hp_roy> Ok.  How are the desktop troubles going?  Any replacement yet?Sep 15 19:14
hp_royMy main workplace is now the bedroom, with one large monitor on the bedside extending the laptop with fanned cooler below it (wife and I just bought it). Currently it just ssh -x to the old workstation, which is rotting quickly while I copy its partitions to a 3TB drive overni ght (it takes time and takes up CPU). I don't have a detailed migration planned; HDD status is, well, I can recover with fsck for now, some thingSep 15 19:14
hp_roys break though (even at binary level), I want to back up aggressively every night while I figure out what to do next. Torvalds is reportedly suffering similar issues that suspend Linux development; no perfect HDD exists. This one served well for 5 years. I will try to regain pace, returning to normal next week, I hope. In a few days we celebrate our anniversary, so can't count on online productivity sooner than next weeSep 15 19:14
