on What is your weirdest self-hosting problem you've had to solve? For me: Mouse inside the server. in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 19 Aug 2026
Way back in the olden days, we had a hard drive with out any backups go bad. I determined that it was the circuit board. So I took a working drive and basically connected the bad driver’s platters to the working drive’s circuit board.
It worked and I was able to back up the data and restore it on a new drive.

Not on a computer but I had a JVC TV that started blanking a few times a minute whenever my dvd player was connected. Whilst trying to fix this I attempted to update the TV firmware. That didn’t fix a thing but I noticed that the blanking went away when the USB drive with the firmware update was plugged in. So I just plugged a cheapo USB drive in and left it there for as long as I owned that TV and dvd player.
It’s mostly so you can grab it as soon as it’s delivered if you have a porch pirate problem.
