Well that was fun--my laptop's M.2 drive coughed up a hairball something like thirty minutes into my (storage!) talk at #ato2025 .
The laptop immediately hard rebooted, and I delivered the last fifteen minutes of my talk blind, with "journal recovery aborted" ext4 errors infinitely scrolling across the big screen beside me.
I saw several folks in the crowd snap pics... Can anybody send me one? That felt like for the scrapbook! 😅
