Sorry to revice this old thread; running into a "metoo-ish' thing .
After further investications, it appear that particular drive (wd black sn7700) has a firmware bug, correctable with a new firmware from Western digital.

"kenv" extract:

This year I am not having much luck with drains. After the #Crapturday in the office, a kitchen drain got clogged. I decided to rush to the rescue with my drain snake. I dismantled and cleaned all the local pipes, then inserted the five-meter snake and, after some persistence, managed to get through. In other words, I was quite satisfied.

After putting everything back together, I realized I had actually solved nothing. So I armed myself with two bottles of liquid drain cleaner and poured them down the drain. Then I prepared a small pot of boiling water to pour in afterward. As soon as I poured it, it started gurgling (as expected) and going down.

Just as I was about to celebrate victory, some sort of explosion happened, spraying all the drain cleaner back at me. Needless to say, since I had not expected anything like that (and it was an unplanned operation), I was wearing a pair of trousers and a shirt I care about.

The result: trousers and shirt permanently stained with drain cleaner, and the drain even more clogged than before.

Now both the shirt and the trousers are in the washing machine with dye. They will become blue 🙂

<머스크 X에 있는 머스크 XX 뒤돌려차기>

거두절미하겠다. X(구 트위터)를 자주 하는 사람들은 다 알 것이다. 2024년 초에 댓글로 돌아다녔던 "내 프로필에 있는 내 XX"라는 스팸 문구와, xAI의 생성형 AI 학습을 비꼬려고 만들어진 "일론 머스크 XX 뒤돌려차기"라는 문구의 합성임을. 당장 구글 검색을 해 보자. 전자는 한 광고 대행사도 최신 '밈'이라고 소개했고, 후자는 12.3 내란 시국의 집회 깃발에도 등장했다. 참으로 처참하다.

X는 트위터 시절부터 이미 사회 이슈 전달용으로 이용되던 플랫폼이다. 내란 때 몇몇 제도권 언론에서도 조명한 명품(?) 플랫폼이다. 필자도 X에서 10년동안 여러 인연들을 얻은 바 있다. 한편으로는 호주의 청소년 소셜미디어 금지 조치에서 절대 안 제외될 플랫폼들 (X, 인스타그램, 페이스북, 스냅챗, 레딧, 유튜브, 트위치, 킥, 스레드 등) 중 하나이기도 하다.

If you need to create a FAT32 formatted USB thumb drive, find out its devicename
running dmesg(8) after inserting it. Then create an MBR schema, a single slice and
format it:

# gpart create -s MBR ${devicename}
# gpart add -t fat32 ${devicename}
# newfs_msdos -F 32 -L thumbdrive ${devicename}s1

I have a couple of 4TB Samsung SSD drives and copying 2 TB from one drive to another somehow is estimated to take 4 hours? I get that SSD firmware does a lot under the hood to make the drive look good during the benchmarks, but the lack of transparency into what's happening with the drive (although, it gets pretty hot) is annoying

Mastodon boost/fav/reply #bookmarklet idea:

Add following bookmarklet, named eg. "boost/fav/reply" to your browser bookmark toolbar:

javascript:(function() {location='https://mastodon.social/search?q=' + location.toString();})()

Just change mastodon.social for your actual home instance, where you are logged in all the time. Eg. for me it is:

javascript:(function() {location='https://f.cz/search?q=' + location.toString();})()

If you are viewing original URL of ActivityPub status outside of your instance, which means, that you are not logged in and cannot boost, fav or reply, clicking on this bookmarklet will just open the same status "locally", where you are logged in.

Tested in #Firefox at least with #Mastodon and #Friendica statuses and it seems to work as intended. I used to copy+paste URL to my home instance search box, but this is single click solution.

I wonder if there is way for web site to offer you installing bookmarklet automagically (it would be probably insecure?)

Feedback welcome.

been listening this new John Butler song on loop for 3 days now.

If you slave away for dollars and your dollars they don’t grow,
maybe you’re the wrong equation or the algorithm broke
And the screens yelling out with the great big ROAR,
you should try a little harder, you could do a little more,
you could have a piece of the pie, get what you are destined for,
you can be that 1 percentile with that 99 below

@SnoopJ No, meaning that application vendors are just fine shipping things that completely fail at the low end of tech specs.

Sorry for not being clear about that.

Most people don't know this but the state is selling the Bay's dwindling sand -- so that for-profit companies can turn it into concrete.

Bay sand not only provides habitat for countless creatures, but literally shores up the shoreline. We *need* that sand to stave of erosion and sea level rise.

So we're suing.

You do not have to use Mastodon through its official mobile app!

There are many other ways of using your Mastodon account, and most people who try the alternatives tend to prefer them.

The most popular alternatives are third party apps and your server's own website. These tend to have more features and faster updates. You can find out more at:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/which-apps-can-i-use-should-i-use-the-official-app-or-a-third-party-app

However you access Mastodon, it's still your same account and same server 🙂

knocking at your door at 2am asking "why is your CLI not a library"

Put differently: this is the Electron killer, for better or worse, and not in the way that Apple killed Flash.

When PCs ship with 8 GB or less of RAM, application companies don't give a fuck, and so we get a proliferation of Electron and Electron-like platforms that consume gigantic amounts of RAM. That won't fly on something like the Neo.

Yeees, they want to bring back Firefly, as an anime.
Let's make some noise (and hope they get all the creative freedom they need to make this into a success!)
