The drive case itself didn’t, though. The server, air around the components within its case, the air around the server within the rack, the rack, and the other ferrous materials in the room are what provide enough interference to prevent bit flipping on the disk for the most part. This is assuming a reasonable source of magnetic radiation and not a massive bench power supply on a crash cart powering a rolling EMP. (Of course, I’m being hyperbolic, and it would really just be a more powerful electromagnet and not an EMP)

An electromagnet or even in some cases, a powerful enough rare earth magnet exposed to the drives themselves, or left in proximity to a single computer for an extended period of time can cause destructive data loss to a spinning platter hard disk.

A hard drive can be corrupted by minimal exposure to a basic electromagnet like a CRT degaussing coil, even without exposing the platters.

It would do nothing, however, in a server environment filled with racks, raised floors, and lots of barriers between a person and the drives. You’d still need to pass the coil over the drives themselves, while nearly making contact for several seconds to a minute to cause any significant data loss.

But what if I’m interested in your opinion, MAGA idiot? Please dance for me. I want to see your gymnastics routine.

The letters look pretty, but he never learned how to read. He’d be pretty upset if he could, though, so probably for the best.

Commented on another thread - Rising costs, inflation, stagnant wages, a pandemic, and the specter of Long COVID. Not to mention that the country is so relentlessly polarized that nearly everyone I know is reluctant to let anyone new into their circle for fear of learning that new person has been duped into supporting literal fascist Nazis. We’re exhausted and we don’t want to argue all the time.

With Cheeto Benito and the Brown Shirts in office, there’s a palpable tension in nearly every interaction right now. It’s only going to get worse, until eventually we will either have to start socializing in the form of local community organizing or we’ll rapidly find that we no longer have a hope of a future for ourselves.

For a nation typically sitting firmly in dumb, fat, and happy territory, this is a level of existentialism that none of us are accustomed to. Unless of course you’re Black or maybe Latino, in which case you probably know what’s up.

Expert level sounding.

Get fucked, traitors.

But those inexpensive phones most often don’t deliver a comparable device experience to the flagship devices. Honestly, this is the crux of things. Comparing iPhone to “Android” is a fool’s errand. Apple often only has one more budget conscious model available explicitly. But OS support tends to last longer on Apple devices, so multiple model years are viable at once.

It’s like wearing nothing at all! ….nothing at all! …..nothing at all!

If Ukraine didn’t want to be invaded, it shouldn’t have dressed that way! Stupid sexy Ukraine.

 

Just a chill video in a series by the creator, Brady Brandwood, about a lobster he bought from a grocery store and rehabilitated into a pet. I appreciate the vibe that Brady puts into these videos and his clear admiration and care for Leon. Thought others might enjoy discovering them, too.

 

Found this post super informative as it relates to Mastodon, and thought Lemmy might also benefit from this perspective. I'm not sure I share his optimism, but his points seem sound to dampen some of the alarm bells over Meta joining the Fediverse.
