Prune (meaning plum and pronounced prune-eh) is the national fruit of Romania and Tuica is the national drink. You drink if before every meal. EVERY meal. Must be a very ... regular... tradition.

 @scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:  oh my... Know this one from a vacation in the Czech Republic, isn't that far away from Romania. As far as I remember it just doesn't taste much like alcohol at all, and that is dangerous

 @thwr oh no, this TASTES like alcohol. It BURNS. I'm drinking the one in the picture right now. I'm friends with the distiller, too.

Must be something similar then. TBH, I don't know much from that evening anymore, nor does anyone else who was with me

 @hobbit666 hehe, did so a few weeks ago. "I'm not kissing no egg". Love that movie.

 This thread is a great example of RAID 6 rebuild risks. 11 days and many more projected before the rebuild is complete. Not that large of an array, either. 
- 
 @scottalanmiller Never knew that with RAID6. Good to know in future

 @scottalanmiller well, that depends on a few factors. One of my systems is running a RAID 60. A stripe over 5 stacks of 6 disks in RAID 6. Don't ask why, it's there for a reason. Anyway, each disk is 1TB NL-SAS @ 7.2k RPM. Rebuilding a failed disk in a stack takes roughly 16 to 20 hours.

 Only six disks, that's pretty small.

 Rebooting our ReadyNAS due to software update before bed.

 Playing Grey Cubes on Steam ... so much more entertaining than the last hour of work. Best dollar I've spent in a while.

 @scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now: Only six disks, that's pretty small. Well, that was a tradeoff. Couldn't afford the spindles for RAID 10. Using this setup, you're only loosing 1/3 of the capacity while having at least a bit of write performance. Plus, rebuild time and risk is acceptable.

 Looking how to create a "Driver Pack" for my Windows 10 Gold image as I've just deployed it to a laptop and it's missing drivers like the NIC
