00:25:26<systwi_>Doranwen: I'm sorry to hear about that; I send my condolences. Re: "stuff is ridiculously sluggish [on one of my disks]," I likewise concur that the need for a replacement of that slow disk is imminent.
00:25:54<Doranwen>unmounting the one failed disk did speed transfers up elsewhere, at least
00:26:24<Doranwen>went from 50 kB/s to 40 MB/s, lol
00:26:53<Doranwen>but yeah, I've bought entirely new sets of backup drives for everything - going to go to two sets for everything, so I alternate between
00:27:46<Doranwen>except for the Yahoo Groups stuff, for which I just bought an actual set of backups (I hadn't had the $$ to buy backups for them when I bought the originals)
00:27:59<Doranwen>hopefully they'll last me until everything's sorted and uploaded
00:30:09<systwi_>Ah, yep. I've seen system slowdown like that quite often. Failing disks can hang an entire OS until they've been physically disconnected, jeesh!
00:30:40<systwi_>I'm glad you didn't lose any data and that you have backup drives on hand. :-)
00:31:06<systwi_>Out of curiosity, what are the failing disk models/manufacturers and approx. date of manufacture? I have a handful of _old_ disks that I've feared are nearing the ends of their lifespans.
00:31:37<systwi_>*dates of manufacture

01:06:32<systwi_>Thanks for the tip, Clownflare:
01:06:34<systwi_>"Did you know botnets can be used to shutdown popular websites?"
01:06:44<systwi_>Although, let me make a small correction:
01:07:06<systwi_>"Did you know botnets can be used to save popular websites when they're shutting down?"
01:07:17<@JAA>:-)
01:07:19<systwi_>(and our service keeps you from doing so lol)
01:07:35<systwi_>Hehehe
01:12:14<systwi_>Nice to see a message like this:

02:33:59<Doranwen>systwi_: the ones recently failing have nearly all been Western Digital (as that's mainly what I have, other than one old Seagate drive) - and I couldn't tell you *when* I got them, as it was definitely years ago
02:34:15Doranwen is not surprised that they eventually failed, but wishes they wouldn't have all failed in such quick succession, lol

03:22:28<@JAA>In case anyone ever needs it: Instagram's post IDs are base64url. Some other frontends use the decimal IDs, so it's sometimes necessary to do the conversion.

18:08:09<TheTechRobo>I _really_ wish Rust supported using the `as` keyword for non-primitive types.
18:08:33<TheTechRobo>Think about the syntax! `return "404 Not Found" as error404`! If only...
