Save the machine state after you get it booted up and configured. Host+T

I searched the text of the article for 117, zero results found.

Okay, can we get the facts straight OP?

Is it $17 billion or $117 billion?

The article says $17 billion, but you typed $117 billion in the post body...

Strangely, I kinda like it!

I'll pass though, I make my own avatars (which apparently I still haven't applied to Lemmy..)

I'll pass, AI doesn't need any more training data from me than it already has, especially focused on my username.

Thank you for the public service announcement, I had no idea this was such a common issue. I should probably keep some emergency testicles around as well..

😂

I actually own 2 penises, I keep the spare in a jar in case of an emergency.

/s 😂🤣

I happen to be a penis owner.

So what would happen if I were to install and use such a monthly tracker app and pretend I've been having regular monthlies for a while, then suddenly I miss a couple periods, then suddenly start having periods again?

Would the cops come beating my door down claiming I had an abortion? 🤔

Fuck this dystopian mass surveillance shit!

WTF? I just played that just long enough for my queen to take over their queen, and it turned my queen into a rook?

Is that even a legit rule in any variation of chess rules?

I wasn't aware of that either, now I'm kinda curious to try to find it in my 512 Atari 2600 ROMs archive..

Well shit, I figured out what the real issue was.

I'm on a laptop with only 3 USB ports, and I'm running a physical laptop hard drive on an adapter on one USB port, and a laptop CD/DVD drive on another adapter on another port.

Obviously that's probably pushing the power limits of the USB power, but it's worked before, so I didn't see why it wasn't quite working right now.

But this time I was trying a different DVD drive, an HP TS-T633P slot loader drive. Apparently that drive is extra power hungry compared to a conventional laptop drive, so I dug out my old tray loader drive.

Apparently the slot loader drive was competing with the hard drive for power, and they were apparently taking turns robbing power from each other. The system is perfectly happy with the tray loader drive though, no reconfiguration necessary!

🤦‍♂️😂🤣👍

 

I've been testing this OS for a bit, but I'm having trouble where drives are shutting down prematurely, as if the power management is too aggressive when it comes to external USB drives.

My USB hard drive will shut down on whatever timer Linux is using, despite my VirtualBox machine actively using it via Shared Folders. I have to use the Linux host and Caja to wake the drive back up. Like what the hell?

My USB DVD drive will spin up stupid fast to buffer a lot of DVD video, then Linux spins the drive down and turns it off. Then the next time it needs data, the drive has to spin up stupid high speed again, causing the video to freeze frequently while the drive spins back up, way too fast no less for the task. Why not a simple consistent speed and keep the drive running while watching a movie? VLC if that matters, on the host Linux.

Is this a power management configuration issue? Are these somehow the same issue, or are they two separate issues?

What should I do to resolve/reconfigure?

 

I've got a whole bucket full of old hard drives, CDs and DVDs, and I'm starting the process of backing up as much as still works to a 4TB drive.

It's gonna be a long journey and lots of files, many prone to being duplicates from some of the drives.

What sorts of software do you Linux users recommend?

I'm on Linux Mint MATE, if that matters much.

Edit: One of the programs I'm accustomed to from my Windows days is FolderMatch, which is a step above simple duplicate file scanning, it scans for duplicate or semi-duplicate folders as well and breaks down individual file differences when comparing two folders.

I see I've already gotten some responses, and I thank everyone in advance. I'm on a road trip right now, I'll be checking you folks recommend software later this evening or as soon as I can anyways.

 

Also, apparently baby oil is made with synthetic babies. I'm so disappointed, how do people live with all these lies? ☹️
