Looks like WhatsApp and Instagram will start shedding use bases in 2020 when barely human entity Mark Zuckerberg puts the backends of those apps though the FaceTube Messenger blender. That way they can monetize all that shit better.

Nows the time for someone to invent the NotZuckerGramApp.

I thought it was just the messenger portion of it, not the full app?
 
Goddamnit, I spent so much time paying attention to the smart stats on my RAID drives that I didn't pay any attention to the boot drive, which just went tits up on my server.

And guess who has two thumbs and doesn't have another SSD handy in the house?

This motherboard has been kind of a POS (Intel desktop board DH77EB), it might just be the M4 slot that bit the bucket, so hopefully I'll be able to find my M4 to SATA adapter in the morning.
 
OLD GUY ALERT:

I completely don't know how to get Debian 9 to boot on an H77 chipset. Anybody got tips for me?
debian-installer cd image + unetbootin + old thumb drive has always worked for me.

There might be some secure boot bullshit you have to turn off in the BIOS.

I guess some background might be in order:
- booted via the debian 9 installer image on a USB stick
- installed as automatically as I could
- rebooted, and no love. The BIOS or UEFI or UFO or w/e tells me there's no bootable disks attached.
