Just email the author and ask for a copy

My life’s a mess, because under that dress she has a P - E - N - I - S

Yes!

I never thought I’d say this, but looks like we need more pandemics!

That’s half the reason I like Thunderbird. Email hasn’t changed for 20 years, and neither has Thunderbird’s interface. I don’t need shadows and 3D effects and stylised colours and buttons, I just want a white page with black text displaying the content of my incoming messages.

My uni also provided MATLAB, but I just used Octave instead for all assignments that required it and was never asked about it or told I couldn’t.

Haha! Australia is a full democracy? What a joke!

Australia is America’s bitch. Even if our politicians gave a shit, they couldn’t do anything.

I’ve been running one with a dozen or more users on bare metal at home for the last two years. A little bit of spam but otherwise fine. No deliverability issues or anything.

Sadly no, because while Android is based on Linux, it is so far removed that the kernel is wildly different. Some teams such as mobian, SFOS, postmarketOS, etc. have got fair dinkum Linux running on android devices though.

I’ve been daily driving a Lenovo X230 tablet for the last four years. I use Xournal++ to take notes with the pen in classes and at work. Works great!

Fuck I wish the politicians would give this to us straight like that.

Why is Albo’s party spreading memes about three eyed fish instead of saying “yeah Dutton’s nuclear plan is safe, but it maximises fossil fuel use in the short term and we’d prefer to focus on renewables”

Cinnamon doesn’t support it yet either, so I’m also not on it :(

In Australia, you can’t choose the suppliers. All the gas comes from the same place.

You can, however, choose the billing company. And it’s the same story for electricity.

It’s just missing “SOLS” written down one side

Just corebooted my X230T daily driver. I’ve had the x220 keyboard for years and just upgraded the WiFi card, too. I want to keep this thing running as long as possible!

Haha thanks. I think it’s a lost cause! Perhaps I shouldn’t have worded the post the way I did.

I suspect this is what I’ll have to do. I was hoping to avoid it as that’ll take a weekend of copying, but I might just have to bite the bullet.

I’m not using Windows. I run Debian on this server.

The bulk of external enclosures that money can buy tell the computer they’re plugged into that the disks have logical sector sizes of 4096 bytes, apparently for compatibility with >2TB drives on Windows XP.

I do not need compatibility with Windows XP as the current year is 2024. My disk has logical sectors 512 bytes in size, but the external enclosures don’t report that. I want to know how I can mount the disk anyway, despite the enclosure’s attempts to thwart me. I know the disk is fine, as it is detected with 512 byte sectors and mounts happily via SATA.

It’s never been in a Windows machine.

The only enclosure I have that works out of the box is one of those “SATA to USB adaptors” rather than a bona fide “3.5 inch drive enclosure”. It’s not ideal for long-term use.

I wonder if there’s a place to find out if any given make/model of enclosure will report the sector size as 512 bytes. Then, presumably, one could purchase an enclosure off that list and be confident the disk will be readable.
