  1. @doskel Only if we can force operating system developers to support two things:
    1. log-structured file systems, to move wear leveling to the OS's responsibility
    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

  6. 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:

  14. 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

  19. I swear it's the case that the smaller USBs get the more storage they hold...

    #usb #flashdrive

  20. If you need to test your USB media to ensure you have genuine reliable storage and the capacity advertised then this free tool will help:

    Not all USB flash drives actually have the capacity they advertise, particularly if they are inexpensive or with inflated capacities 😟🤷‍♂️

  21. I love it when Debian tells me that "all filesystem operations have been completed" on my flash drive.

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

    (I'm paraphrasing above.)
