I have redone my computer network in its fourth (and final?) incarnation. Everything got redesigned from the ground up. You can see some of the (color coded!) cabling here:
The two switches on top (GREEN and ORANGE) support speeds up to 2.5 Gbps, whereas the bottom two switches (RED and BLUE) only support up to 1 Gbps. The white cables on the right are spares, they’re just auxiliary cables which have already been installed and are available if I need them in an emergency.
So ChatGPT is having some trouble with this one. The track I’m referring to is Come As You Are.
I’m having an issue with my Samsung 990 PRO drive. Gonna try upgrading the firmware. Actually got myself a new computer just for the purpose. Figured I should start with knowing what the firmware version is presently. ChatGPT strikes again. Firmware version is 1B2QJXD7.

I’m surprised it took me this long to figure this out. But there’s a very big problem with a command like this:
rsync var/data/ target:/var/data/
The problem is that in order to type that command, you first have to type the first part of the command, which includes this command:
rsync var/data/ target:/
That first part of the command is in fact a valid command, and if you pressed ENTER accidentally before you had finished typing the whole command, then rsync would begin to replace your entire root file system with the contents of var. That’s the sort of thing that will ruin your day.
So from now on, when I write command-line tools, I will nominate the target *before* the source, and if both the target and source are not specified then I will return an error.
p.s. Yes, the reverse problem exists, that when you nominate the target first you can still fuck up with the source, but given that you are operating on the target from the source, if you get the source wrong, you can just fix your command and run it again and it will be fixed up.

Note to self: run these commands to watch NVMe, GPU, and CPU temperatures on ‘charm‘:
watch sudo sensors watch sudo nvme smart-log /dev/nvme0 watch sudo nvme smart-log /dev/nvme1 watch sudo nvme smart-log /dev/nvme2 watch sudo nvme smart-log /dev/nvme3
These sensors were enabled with:
sudo apt install nvme-cli sudo apt install lm-sensors sudo sensors-detect
So I managed to get this dreaded error: Message ID: ZFS-8000-8A. It happened when I tried moving a directory between file systems on different zpools. Not gonna tempt fate and try that again. In future I will copy from source to target and then delete the target.
