  • One thing to keep in mind though, is even on ssds you need to encrypt your data to be absolutely sure it isn’t recoverable. Nothing more permanently unrecoverable than deleting your encryption key short of physically destroying the media.

    One nifty fact about ssds is they usually have a good amount of extra space (over provisioning, with newer drives having less so than older ones) to allow the controller to swap out bad blocks without losing available space or use it as cache. Because of this, you may have normally inaccessible blocks that still contain data but have been taken out of the normal usage pool.

    How do you get those to stay? One of my biggest complaints about that clanker is the fucker can’t remember basic directives for very long, and I’m constantly telling it to stay in the language I’m using instead of fucking off and doing whatever else it feels like doing.






  • As soon as I found that three games weren’t going to work 100% on Linux, particularly Mint for example, then Linux was not going to be my choice.

    Is that because your games need a rootkit to let you play, or is it an actual incompatibility? I’ve been running Bazzite at home for over a year now with minimal issues.

    Linux may have some advantages and I like it that it is there for people to go to for whatever reason. I just hate it when there are people who’re going around just telling people what to use because they use it.

    People recommend moving away from the company that abuses it’s users and is enshittifying it’s OS to the point it’s becoming slop. And I’m not a windows hater, I support it professionally and have for over a decade. But the writing is unfortunately on the wall, so finding ways to make your system work better for you is a good idea before Microsoft really fucks you over with a bad update that bricks your system.
