🚀✨ Behold, the riveting saga of #booting #BeOS on a #Hitachi FLORA Prius—a task so thrilling it demands a 1999 user manual and a sprinkle of Japanese documentation. Because nothing screams cutting-edge #technology like juggling #floppy #disks and boot managers in the era of #Y2K panic. 🤖💾

My experience with #FlashDrives recently has been mixed. I have no problem in encrypting them with #LUKS, using #cryptsetup or with formatting a partition with #Btrfs, for instance, using #gparted and doing other tinkering with #Gnome #disks. 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.

I wonder if anyone can help me with a #Linux #USB issue. I’ve got a new flash drive on which I want to put a Linux directory structure on {with #EXT4, encrypted if possible). However, using the #GNOME #disks utility to #Format it apparently works but when I go into the disk’s root directory, I can’t create any files – I get an input/output error. If I reformat the disk as a #FAT (windows(disk then it works again and so I’m thinking there must be some problem with the utility I’m using.

Summary: #RAID 5 was dead in 2009 due to the size of disks. #Disks are guaranteed to have unrecoverable read error (URE) every N sectors of reading. Disks by that time were already over N sectors in size, so these errors were inevitable during rebuilds after one #disk failure. In other words, array failure was guaranteed for RAID 5 at the sizes of the time. The same would soon be true of RAID 6 as disk capacities increased and URE rates remained about the same.

One important and often overlooked aspect of cybersecurity is proper disposal of electronic devices. When it's time to get rid of an old device, simply deleting files or formatting the hard drive may not be enough to prevent sensitive data from falling into the wrong hands.

A little-known tip to ensure proper disposal of electronic devices is to physically destroy the device's storage media.

Happy Hanukkah! 🕎

A few weeks ago, I shared the lost 1980 #games and #software of Israeli cartoonist Yaakov Kirschen, recovered from old floppy #disks. 💾

The collection includes ten games, demos, and experiments in artificial personality and artificial creativity developed for the Apple II, Atari ST, Amiga and IBM PC from 1983-1989.

Download them and try them for the holidays!

need advice on an android app to catalog several paper #books and optical #disks.

so, last saturday i ended up with two copies of «sky caprain and the world of tomorrow» on blu-ray simply because i did not remember i already had one. time to find a way to have a catalog of my books and disks on my phone. unfortunately, i'll rather have tla third copy if the same movie than use some proprietary cloud app :-/

any good suggestions for #android out there?
