Khurram Wadee ✅<p>My experience with <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/FlashDrives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FlashDrives</span></a> recently has been mixed. I have no problem in encrypting them with <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/LUKS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LUKS</span></a>, using <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/cryptsetup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cryptsetup</span></a> or with formatting a partition with <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Btrfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Btrfs</span></a>, for instance, using <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/gparted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gparted</span></a> and doing other tinkering with <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gnome</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/disks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>disks</span></a>. But the problem has been with the actual drives themselves. The cheaper ones seem to have quite a few bad sectors, etc. and so they’re not really reliable for medium term storage.</p><p>1/2</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Hardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hardware</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/StorageDevices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StorageDevices</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Unix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Unix</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/GNU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GNU</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fedora</span></a></p>

SleepyCatten<p>Just noticed how the physical size of the memory sticks (aka USB flash drives) we have is inversely proportional to their storage capacity 🤭</p><p><a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/MemorySticks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MemorySticks</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/FlashDrives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FlashDrives</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/USB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USB</span></a></p>
