Maybe ease off the sugared lead a bit…

I would like to see a lot less of it

Are you on a single party state? If so you can record any meeting/conversation that you’re a part of.

The keyboard icon always in the system tray may have been an accessibility setting. I honestly don’t remember anymore.

I use Mint on a Surface tablet with detachable keyboard. When I detach the keyboard no virtual one appears automatically, which I prefer. If I need a keyboard there is a quick menubar icon that brings one up. I cant remember if it loaded itself there by default or if I went into settings to make the virtual keyboard icon always in the status bar, but that’s how I manage it.

Then you just don’t comment on a thread titled “rudest behaviour you’ve seen”. American isn’t a behaviour, thus the low effort comment.

Low effort comment is low effort

Ok

I never said Fahrenheit was better, just that it was perfectly acceptable for use as a measure of human comfort.

I’m not going to get into what I usually go into because I only commented to answer OPs question, not start a(nother) internet flame war. A lot of people who use Celsius go absolutely NUTS when someone so much as hints that Fahrenheit has some usefulness.

Fahrenheit is a perfectly cromulent unit of measure when the use case is for referencing human comfort.

The rage it incites in others on the internet is just a side benefit. It’s hilariously awe-inspiring just how wound up some people get over a personal preference for a unit of measure. Mr. Fahrenheit should be proud of what he accomplished.

With all of the poorly glued on accelerator pedals, these things should be flying off the lots!

And you just know that Hollywood is waiting for that one guy to die so that they can reboot this. Instead of just making an original nostalgia-driven time traveling movie.

Is it mosquito season?

Ask then how small their penises are if these look phallic to them…

Why hasn’t the market dropped yet with all the fuckery going on in DC? Because the impact of said fuckery has not occurred yet.

This is s completely incorrect take on the stock market.

Rule #1 of the stock market is that none understands how it responds to inputs.

Rule #2 is that it attempts to factor in future expectations, so if you wait for something to happen, the impact is already accounted for in the price if the stock.

Market frenzy, people piling on when FOMO takes over, etc all make it impossible to have any level of certainty. So it’s a valid question to ask why all of the current fuckery has not translated into market chaos.

Yeah this is what I’m doing now. I tried all of the tricks but they aren’t working. Unfortunately this dock is USB 2.0 so I think it will take quite a while. These are “only” 3TB drives, but I need to clean 2 of them before I can test. Hopefully sometime next week??? Haha.

Thanks, this looked really promising but didn’t work for me. lvremove said it couldn’t find the volume group and dmraid said that I have an unsupported sector size and it didn’t see any raid disks at me drive location.

I’m currently using dd to write zeros to the drives. I’m not sure how long that will take me on this old USB 2.0 dock.

I want to use RAID 1 but I’ve tried single disk as well.

hdparm wouldn’t let me run the security-erase or security-erase-enhanced commands. It was indicating an IO failure. I thought maybe that was due to me not giving the drive a file system so I went back to Disks and gave it one, but still no luck. When I give it a file system the drive mounts though, so no actual hardware issues that I can see.

I found a thread on another site about using dd to remove the last 1-10MB of a RAID disk in order to make their RAID appliance see the drives as unconfigured. That’s basically what I’m trying to do here so I followed those instructions but this Mediasonic bay is still not coming to life with the old drives. I might be at the point of sending it back and looking for something else.

Just for completeness, the command used to wipe the end of the drive is as follows where you specify the amount to wipe using the “mb” variable and you change /dev/sdX to the correct drive. From a thread on Stack Exchange.

disk=/dev/sdX && mb=10 && dd if=/dev/zero of=$disk bs=512 count=$(( 2048 * $mb )) seek=$(( $(blockdev --getsz $disk) - 2048 * $mb ))
