I was, had a vic 20 and c64

Not sure if it was preinstalled or I did it, but it was the first one I tried and it was so simple to use and setup. I don’t have the storage to do what you do, though that is a great approach I may look into when the nand prices return to the realm of reason

damn, maybe there is an ssd slot in there you are not aware of? I “found” a hard drive on a laptop I acquired (moms last hand-me-down), a 2tb ssd. Also had a similar laptop (dads) that only had an m.2 but there was a space for an ssd/hdd minus the ribbon cable. Yeah the cost of storage is idiotic now, hopefully something will come from the collusion/price fixing cases coming up against samsung/sk hynix/etc

I had bought a 2tb m.2 for my pc, then a month later purchased a 1tb m.2 (for a laptop I was giving to a friend) for about $30 more than I paid for the 2tb, a little over 2x the price for half the storage, YAY.

and if you do something wrong you can break it.

So happy with timeshift, beautiful and just works, simple and fast

as a duel boot

I did that for about 6 months. BTW that is a perfectly apt typo, unless you meant it that way like I do. I got around the M$ bs by putting the boot loader for nix on its own drive and would physically choose boot device from the boot menu. Not ideal but it kept their grubby mitts off my boot loader while I used that pc

and sweat is amazingly corrosive

Thankfully I missed the amazon ads.

If only snap worked as well as flatpak. Not one snap package I have installed (Kubuntu) has worked, even the snap FF went wonky within 3 days of a fresh distro install. Flatpak works better as I have not had a single issue with any flatpak install (I refuse to look at how big these files are) I just like the idea of sand boxing all these apps. As of now my preferred install is 1. flatpak, 2. .deb, 3. compile the bitch from source, the only one I have had to compile was the “Drivers” for my and my gfs G13 keyboards so we could assign the keys we want.

Maybe if they show some fortitude we may reconsid…hahhaahha

Enact the DST Mark

Not sure this trick still/will work(s) but at one time you could copy a cd at 1x and it would work (like dd but slower and not as reliable) but anything over 1x didn’t work, that was copying from the media directly, iirc. We used to do this back in early to mid 2k

do y’all not get swamp crotch like at all?

And now a word from our sponsor “Sheath Underwear”

lol sorry this just reminded me. Also, I wash my junk before sharing it

I have 2x orico enclosures, at usb 3.0(not C, I haven’t used that one yet, it has a 2tb m.2) holding a 2tb and an 8 tb SATA platters, and according to the orico site several of their enclosures explicitly state they support TRIM, my 2 don’t explicitly say they support TRIM but I can see the smart status on them

I see it more as a boiling frog, look at California/Colorado/Brazil and I think NY is getting in on it as well, then there is the UK/Australia starting points. The Gov’ts and meta etc are looking for buy in. As the discussion dies down after attestation you will see them try to take another step to submitting actual ID (you have the infra in place, just add this API…) give it a year or so after we’ve moved on to another subject

Any time “they” cry Maude’s line “Won’t someone PLEASE think of the children!” the children’s safety is the furthest thing from their mind. I hope I am wrong, but I have seen too much stuff like this to hold my breath. The more we fight every step the longer it will take to come into effect and we can hope for more buy in, from the less educated on this invasion of privacy of the population, to the resistance instead of acquiescing in advance. Linux distros are the last stand against it from major OSes, Microslop/Apple/iOS/Android are all on board, no fight. There is at least 1 distro that changed their EULA to say that their OS is not to be used in California or Colorado and lists the date that the laws come into effect.

Instead, to ACTUALLY think of the children, parents should be using the built in Parental Controls available on all OSes to keep their children from going places they shouldn’t. Getting into fantasy land here but, these controls should have simple to follow instructions so parents can easily set them up with no tech knowledge, simple access to curated blocklists (a great job for LLMs) so they can easily add an approved block list by age range, and in the case of phones the parental controls should block resetting of the phone to factory settings unless from the parental control settings.

I do not agree with this line of thinking. Instead, I reason that this PR was merged because it is not harmful, and a potential future PR implementing ID verification would not be merged. These are two separate things (PRs/merges), which are not in any way tied to each other causually.

PR vs Merge is a moot point here, I am looking at the bigger picture to see where these choices are leading. By itself the attestation is pointless as anyone can put anything they want, but it is step one - buy in. We should never just look at what is going on around us in isolation or the bigger picture will crush us all.

I hope I didn’t ramble too much here and lose my focus.

Some of us are old enough and have seen enough to KNOW this is not the end of this. They start with little non things like this (age attestation), see how the population takes it, and when they are sure a majority are onboard with this “Not really invasive, voluntary thing” they change it up to be more invasive and non voluntary(age verification). No, this guy shouldn’t be getting death threats, that is stupid, but he should hang his head in shame for complying in advance. The more we fight this, the longer it will take. I am sad the youth of today will never see the web I did.

I’ll check that out, thanks

And yes mdf/mds think I mixed a video extension

Thanks

I will try that for the .imgs, how about .ccd, bin/cue and iirc .mkv? These images were obtained over two decades ago and have been transferred a few times, certain 1meg/Xkb files may have been lost. Daemon tools and later power iso used to mount these files no prob but I destroyed my windows a while back and am not going back regardless of what I lose as I gained more

If E.U and U.K. get involved, they will spend money and resources there weakening them back at home (leaving nothing for Ukraine), and Russia will have more targets to give Iran. Overall it seems like a benefit to Russia

Simple and straight forward app is Bottles, get it on your app store. I was trying to get Farming Simulator 2013 installed and it “just wouldn’t install” under lutris so I tried bottles and it worked, just worked. My only issue now is mounting non .iso iso like .ccd .img and one more I can’t remember now.

EDIT: Anyone used CDemu to mount .img or .ccd? Does it work? what about converting these files to .iso with ccd2iso or acetoneiso?

He just needs to shadow Luke, Linus is NOT a linux type of person. I do say linux is not for everyone. Linus embodies that, tho it is funny to watch his failures and Luke laughing in Arch

My dads laptop did this, the ssd was overheating, not loading even with the windows installer. The installer would just hang, remove the drive installer was good to go.

Is the drive showing correctly in bios? Is it showing at all under any identifier?

If you haven’t destroyed the data yet, what I did to recover all my dads data from an m.2 was to remove the drive and put it in an external caddy but left the case open, put it in front of my open window when it was -20 out (can prolly put it in the freezer for similar effect) then used a working pc (linux in my case) to get the data off thru a file browser, had to pause several times to let the drive cool down as the transfer went from a normal speed to only a couple kb/s.

Best of luck with your drive issue, hope it is not what I had to deal with
