  • JBODS like those are actually pretty common in data centers though and are popular with cold storage configs that don’t keep drives spun up unless needed.

    For the cooling, they usually use the pressure gradient between what’re called cold and hot aisles to force air through the server racks. The pressure also tends to be strong enough that passive cooling can be used and any fans on the hardware would be more used to just direct the airflow.



  • The fediverse is big enough for everyone, and unless there’s ill-intent or something damaging in a user/instance, I don’t see any point with excluding them. All this would do is limit growth, and may actually be the attitude that let’s it shrink into a slow death.

    If you don’t like a user or instance, block them and go about your business.




  • You might need to open the case and search for pins surrounding a chip with a TTL device (search for pinouts of your chip), but I guarantee you that the phone is always recoverable

    Working with and building circuit testers, I can say those pins also very likely have test pads routed to them for when the board was originally programmed. Look for un-tinned, smallish solder pads that looks like a needle may have pricked them.
