All 2.4 GHz channels are totally full in my location. The 5 Ghz connection seemed pretty okay but suffered from random dropouts lasting around 20 seconds.

Of course I learned this the hard way. 😁 All modern drives provide basic health data through SMART but you need to put some effort to read the attributes and figure out yourself if the drive is healthy or not.

For example: checking an FTP/SFTP/rsync directory for newly uploaded files from some external system, looking for new core dumps, and detecting new lines in an error log file. Other use cases might include waiting for a process (or pipeline) to complete its job and save the results to a file, or very crude web server hacking… ## [ReWork Your Future: Episode 5 on Sustainable Mobility is Now Live!](https://downtoearth.substack.com/p/rework-your-future-episode-5-on-sustainable) _2025-04-09 · re•generation · Down to Earth_ The future of transportation is already in motion ## [The Examined Life](https://soulhealingenergyacademy.substack.com/p/the-examined-life) _2025-04-01 · Leonor Graça Moura · Leonor Graça Moura_ Questioning everything and finding Truth in the unseen. ## [Elite Education is Trapping Young People](https://downtoearth.substack.com/p/elite-education-is-trapping-young) _2025-03-31 · Thea Walmsley · Down to Earth_ We need to chart a new way forward ## [Documentary Release: How green infrastructure is transforming Canadian cities](https://downtoearth.substack.com/p/documentary-release-how-green-infrastructure) _2025-03-19 · re•generation · Down to Earth_ Reimagining the built environment to work with nature, rather than against it ## [Tunneling Zigbee with ser2net and SSH](https://m0agx.eu/tunneling-zigbee-with-ser2net-and-ssh.html) _2025-03-09 · M0AGX / LB9MG_ I wanted to deploy a network of Zigbee sensors in a remote location. The location had no "IT infrastructure" at all. The only connectivity available was LTE so I picked a modern router supported by OpenWRT - the Zyxel LTE3301-PLUS .
