Nothing like the beauty of windows having a modern UI with a hard drive icon drawn by some intern in 1998

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If it makes you feel any better the intern got hired full-time.

I like my partners like I like my filesystems.

FAT and 32.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago

Well, I'm glad its 32, and not the ones previous

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like em like I like my encryption. Old and already cracked.

Your taste in partners is as bad as your taste in filesystems. Who uses FAT32 in 2023? At least use NTFS

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Who uses FAT32 in 2023?

Any EFI partition?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why would anybody use NTFS? btrfs ftw. Also all EFI partitions are FAT. And lastly, if you want a USB stick to be portable across operating systems, FAT is still the way to go

Please teach me how to connect an external drive over NVMe

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago
  • Open PC (if not open already)
  • Plug in
  • Profit

Everything can be portable if the PC is open enough

Specifically, she wants to mount the D:.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

And then you ask for the C: and they block you on tinder.

My aunts friends are so angry sometimes.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (7 children)

I don't know what is wrong with my NTFS harddrive. Why do you insist on having EXT?

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Because ext supports proper access rights from actual operating systems.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago

I GNU you were gonna say that, sick burn dude

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Akshually

NTFS is also posix compatible. If - for some unimaginable reason - you want to use an NTFS drive with linux only, you can set permissions, but it will break Windows compatibility. More info here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/11840/how-do-i-use-chmod-on-an-ntfs-or-fat32-partition#74851

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Of course windows does not properly support the one disk format they use. I did even use NTFS for a while cause the ntfs-3g driver has an option to force lowercase. Now I have upgraded to EXT4 with case folding.

I went to the comments to ask if she meant ext3 or ext4 but after a moment I figured it was just external abbreviation.. Made a lot more sense 😅

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

nah, D: is obviously your secondary internal drive for storage, because C: is an ssd for performance

she actually wants the E: 🏳️‍⚧️

She wants the scared and amazed face? I don't get it.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Dick. the Dick. D: is usually where the external hard drive is mounted when you only have a single drive, which is usually C.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And you normally put your dick in the external hard drive?

It’s a micro USB drive, he flashed it and all the cheerleaders giggled

You know, this could be a pretty funny Linux joke, but the comic had to ruin it with some cringey dick joke.
