SMART will tell you how many hours it’s been running

Dell drives are rebranded Seagates, however the firmware is slightly modified so the bios recognizes it as a Dell branded drive. Openmanage will throw an error if you use a different drive (though aside from that everything will work fine)

He banned bump stocks via executive order, which is more than any president since clinton did in favor of gun control. I love using this fact to break Republicans’ heads. “As a firm believer in the second amendment, I can’t vote for trump”

Glad to hear they’re mostly electric. A mail truck is an ideal use a for EV, it ought to save the USPS a ton of money

If two parties are at odds with one another, and one on them is willing to use violence and the other isn’t, the violent party wins.

Is that a Martin Luther King quote?

Maybe wait until November before you make a decision

He learned not to listen to cops

It’s definitely not Winston, he died in the main story. I interpreted it as an unnamed historian writing about this years later. I don’t think Orwell would self-insert and write from an in universe perspective.

That’s great, glad to hear it. Start doing backups too!

Also, the appendix talks about ingsoc policies in the past tense. They lost.

I just referenced that on Lemmy a couple of days ago

Blue looks like a dude wearing shades

Hyper-v is bundled with windows now and is just as easy to use as virtualbox (slightly easier for windows guests since the drivers are bundled in the os)

If the disk is failing anything you do that reads or writes it could cause data loss. Even having it plugged in and powered potentially could. It depends on what component of it is failing.

That being said, fsck is pretty safe. It’s the equivalent of chkdsk in windows, it looks specifically at the filesystem for things that may have gotten screwy.

ddrescue/gddrescue is your best bet for recovery. It can detect bad blocks and skip them, and it has some p robust resuming capabilities if your disk locks up while.its running. I usually use it to clone entire physical disks to another disk or an image file that can be mounted. I don’t know if it can be used to grab specific files, I’ve never tried.

If it was me, I’d take the disk out and let it cool to room temperature. Then I’d ddrescue the whole thing, with resume turned on, to an image file. Then I’d run fsck. If fsck finds and recovers filesystem issues, I’d put it back in the pi, continue using it, and start doing regular backups of important files via a cron task.

If you think it’s the filesystem try running fsck. It sounds like a failing storage device to me but there’s not nearly enough information to say for sure

It’s on Tubi. I just watched the whole thing for the first time. I want to see the movies but they’re not on Tubi or any of the torrent sites I checked

It was the dawn of the third age of mankind. Ten years after the Earth Minbari war. The Babylon project was dream giving form. It’s goal, to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences peacefully. It’s a port of call. Home away from home for diplomas, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanders. 500,000 Humans and aliens wraped in two million five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal, all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it’s our last best hope for peace. This is the story of last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258.

The name of the place is Babylon 5.

Unix was designed for mainframes, qdos/msdos was designed to be a cpm knockoff the local nerd could use to play commander keen and do his taxes. It’s actually impressive how much modern/business functionality they were able to cram into that.

So is Linux, but it puts stuff like that in /dev
