This is a grumbling/cheering/commiserating thread for a beautiful looking friday in February.

What are you up to?

I work 4 on 4 off and 'my Friday' is actually Friday this week!

Going to the seaside for 5 days.

  • Starting diet today. Calorie counting as a result.
  • Hunting for my nearest geocache later (exercise).
  • Putting some stuff for sale on Amazon if I can - not done it in years so not sure if rules have changed.
  • Fixing my openWRT router.

But right now I'm feeling a bit tired so may go to bed for an hour.

Power nap ftw!

Despite helping a colleague, I am still clocking off early enough that I can grab a chorizo and lentils on the way home before the rush hour traffic hits. So that's tea sorted.

I've just got a click and collect notification, so I can grab that.

Then cooking and pub. If I have the time I might Dremel open an external hard drive as it's started making a clunking noise since I knocked it over.

Before doing anything, please back up that HDD. Clunking but working means "back up now, I could die any second"

Oh it's clunking and not working.

🙀

Yeah, I think it's screwed. 😕

As somebody who recently has their first clunky not worky HDD and tried data recovery…

I am so sorry.

Quick edit: it’s been a solid 20 years of non-dying HDDs though, so at least there’s that!

Forking Friday? I thought it is Read Only Frida..... Oh, wrong /C/

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I can't call it read-only friday, I'm doing site maintenance at lunchtime!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Same. Got to get that management buy in for RO Friday

I am doing a firewall cluster replacement this afternoon.

Work and looking forward to meeting friends from San Francisco & Dublin in Germany tomorrow.

Well it's Forever-Free Friday over at [email protected], so I've been looking through my Steam library to find free games that are worth talking about and wondering whether or not I've foolishly made myself a weekly obligation

Sciving off work to cook bacon and nurse my hangover.
