Do yourself a favor and skip the USB drive - they are ridiculously slow compared to a compact external SSD. I found a cheap m.2 enclosure on Amazon and put an old SSD in it and the speed difference is breathtaking.

My SSD has a bunch of Linux distros grouped into folders along with Windows 10 & 11, every macOS from 10.13 to present, along with Rescuezilla, Hiren’s and a few others I can’t remember at the moment.

Rescuezilla was my #1 go-to during my days of distro hopping. Makes it super easy to try out a distro on bare metal instead of a VM.

Israel can fuck right off. Clearly, “never again” doesn’t mean fuck all to the Israeli government who are doing the same shit the Nazis did, only with bombs instead of gas chambers.

Fuck Israel. The US should have stopped giving them money decades ago.

All of that war and they are right back to where they were before we invaded.

Your tax dollars at work.

Why would you continuously record? Just record motion events and you won’t need a card that large at all, plus it will last a lot longer.

I feel like this is a product looking for a market. Why would anyone ever trust that much data to something so fragile and easy to lose?

And after you spend 14 hours filling it with data, it falls out of your shirt pocket when you lean over to tie your shoe, gets caught by a gust of wind, and is gone forever.

I am having this exact same problem on my MacBook Air running Ultramarine Linux, a Fedora derivative.

I finally gave up and plugged in a Panda USB Wi-Fi adapter. Not ideal, but it works.

Fuck him and fuck Israel.

I’m a huge fan of Joplin. It runs on everything and syncs to either your or their cloud. Been using it for a few years now.

Are we really complaining about gendered pronouns in source code notes for a web browser?

Is that what we are doing?

There are mountains of bigger fish to fry, y’all. Social change doesn’t happen overnight. It can take decades or longer.

Widespread language changes have historically taken decades or even centuries to occur.

Ask any woman or person of color over the age of 50 about the CONSTANT slights or worse endured every day for most of their lives for some perspective.

Fight the good fight, absolutely, but this isn’t worth getting angry over - at least not from what I’ve read so far.
