@Ledericas Unfortunately, this is often how it goes. The fact that I got some 30 or so dislikes and two SYN flood DoS attacks for simply offering my services I guess illustrates the make up of the crowd. Ah well, they will all relocate somewhere and life will go on.
@WatDabney @FrostyTrichs I started my friendica instance after facebook banned me for pointing out issues with the Covid-19 vax, then I started my mastodon instance after twatter did the same prior to Elon’s ownership. I’ve had some hardware issues along the way but we’ve got those straightened out. There seems to be the this false assumption on many peoples part that fediverse instances should be echo chambers like the old facebook and twitter were. I think it’s healthy for opposing viewpoints to be expressed, but I believe it is unhealthy to allow to degrade to ad hominem attacks, I run my sites accordingly, others don’t feel this way they prefer an echo chamber and there are instances that accommodate those folks well, and to me this is the beauty of the fediverse. I personally prefer long format posting because I don’t believe short format provides the opportunity for the depth of discussion needed to explore opposing view, historical perspective, cause and effect elaboration, etc, which is, of my nodes I spend most of my time on friendica. Friendica is however not efficient, it takes a lot of hardware resources to run it efficiently.
@FrostyTrichs Not sure why you don’t like it but just offering an alternative that is not going away at the end of the month.

@kyub @perishthethought Installed and will give it a try next time I acquire something I want to rip (which is basically any CD I acquire as the computer is more convenient than a CD player and CD-rot has eaten some of my 80’s vintage CDs).
@perishthethought I’m only adding that I’ve faced the same conundrum without an adequate solution.
@mbirth Not missing much, I don’t think the net IQ of that site exceeds a single digit.
@Mirokhodets Perhaps because nvme requires different treatment than a rotary drive and so is treated as a different device. I’m not psychic or at least not to the degree necessary to read the developers mind, but if it were I that would be why I would do so.
@Mirokhodets @floppingfish Actually the Linux kernel will not treat an nvme as /dev/sd, it will be /dev/nvme0n1 or some such.
@Phanlix Gnome did a number of things that irritated me when it went to version 3, then I found Mate which behaves like old Gnome 2 but ported to modern GTK. Much nicer.
@floppingfish Might check places on your desktop.
@floppingfish It says operation already pending. In Ubuntu and many other Linux distros, when you plug in a USB device it mounts automatically, take a look at df and see if you don’t have a new partition mounted somewhere you didn’t expect.
@possiblylinux127 To be sure, but I assume since he was formerly running Windows performance wasn’t an issue. No, it’s obvious he is more concerned with getting the clutter factor down so he stated a preference for a single large drive, and if data isn’t important or backed up some other media fine. If not, then you risk losing your data because sooner later drives fail. If performance was really the goal he’d raid a bunch of nvme drives together. This, by the way, is what I do for the system that runs this friendica node, along with an 18 core processor and 256 gb of RAM.
@possiblylinux127 @applemao I wouldn’t worry so much about efficiency as redundancy, better to have at least two drives and set up a RAID1 array, and given that the Linux kernel already has RAID, NFS, etc, I don’t see the point in being dependent upon additional software such as TruNAS. That said yes it’s just a matter of copying files to move the data over BUT a windows executable often will not work in a LInux environment even with wine, particularly if it contains what is known as a rootkit anti-cheat. You can however fairly easily setup a windows vm under linux.
@applemao Yep, I would just mount the windows partitions on /mnt one at a time and copy the data where you want to go, cp -a /mnt/data/ /newlocation/data/
@Cris_Color A lot of people mistake kind for being fake and not ever expressing disagreement, but doing so neuters what is in my view one of the most valuable aspects of these federated social media, the potential for opposing view points to be expressed and then discussed and hopefully some mutually beneficial solutions that accommodate both sides of an opposing viewpoint can be arrived at. That can’t happen unless an environment is safe and inviting and people can act in a civilized manner.
@umbraroze @ALostInquirer On the Subject of pixelfed, I recently (about a month ago) brought up pixelfed.eskimo.com/, but I seem not to be able to get it to federate. Any tips?
@somethingsomethingidk Lightdm stopped working for me on several machines with nVidia graphics after updating to 6.14.4 and 6.14.5, but machines with Intel UHD630 graphics continue to function in terms of their display.
It also protects them from a sense of personal responsibility knowing their true identity can’t be easily traced. This is what Mastodon doesn’t like about them.
@The_Picard_Maneuver @FrostyTrichs I think this is a common attribute of the fediverse in general. Once a post has propagated to other sites, the non-existence of the originating site is not going to remove that post, but in some cases posts may contain references to images on the original site and the site that it propagated to may elect to reference images from the original site rather than store them locally. In that case, the new site will have the post but not images that it contained.
