Atemu, in What are the rules of buying used storage?
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

Original price doesn’t matter, you need to compare it against current new offerings. A drive like that, I’d buy for 8-10€/TB at max. because current new HDD pricing is 15€/TB at the low end.

What you also need is SMART output. Watch out for high uncorrectable errors, writes and whatever. I’d never buy a drive without having seen its SMART data.

Backup your data regularly and the risk should be very small.

Try ncdu as well. No instructions needed, just run ncdu /path/to/your/directory.

Say “go fuck yourself lul” into the mirror to save yourself some time.

jsdz, in The future of Linux

Well okay, since it’s up to me: Let’s have free software. Fully free Linux on every phone, including all “firmware” which has gotten awfully soft lately. No more proprietary driver blobs for ethernet controllers or cellular modems. No more proprietary DRM modules. No more “smart” consumer goods that come without source code. The free software revolution has gone pretty well in some respects, but we need to finish the job and put an end to all that garbage.

An immutable OS that run all app whatever are their package distribution.

Later a full OS rewritten in Rust with goods tools that share folder’s content accross all devices and mass storage device as syncthing do.

Let’s imagine a button where you click on add devices, then you scan the QR code and chose which folder you want to share. :)

Pantherina, in How can I fix these darned icons in Zorin Lite Xfce???

Looks like me what happens when you mix different sets together. No props for Zorin here

thelastknowngod, in Bluefin | The Next Generation Linux Workstation

I have long loooooong ago given up on distro hopping because, at the end of the day, most distros are close enough to each other that it doesn’t really matter which one you choose at the end of the day. These new immutable ones though… They seem cool as hell. I need to give one a go someday.

I think those icons on the left are in a DockarX panel and you should be able to change its looks by running dbx_preference.

bizdelnick, in loads of uninstallable dependencies on debian

It’s hard to guess what is wrong with your configuration. Show your sources.list.

To disable translation for commands you run in terminal, do export LANG=C.
