  1. What are you proud of?

    Rojie asks:

    What are you proud of?

    What am I proud of, huh? What about that whole pride going before a fall thing? I might not be full of faith, but I can make up for it in superstition. So if not what I’m proud of, then what do I talk about now?

    The things I’m not proud of? No, too easy.

    I’ve known some prideful and boastful people in my life and you know what? I don’t know that any of them were overly interesting people. Or caring and compassionate people. How can you be a caring person if all you talk about is yourself? I think we’re all somewhat guilty of talking about ourselves though. It’s natural, it’s what we know well, and it’s also a pretty safe topic if you’re not a great conversationalist, but at some point doesn’t the other person, the other half of the conversation sitting over there, become interested in something else?

    Wouldn’t conversations be a lot simpler if we all had telepathy and could just read other’s thoughts instead of talking to them?

    I found three old flash drives today and spent some time looking at stuff I had saved. I was surprised to find a folder filled with a bunch of things I’d written going back to 2010. There was a story I’d written about my grandfather who died when he was 78-years-old and that was sad. I also found a lot of poems I’d written and one of them was a poem I wrote on my birthday. I remember sharing it at the time in an online writing group and I remember everyone telling me – very nicely, all of them – how it didn’t make sense and it was confusing and other stuff I didn’t care to read. It made sense to me back then and it still made sense to me today but I can see why it failed. I’m thinking with some work I can maybe make it make sense to others? We’ll see.

    I also found a bunch of pictures on one of the flash drives and that was pretty cool. I’ve really changed a lot in the last 16 years. I wonder what I’ll look like at 78?

  5. @doskel Only if we can force operating system developers to support two things:

    2. file systems that separate short-term and long-term storage, to move the SLC/TLC or CMR/SMR divide to the OS's responsibility

  9. Gute #USB-Sticks für eine #LinuxInstallParty (und andere Zwecke): Ein Thema, das uns bei den @Datenpunks immer wieder Kopfschmerzen bereitet.
    Aktuell suchen wir Sticks mit 64 GB und brauchbaren Schreibraten mit einem Stückpreis <5€.

    Empfehlen kann ich aktuell #Kingston Kyson und #Adata UR340 (schreiben ISOs konstant mit 33 MB/s), die beide zuverlässig sind (leider passt es nur manchmal mit dem Preis -> Preisalarm setzen):
    geizhals.de/kingston-kyson-64g
    geizhals.de/adata-ur340-64gb-a
    Ebenso sind SanDisk Ultra gut:
    geizhals.de/sandisk-ultra-64gb
    geizhals.de/sandisk-ultra-schw

    Nicht empfehlen kann ich #TeamGroup C145: Random Bit-Flips beim Beschreiben, einzelne Totalausfälle, lahmes Beschreiben.

    Habt ihr noch Tipps, welche Sticks empfehlenswert sind? :thinking_rotate:

  25. I'm not sure I need all of these boot USB sticks...
    I probably should just make a #ventoy stick and use these for something else.

    Berryboot is for the Raspberry PI, ChromeOS Flex is an old version, Windows 10 1909 fixed a boot issue I was having with a linux install (Weird huh? - Yeah I thought so too, Boot Repair didn't even fix it). There are 4 or 5 different Linux Mint installs dating back to 19.3, Clonezilla and finally a Video Game Console Retro Disk

    But when I want to eject it I get "Writing data to [device]. Device should not be unplugged."
