1 year agoNightly automated runs of the chkbit script is the only thing that alerted me to the fact that either the SSD or storage controller in my Mac Mini had issues and was corrupting data. I was very thankful to have already had the automation in place for that exact scenario.
It theoretically shouldn’t be necessary for filesystems that have built-in checksumming.
I self-host https://miniflux.app/ and it has been working great for my needs.
