Kadonneiden teknologioiden historiaa penkova sarjamme jatkuu taas

Tällä kertaa käymme läpi, mitä tapahtui vuosituhannen alun formaattisodassa, jossa taisteltiin muistikorttien kuninkuudesta.

Eli.. mihin ja miksi xD ja Memory Stick katosivat?

📜🎩 Oh look, someone just invented a magic LLM that doesn't need attention! Apparently, it's so good you can just hand it your diary and it'll read it till the end of time. But hey, wouldn't it be easier to just buy a bigger memory stick? 🙃💾

@nixCraft nearly all suitably encrypted. No FDE.

OpenZFS encryption for:

* the sensitive part of a mobile hard disk drive

* three low-spec USB memory sticks that add around 145 GiB persistent removable L2ARC to a circa 2014 HP ZBook with 32 G memory and a ~1 TB internal HDD.

GELI for 16 G swap.

GELI for 915 G /

tmpfs for /tmp/

<https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/10256>

「… blocks in the L2ARC have the exact same on-disk representation as they do in the main pool. …」

geli(8) <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=geli&sektion=8&manpath=freebsd-release> – automatically configured when FreeBSD was installed.

tmpfs(4) <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=tmpfs&sektion=4&manpath=freebsd-current> (FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT)

Après des années de profitage sans scrupule de gros radin à écouter gratos l'excellent #podcast gaming/tech/geek #torrefaction des sieurs @Cafeine et @Faskil , j'ai fini par les supporter à mon petit niveau en contribuant sur #patreon!

Et bien m'en a pris ! L'écoute de leurs souvenirs de #joystick période #future dans #memorystick est délectante à souhait ! Lecteur assidu de Joystick jusqu'en 1999, je n'avais pas connu cette période, je m'instruit ! 🙂

Dear Friends of computer easeware,
...that is like hardware but easy now... ​:ablobcatbongokeyboard:​
Just added 64GB of #extra #storage to my #home server. Plugged in a #memory-stick, I had lying around, catching dust and snails. Now, fueled up with #green #tea and a break in the #weed #patch I #pretend is a #wild #garden. ​:blobcatstrong:​

I took the #enclosed pic somewhere near #Victoria #Rail Station in #Westminster. In those days I used to travel by coach (similar to #Greyhound Buses). Westminster was guarded by please-police with machine guns and the SAS dressed as tramps/hobos on Westminster bridge. ​:ablobcatcoffee:​

Those were the days, when everyone #breathed in #pollution and viruses will-nilly. Wifi was boosted by microwaves that few could hear or feel. 📶

As someone #immune to life, I am pleased to have survived Dr #WHO (World Health Organisation), the collapse of the #Empire Strikes backing and of course Maga+Puttin' (or #crazy-golf as it is known in UK (United #Kindness).

Anyways enough #ranting from moi (ooh #la-la), je parlez les #fromage Farage. Which I think is a bad egg... or is that fabarge? 😆

Have a great day. Be good or bad but be Nappy... eh #happy... 🎉

Hello Mastodon, je lance un petit appel à l'aide pour tenter de récupérer les données d'une #CléUsb récalcitrante. Depuis quelques jours, à chaque tentative de connexion un message d'erreur s'affiche : erreur entrée/sortie.
Y a-t-il un moyen quelconque de récupérer les données (19 Go d'après le gestionnaire de fichiers) ou bien c'est mort ? Ci-dessous des captures d'écran sous Linux, mais c'est pareil sous Windows.
Le repouet vous procurera le poil soyeux !
