The centre being all black would have added a nice touch

gentoo. i’m not even gonna look this up but i’d be surprised if immolo hasn’t installed in that platform yet ;)

I’ve recently done this on one of my machines, these were the steps I as far as i remember:

• backup!
• add the new disks to the machine
• partition them like the smaller disks
• add the new disks to the array(s) (as members, not just spares)
• take care of bootloader things while the raid is syncing
• your raid should have 4 devices in sync now
• fail and remove the smaller disks from the raid one by one
• resize the partitions on the bigger disks to maximum
• grow the MD raid to the new size

If you use luks and/or lvm some additional steps will be needed to grow them as well.

If your system can hotplug disks there’s a chance to pull this off with little to no downtime. :)

This needs a coffee siphon as well, might even fit gentoo better than the espresso maker. harder to set up, takes longer but it’s different from what everyone else is using ;) great coffee, too

TIL Descent and Saints Row came from the same studio.

You spelt “That one mistake I made in some random conversation 5 years ago, that no other participant could remember if their lifes depended on it” wrong ^^

nvidia has always been hostile to open source, as far back as i can remember.

back when nvidia bought 3dfx they took down the source code for the open 3dfx drivers within days, if not on the same day. i remember because i had just gotten myself a sweet voodoo 5 some weeks before that, and the great linux support was the reason i chose it… of course the driver code survived elsewhere, but it told me all i needed to know about that company.

also: linus’ rant wasn’t just a fun stunt, it was necessary to get nvidia to properly cooperate with the open source community if they want to keep making money running linux on their hardware.
