Boring.

I'm dissapointed too, I was hoping the flying power plant part will catch on.

The damn vbs I clicked on was a fake T-Mobile invoice. The previous day I negotiated terms with T-Mobile and took delivery of a new phone for my partner which was the reason I cliked on the invoice as I was furious they sent me one despite previous day negotiations. The whole incident had a couple more coincidences like that, its those that are the biggest threat at least to me, in 30 years time I never got hacked or forgot about any piece of any puzzle related to security, its those coincidences that are dangerous.

I agree. I will still stick to my Ubuntu laptop with tape over the camera and sound card disabled for wires for now if you don’t mind

It was a vbs script that installed itself onto Chrome repoacing the bank login screen, simple shite and I’ve fallen for it. Ubuntu would have given me a headsup that a script wants to be installed, win didn’t. Never mind though, it was my fault.

Since Linux asks for aproval before launching any binary even when hidden in a pdf or .doc file I figure its safer than Windows which does everything behind your back. The seperate laptop with Linux only for bank transfers will stay for now, at least untill my paranoia settles down.

Last time I checked, IT students need to eat too so they should hear my moaning

One of these days I’ll hire an IT student with a nag for security, Im getting too old for this s.

Youre trying to wake my safety psychosis and believe me I have one...3 weeks ago I clicked on a rar in an email half awake watching utube at nighg and installed a trojan which I cleaned but fell asleep snd when my partner launched the PC in the morning and started to do bank wires thats when the mayhem begun. We ended up closing our company bank account, a police investigation is ongoing to catch the guy/guys, we managed not to loose any money but I lost 10 years of my life in stress. We keep a linux laptop only for bank transfers since. The whole story is more complicated and I dont want to powt details here but it boils down to me clicking on a rar in an email.

Backing up to another drive is essentially what RAID 1 is doing. With the addition of the array controller being vulnerable in the RAID scenario thats why everything is doubled, trippled in high availability systems. So essencially, at home it is safer just to keep backup on another drive than to use RAID. Unless you want to use redundancy - 3 of everything - drives, controller, RAM, CPU, power supply, everything. At the end you will end up building a high availability cluster which will cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars and will be completely useless for home use.

I believe you. Sensei. Btw I’m keeping a seperate laptop with a clean installation of Ubuntu just for the important stuff, I’d like to see you steal from that

RAID is useful when uptime is the most important factor so database servers, online stores and similar services which require five nine high availability. RAID should not be used as a backup so unless youre running Amazon from your home you really don’t need it. Unless you want to play around and test things that is

Yes. Including me, my family and my guests Plus my SSID is "56 Kbps" so I'm good.

If its for home use I would skip on RAID alltogether use ext and just buy good quality drives. If you want to keep safe just use a backup system of some sort and enrcyption, RAID's are kind of useless in home environment these days.

I don’t think you need to worry about guests coming to visit you

Single parity bit check is the most common error detection method in hard drives that I know of. Also check error handling which is a different concept from detection. Normally hard drives loose capacity due to error occurance (bad sectors) as far as I know there are error detection and correction mechanisms built into HDD's since the first PC days, my 286 XT machine in late 80's had a 20 megabite HDD (which needed to have its head parked btw) with some sort of error detection and correction. Nowdays all the drives have complex multi level error detection and correction systems. You seem to be asking if its possible for a specific method of HDD error detection/correction to fail and the answer is always yes, everything can and will fail if used long enough under load.

I used a more crude method, I bought a set of big a33 external antenas and never had to worry about loosing bandwidth again.

Most RAID 1 systems use error detection built into the hard drives themselves. If a drive in the array reports an error, the RAID rewrites data from the other disc. RAID 1 or any other type of RAID can be configured through software or through a dedicated hardware RAID controller. It provides a level of abstraction which tells your operating system to treat a set of hardrives as a configurable logical unit. There are hundreds of ways you can configure a RAID array depending on the hardware/software and cisrcumstances. Your question seems to boil down to whether it is possible for a RAID 1 to fail and the answer is ofcourse Yes, it is possible depending on factors and circumstances.

A RAID 1 array makes a real time copy of everything it contains. If an error occurs in one of the copies, it substitutes the bad data with the remaining good copy - not the other way around. RAID 1 consists of an exact copy (or mirror) of a set of data on two or more disks; a classic RAID 1 mirrored pair contains two disks. This configuration offers no parity, striping, or spanning of disk space across multiple disks, since the data is mirrored on all disks belonging to the array, and the array can only be as big as the smallest member disk. This layout is useful when read performance or reliability is more important than write performance or the resulting data storage capacity.[13][14] The array will continue to operate so long as at least one member drive is operational.[15]

In simple terms; if you have 2 drives 1Tb each and array them into RAID 1 you will end up with 1Tb of usable space - each sector will be mirrored so if you have a bad sector on one of the drives youre good as theres a copy of that sector on the other drive. The array does not rebuild in such a manner that it could use a bad sector as usable data, thats the whole idea behind RAID 1 - redundancy. The mirror can be done or 2 or more drives (more redundancy)

You are right, both of these statements cannot be true for RAID 1 and this one is not: Thhe above is true for RAID 0 (stripe), for an array of drives in RAID 1 it will stay functional as long as at least one HDD is functional: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels#RAID_1

Anything could trigger a depressed person, someone looking the wrong way over a counter, a gesture even. On the other hand, listening to Chopin’s funeral march could lead to grandiose feelings of appreciation. I think you’re over interpreting things a bit, take a look at the research I linked in my above post.

I wouldn’t try saying that in a coffee shop in Amsterdam

FFS not you again with your twisted pseudo science fueled by deeply routed religious homophobia. @nevim, please google the original poster.

I eat meat, I like to try different foods when I travel, I also try to cut doen on meat consumption when I don’t need it as much since I stopped working out after my spine surgery. I still eat meat but less of it (especially less beef) I find myself eating veggie spaghetti more often these days for example. I do not find it repulsive to eat meet by any means though.
