Second on the linux client. I have a linux machine with a zfs volume that I've been backing up to crashplan. Since they've announced they're dumping their consumer market I have no cost-effective place to go. Most likely, I'll be more picky about my backups and use S3 life-cycled to Glacier.

Despite having cleaned out old kernels before, I spaced one day and accidentally removed the kernel I was running. This is fixable if you boot a live distro you can mount the relevant volumes (like your root disk to /mnt/foo, and your boot partition to /mnt/boot), then, after a chroot to /mnt/foo you can re-install the kernel. Here is an article describing it (but it misses mounting the boot partition) http://askubuntu.com/questions/28099/how-to-restore-a-system...

Excellent. Now I want to make one illustrating different logical fallacies.
