Granted, now all computers run Linux. For a year. Then every computer switches back to windows, including all servers.

What an interesting design! I wonder what the inspiration was?

There is nothing like the sound of 2 dozen HDDs unexpectedly spinning down.

update: I managed to get it working, look at the edit

It recognised the disks in an ASR array, but the type is "unknown" and it fails to assemble with "Undefined RAID type (null)[1] on asr_". So I don't think that worked sadly.
EDIT: The RAID card I had supported RAID 5 and dmraid doesn't, that's probably why it's not working.

I could not find a --discover parameter, but I tried --assemble --scan and it couldn't find a super block.
It feels a bit frustrating to have all the data here but no way to access it, maybe a tool will pop up at some point if I hoard the disk images.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

There were a lot of “pointer hard” memes back r/programmerhumor. Probably a lot of beginner's over there.

I guess I cheated by already having an understanding of how the computer works before starting C.

Not sure about here but is was a hot take on reddit:
Pointers are not that hard and really useful

I like it better than gitlab, gitlab is too cluttered and has loads of features I don't need. forgejo will be a lot better when they get federation going though

I like to have different naming schemes for different device classes.
Desktop computers: Greek gods
Laptops: Elements of the periodic table
Cloud servers: Norse gods
Home servers: Planets of the solar system
Raspberry Pis: Greek titans
