[Early Access] Hosting a Website on a 30 Floppy Disk RAID
🕑 Added 2022-07-16 04:58:11 +0000 UTCToday we're taking the Floppy Disk RAID even further, using the power of Void Linux on my Power Mag G5 Quad! Let's RAID together 30 floppy disks, host a website on them, and serve it up to the open internet!
What can go wrong? Nothing, of course!

For the future, be aware that Bash expansion can help if you've got a command line with tedious repetition. The syntax /dev/sd{b..j} in this case would get you your sequence (since it was an uninterrupted run of letters), but you can also list out one offs as comma separated values between the braces if needed, e.g., /dev/sd{b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i}. Crap you learn after far too many years on the command line. :p

Looks like I missed the window of the site being up, but I'm glad it wasn't a flop
