#TIFU

Wanted to try #nixfmt on my #nixos-config tree again, so I ran

fd . -t file --extension nix -x nixfmt

It was taking unusually long but it was loading my CPU alright.
Huh, it really shouldn't be taking *this* long.

Oh, I was in my home directory O.o

Off to finding all the repos with Nix files in them I have on this machine to undo that...

@TotalSonic Sorry for that, I was really tired when I finished this last night. I know this normally, but tired me was just "we should mention the Ubuntu release the OTA numbering is in reference to, and they are not yet on 24.04, so it must be ..." Thank you for the correction!

#TIFU by posting a request in French to francophones for recommendations of a 20th-century French film director's comedies. I used hashtags and presented a poll of four options. I set the language setting on my post to FR. I am contrite and I won't ask the growing fediverse for suchlike again.
I've aged out of this post-Twitter effluvia.

Today I screwed up by accidentally dropping my 18 TB Seagate Expansion hard drive I bought for $300. It hit the wall, but I caught it before it hit the floor. Unfortunately, it was already too late, because now it's dead.

I've accepted the fact that it was my fault for dropping it, but it still stings because it was such an expensive hard drive. I bought it when it was heavily discounted. It's also the largest hard drive I own, too.

I'm not too worried about data loss. I treated that drive like a scratch disk anyway, so there wasn't too much precious data that was lost. But even so, I'm still mourning the loss of that hard drive that I haven't even had for a year. :blobfoxcry2:
