Brian Swetland<p>zfs on linux tip: use serialno based device names *not* /dev/sd# labels that are dynamically assigned (like say due to slightly different disk spin-up rates at boot).</p><p>If you fail to do that, zfs unmount POOL, zpool export POOL, zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-id/ POOL can get you fixed up.</p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/zfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>zfs</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/oops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>oops</span></a></p>

For that age group, the most popular party leader is the possible leader of a party that doesn't yet exist. Worse still for Sir Kid Starver, the person who soundly outpolled him is the former leader who was smeared out of office. <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/oops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>oops</span></a></p><p>Net approval with 16/17 year olds:<br>Corbyn +16 <br>Davey +3 <br>Denyer +3<br>Starmer +1 <br>Badenoch -2<br>Farage -6</p><p>from <a href="https://x.com/LeftieStats/status/1945818083861442738" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">x.com/LeftieStats/status/19458</span><span class="invisible">18083861442738</span></a></p>

Earlier to day I gave my work/ham radio desk a quick dust wipe, and didn't notice that the dust rag had rotated the volume knob up to maximum. Cue dramatic ominous music.

A short time ago I turned my radio on and its big speaker BLEW MY HEAD COMPLETELY OFF.

Using my Heil headset from now on will be problematic....

#Confession time...

I spent ten minutes wondering why I was having such trouble cutting a trace on one of my custom protoboard PCBs - was my knife too dull? Was there something wrong with the board I'm using? Is it connected somewhere that I'm forgetting about?

I looked at everything multiple times, probing and getting the BEEEEEP of the continuity mode on my meter.

And then realized the trace *was* successfully severed, it's just it was jumped by a resistor that was only 11 ohms, which is under the threshold my meter considers "continuous". 🙄
