #Maker #restore #refinish

A plant stand with cast iron legs and a rusted steel top that has been sanded down in preparation for restoration. There is a relief pattern of leaves on the steel top.
The same table after coatings of Rust Restore, primer and copper imbedded paint. There is a light patina of verdegris over the copper in a pale green.

@Saupreiss das bestreite ich auch nicht!

Wenn alle #Sysadmins ihre "#DueDiligence" bei #Updates gewaltet hätten, wäre all das nie passiert!

IMHO ist ja gerade jene #QA und 24/7 Support der Grund für ne gute Distro zu zahlen...

Nondeterministic ComputerMatthew Garrett (@mjg59@nondeterministic.computer)"Linux would have prevented this!" literally true because my former colleague KP Singh wrote a kernel security module that lets EDR implementations load ebpf into the kernel to monitor and act on security hooks and Crowdstrike now uses that rather than requiring its own kernel module that would otherwise absolutely have allowed this to happen, so everyone please say thank you to him

• Revert #HerdAreas to active HMA status to #restore the habitat that has been arbitrarily taken away from wild horses since the 1971 #WildFreeRoamingHorsesAndBurrosAct was passed. This is in accordance with the Act's mandate to protect wild horses “where presently found as an integral part of the natural system of the #PublicLands.”

• Reduce or eliminate commercial #livestock grazing within wild horse HMAs. The BLM is legally mandated to #protect wild horses,
