[[bowl]] is certainly nearing teh end of it's life. It has served me well. I will need to replace it imminently.

I feel so much weaker without it. I need it back now. Currently it will only boot after waiting for around 10 minutes (HDD failure?) and even then the nix installer was flashing error messages (I know the installer works because I booted on a seperate laptop)

Luckily I have all my data backed up. I was going to wipe it anyway. maybe look into getting a replacement drive to boot off of while I think of what to do in terms of building out a NAS.
