Attached: 1 image Yesterday morning, I pulled open my laptop to send a quick email. It had a frozen black screen, so I rebooted it, and… oh crap. My 2-year-old SSD had unceremoniously died. This was a gut punch, but I had an ace in the hole. I'm typing this from my restored system on a brand new drive. In total, I lost about 10 minutes of data. Here's how. (Spoilers: #zfs #zrepl)

    That’s pretty cool. Although I don’t mind a wiped system every now and then. It’s a great way to do spring cleaning😂

    I’ll just pull the important files back in.
