could someone tell me why my drive thing is suddenly disabled

Google drive does not comment on such matters.

sinful copper
hey does anyone here use a web browser other than the major brand ones / can give any recommendations? I'm thinking of switching away from Firefox because I keep running into stability problems, and I don't like Chrome or Edge, wondering what good alternatives there are
frosty berry
There are no non-niche alternatives
sinful copper
i'm fine with a niche thing or a gecko/webkit reskin as long as it can run most websites
undone berry
Is chromium ok?
sinful copper
suspicious of gecko because i don't know the root of my firefox problems (i sometimes get runaway memory usage and sometimes twitter stops working in some tabs)
sinful copper
I don't like chrome because of various annoying minor UI issues, and chromium is pretty much the same
frosty berry
Opera is still a thing, and there is brave if you want to pay to browse without ads (i think), there are things like netsurf that are very lightweight but not sure about support of modern websites
undone berry
Opera have been doing some sketchy things lately
sand goblet
Yes, it's chromium based, but it's developed by the people that made the old power user opera browser
frosty berry
Vivaldi is a better opera, right?
sinful copper
yeah i'm deeply suspicious of opera as a company, even though i used to love the browser back in the old days
sinful copper
they had tabbed browsing (well, subwindow MDI with an embedded taskbar, which is 90% there) before it was cool
sand goblet
It has a built in tabs sidebar for example
sinful copper
might try vivaldi see how it goes
sand goblet
It's really good
sinful copper
i just - i'm getting tired of having to restart firefox multiple times a day
frosty berry
Ok right, i thought it was still the opera engine, but i guess it might also be chrome inside at this point.
frosty berry
I don't have any issue with firefox either though
sand goblet
Firefox has memory leak issues
It always has had them
I just have enough RAM for it to not matter
undone berry
I keep trying and failing to switch to Firefox
sinful copper
Twitter is worse than any other site and it only really started getting bad after their redesign last year, so I suspect it's just something Twitter is doing that is hitting firefox the wrong way
sand goblet
You could use tweetdeck
sinful copper
maybe
sinful copper
or maybe i'll use, like, IE for Twitter and Firefox for everything else
frosty berry
ok, maybe it's because of the 16g i have, but even if i have a lot of tabs, it's usually fine, if it's not i go to about:performances and see what must go
sinful copper
I'm not really bothered with memory usage per se, I have 16 GB
sand goblet
32g here
sinful copper
but sometimes stuff just stops working
frosty berry
Twitter is a memory hog with messages piling up
sand goblet
A lot of tabs would be around 100-150 for me
frosty berry
Just refresh the page
sand goblet
The main reason I can't move to vivaldi right now is because while it does have tab grouping, it's not a tree
vestal briar
20-30 for me
sinful copper
it's doing something that fucks the thread/process the tab is running in
vestal briar
I've been getting this on youtube recently
sinful copper
I can sometimes identify that process and kill it in the task manager and get "tab crashed" and it's fine after, but firefox doesn't reliably let me kill one process without taking down the browser, it only works sometimes
vestal briar
Feels like a new googley way to block firefox on youtube for a bit
frosty berry
It does, though it's hersy :p
vestal briar
Works fine after a 5 second wait
frosty berry
@sinful copper you can use sigstop/sigcont to probe who's affected without killing things
sinful copper
i'm on windows
(and windows has no equivalent to sigstop/sigcont other than attaching a full blown debugger to the process)
frosty berry
I do have shortcuts to stop/cont the whole firefox, highly convenient if i want to save power
Windows… sorry for you
sand goblet
I'm also on windows
sinful copper
maybe i'll set up a dual boot
frosty berry
I'd encourage you to do so :)
sinful copper
i'm not opposed to linux really, just the windows wsl thing has been good enough for my needs since getting my new pc which i installed windows on for gaming
terse sluice
once i set up my dual boot, i rarely went back to windows
sinful copper
i bought windows home to save money
undone berry
I don't play games a huge amount of the time, but I found the switching was too annoying for me to default to Linux
so my dual boot was pretty irrelevant
terse sluice
yeah the laptop i have without windows pro is the one i dual booted
sand goblet
I thought having to switch to game would stop me slacking off
frosty berry
I have hibernation working on both os, so switching is not too inconvenient
sand goblet
But I reboot so fast that it hardly matters
frosty berry
Takes a couple minutes, but no state loss
sinful copper
i wonder if there's a way to share firefox browser profile between windows and linux
sand goblet
I do not hibernate
frosty berry
I hate having to open everything again
terse sluice
yes, sign in
sand goblet
@sinful copper Firefox sync?
undone berry
Windows launching a million things at boot is super annoying
vestal briar
Fuck this
sand goblet
Manage your startup then
frosty berry
I always have dozens of program open on linux
undone berry
Most of it I want to start, I just don't want it to start in my face
frosty berry
They are not always the same things
terse sluice
i disabled so many things on boot that were useless
sinful copper
i think i set up a firefox sync account once and lost it
sinful copper
because they do this end to end thing where you can't recover your password
frosty berry
And a lot are processes in terminals
sinful copper
which is great but i don't know if i can register another one
terse sluice
i reset my password for firefox sync last week
sand goblet
You can reset it
sinful copper
it might have been the thing they had before then
sand goblet
You'll just lose your sync data
undone berry
Both Chrome and Firefox sync have been pretty good for me
terse sluice
you do?
sand goblet
Yeah, but if you already had a browser up to date then that's irrelevant
Since it'll just sync it again
sand goblet
Were you signed in on your phone maybe?
terse sluice
oh yeah i am. is that why?
sand goblet
They said it was e2e encrypted last I checked, I hope it still is
If it is then they can't get at the sync data but your password will be used to decrypt it
terse sluice
yeah it's still e2e encrypted i'm pretty sure
sand goblet
Vivaldi does the same, but with a separate encryption password
Tbh if vivaldi had tree style tabs it'd be perfect
There are addons that sort of do it, but it's not as ideal as the addon for Firefox
Vivaldi also has some proprietary components, because you're not allowed to open source any DRM code
Although I guess Firefox probably is similar in that regard..
Anyway, I'm off, o/
sinful copper
bye thanks
sinful copper
uhhh what the, fuck
pine vector
SecureBoot on in BIOS? trying to remember if that got me when i was dual-booting...
@sinful copper
sinful copper
not in a good position to check, i just booted into windows to check the gpt table
i'll look into it when i restart again though
pine vector
tired brain isn't picking the memories out. i think its either SB or encrypted disk related. fairly certain i remember seeing that screen, and having the same reaction though. (BitLocker, i like you...but i also hate you.)
sinful copper
well i turned off fast startup in windows, which something said might help
pine vector
yeah, that does help
sinful copper
with other ntfs recognition in ubuntu even if not this case
weird that it can't detect that situation though
plus it detected the volumes themselves just fine
pine vector
gl! i'm off...
sinful copper
thanks
sinful copper
I ended up getting it working... I disabled fast boot in windows, and also there was a UEFI option for the usb stick in the boot menu and i picked that one - either or both might have fixed it
rough sapphire
been doing a lot of ansible + vcenter today on a very large scale operation
and it's making me fucking depressed
sand goblet
hey man, at least you didn't have to reboot because you had too many firefox tabs open
rough sapphire
Hey man, at least you don't have to disconnect all other devices from wifi to download 50 mib file
sand goblet
hey man, at least you're not one of the infected
rough sapphire
Something something Infected Mushroom something something
( which is a wonderful group if you haven't had the chance to listen to them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2uZXvacw5Y )
rough sapphire
Heavyweight is probably one of my top 3 by them, honestly.
gentle moss
that whole album is excellent
gentle moss
the early stuff is pretty goapsy but done well
Converting Vegetarians is still my favourite
album i mean
it's when they first really started to shift to writing songs rather than trance
rough sapphire
Yeah, pretty good album
gentle moss
saw them do a dj set live, but saw then at the bar before hand
had a small fan praise chat
:D
rough sapphire
Neat
gentle moss
did i see runescape in minecraft while i was eating my lunch?
gusty oar
in 2-3 months whole world will be infected i guess.maybe 1/3 world will die
rough sapphire
@gusty oar deadbrain math there
gentle moss
fuck macs
undone berry
why?
gentle moss
got a customer mac here that my apprentice has been fighting with.
they want an RDP service on it
but also want to run some parallels image
after upgrade parallels had to be re-installed and it's now not loading their image
undone berry
I understand maybe 10% of the problem - but it does sound annoying
gentle moss
doesn't help that the whole UI feels like garbage
i have an easier time getting around a mac in the shell
it doesn't make any sense why the image stopped working
solid pollen
You gave a broken mac to the apprentice?
gentle moss
i don't want to touch that garbage
solid pollen
Haha fair
But you’ll probably end up with a more broken garbage in your hands haha
Or is he going to manage to lock himself out of the mac?
sand goblet
you have great faith in your users
gentle moss
i want to launch this shit into the fucking sun
rough sapphire
Welcome to Apple
gentle moss
i try to keep my hands off these things
i don't mind doing the hardware repairs on them but touching the software makes me feel dirty
apparently parallels images can just randomly break for no decent reason
especially during a mac os upgrade
man, it's gonna be weird not coming into the office for 2 weeks
undone berry
The corona stuff is gonna go on longer then 2 weeks im pretty sure
rough sapphire
apple has good screens
rough sapphire
and fucking amazing aesthetic
undone berry
So I assume its a contractor for the laptops as well
sand goblet
apple aesthetic kind of sucks tbh
sand goblet
hey man, I don't like to program on a bag of skittles
rough sapphire
even if you don't like it
they nail it
the hardware is trash
the software is pretty
sand goblet
if by nailing it you mean you can look at it and go "that's apple" then sure
undone berry
I'm also a fan of the aesthetic
but I also like the aesthetic of most thin and lights
rough sapphire
thinkpad also nails it's aesthetic
undone berry
I disagree there
sand goblet
I like oneplus' brightly coloured phone backs
rough sapphire
ok caveman
undone berry
I care about a laptop more than I care about a phone
sand goblet
I can see people caring about a laptop
terse sluice
i agree with that. me too
rough sapphire
everybody cares how everything looks in their house to some degree
playing it off as something you don't mind about is just cringe
sand goblet
I don't care about the black box under my desk that I literally never look at
undone berry
I could imagine a world where I care about how my desktop looks - but its such a pain in the ass to keep it pretty that it aint worth it
rough sapphire
at least put a plant over it or something
sand goblet
function over form
it's a nice case tbh, but I never look at it
nobody does
it's under the desk
the best thing about it is that the psu swings out of the way
rough sapphire
most room aesthetics fit with apple pcs a well designed case
about aesthetic
one time i visited a friend's house, and deadass he had clothes on the FLOOR
he told me it was normal
undone berry
definitely normal
sand goblet
yeah pretty normal
rough sapphire
use a bag
sand goblet
so they just go in this one spot on the floor
rough sapphire
clean clothes are folded
sand goblet
Nah that's a bit pointless for like, tracksuits
undone berry
Practically none of my clothes are folded
rough sapphire
you only wear tracksuits
undone berry
smartish stuff hangs in a wardrobe
sand goblet
yeah smartish stuff in the wardrobe
undone berry
shitty tshirts or whatever just stay in the basket
plucky ridge
You should donate old stuff you don't use
But I'm right there with you, I have loads of tshirts I could probably donate. I still haven't unpacked all of my clothes from when I moved to my new place and I STILL have trouble fitting all my shirts in a drawer
gentle moss
i've got some t-shirts i'll never throw
solid pollen
If you have the store H&M in your country they also recycle old clothes and give you a discount for it, one rock two birds like they say, or whatever the expression actually is two birds with one stone, thanks hem
gentle moss
like a fellowship of the rings t-shirt i got near release
plucky ridge
Two birds with one stone
plucky ridge
I guess I'm just not as sentimental. Although I say that and still hold on to my old SNES despite never using it...
Hmmm
undone berry
I've heard over here that a lot of places don't need tshirts. What they need most is socks and underwear because they can't/won't take used stuff for that
solid pollen
You can't compare a SNES to some old garby t-shirts
plucky ridge
Eh, I guess. From a sentimental point of view I certainly can
gentle moss
i don't think i'm that sentimental about them, they're just some of the most comfortable shirts
years of being smoothed out
plucky ridge
Ah I gotcha
I just have the issue that everyone seems to think they're the best gift for me
I'd rather just not get anything, I don't want for much
undone berry
I feel like the most t-shirts are new ones
plucky ridge
Most comfortable ones you mean?
undone berry
yes
plucky ridge
For me it's any of the ones that don't have tags
undone berry
not sure what happened to comfortable there
plucky ridge
Hate tags
undone berry
just went missing
tags are the absolute worst
No idea how they're still a thing
in the way that they are
gentle moss
oh, i've got a nice portal shirt too
idk, some new t-shirts are nice
suppose it depends on how much you spend on one
rough sapphire
i'll let you guys in on a secret
china is fucking amazing and crazy
i'm here in panama for visit
and there are these chinese stores everywhere, where they sell generic electronics, fruit, and sometimes coconuts
the most important bit
the shirt i'm wearing cost 3$
and they usually cost 1 ~ 2$
sand goblet
jeez, what kind of cheap shirts are you buying
rough sapphire
there is no other option
the malls here
you can actually buy things in the malls in panama
rough sapphire
at least where i live (USA), malls are gigantic and everything is expensive
sand goblet
You're probably in an arcade rather than a mall
rough sapphire
there's always a "chino a la vuelta"
chinese dude at the corner
there are so many cheap phone repair places
undone berry
Panama City has a pretty sketchy reputation
rough sapphire
laws don't exist
sand goblet
that's probably why it has a sketchy reputation
rough sapphire
i saw a metal spoon on the floor right after leaving a big supermarket
you get like, 5 bananas for a buck on the street\
PEOPLE SELL YOU FRUIT ON THE STREET
sand goblet
that's.. fairly common
night crown
Selling food on the streets is fairly common
undone berry
Have you left the US much?
In most of the world its pretty standard to sell food on the street
sand goblet
Yeah I've seen that basically everywhere
terse sluice
many places in the US sell food on the street
undone berry
Even in the US places like NY have hot dogs
rough sapphire
not on the street
undone berry
or at least so the television tells me
night crown
And many places have farmers markets, where they set up stalls in the streets
sand goblet
What, they rock up with a bunch of bananas while you're in traffic?
sand goblet
Sketch af
terse sluice
that's.. interesting
undone berry
This sounds like the people who come and wash your windows in the US
night crown
I experienced that in Mexico as well
undone berry
yeah
rough sapphire
yes that too
undone berry
you don't really want that
night crown
when you're waiting in line at the border, people will come up to your car to sell you stuff
undone berry
no way am I eating shit from some sketchy guy selling car to car
sand goblet
You're so naiive Safir
Haha
Are you telling me you were planning on buying bananas today?
sand goblet
So then you just bought something you didn't need
undone berry
tbf, that is to some extent the fun of a holiday
rough sapphire
she swallows bananas at a pace of 3 to 4 per day
we need bananas
gdude, my dude
sand goblet
Emperor's new clothes
rough sapphire
you can only be so smart
undone berry
But I'm still not buying no nanas from the car to car salesman
terse sluice
yup no thanks
sand goblet
Not buying that either
rough sapphire
it's ice cold and super healthy
fresh from the nuts as well
you don't get that kinda luxury in the us
undone berry
I wouldn't be surprised if the locals hated you for encouraging this behaviour
sand goblet
I have no idea why you call this luxury
rough sapphire
they sell you on the street
undone berry
I haven't been there
but I know in places like Lebanon
tourists just make things shitter for locals
rough sapphire
i don't yell at some coconut vender to crack open a cold one for a buck
rough sapphire
at the metro, they also sell it
rough sapphire
trust me i'm not the only one sippin' sweet nut juice
that's the price
is it too expensive? i think it's cheap
sand goblet
People running actual local businesses are gonna hate those people
terse sluice
cheap is not always good
rough sapphire
actual local businesses are like, 90% chinese people that came in the last decade
usually phone repairers or fruit sellers
sand goblet
There will be an actual grocery store somewhere
People can't just live off of fruit and glass slabs
rough sapphire
that's not a local business
gotcha
there are some super markets
but all the small stores are chinese owned
sand goblet
I mean, Chinese ownership doesn't mean they suck
rough sapphire
i didn't mention they did
sand goblet
What you need to be aware of is tons of the same type of store in a small place
rough sapphire
they're very convenient
sand goblet
They're not selling you stuff in your car because they like you
They're doing it because it's lucrative somehow
Like you're spending a dollar on 5 bananas but where did those bananas actually come from?
Why can they be so cheap?
You're just not asking the questions
undone berry
is it a part of the great panamanian banana conspiracy?
rough sapphire
i'm just saying, that you feel like a king drinking nuts in the car
sand goblet
Coconuts are pretty easy to get my dude
rough sapphire
bananas are so cheap because of the borderline slave labor, and that they're grown here, so the transportation isn't long, i know
i don't actually know if it's borderline slave labour
maybe those are the ugly bananas left over from the supermarket
sand goblet
They're probably cutting costs somewhere
rough sapphire
i'm not a banana collector
but the bananas are cavendish like they are in the usa
sand goblet
And if they're coming up to your car then they're clearly desperate to get rid of them
vestal briar
What have I walked into
rough sapphire
they bring in baskets full every day and stay on a side walk or on a grassy area near cars
do you want a picture of the naners?
they're fine
sand goblet
Have you eaten one? Haha
vestal briar
I.. I walked into someone's banana?
undone berry
I'll look at a picture of the nanas
sand goblet
Yeah, why not
rough sapphire
of course i've eaten one
they taste the exact same as in the usa
if you knew anything about naners, is that they're all genetic clones
undone berry
which in all fairness tells us nothing about the quality
vestal briar
Bananas are weird, they are probably the most portable but most easy to damage fruit at the same time
rough sapphire
"quality" means that Publix throws out tons of perfect food because of a blemish or wrongish shape
undone berry
I feel like apples are the most damagable
gentle moss
eple
sand goblet
We're gonna get a photo tomorrow and it'll turn out you've been eating plantains all your life somehow
vestal briar
Sure you can bruise an apoolie but it doesn't become a smoothie
sand goblet
:>
undone berry
I googled panana in the hopes google would figure it out - but no
sand goblet
Haha
rough sapphire
plantains taste like heck raw
sand goblet
They do, I agree
sand goblet
Apparently Panama Disease is a thing
It kills banana crops
And it's resistant to fungicides
It sounds like you'd have to know what you were doing to grow bananas
rough sapphire
none of my nanas are infected
sand goblet
Currently, a new outbreak of Panama disease caused by the strain Tropical Race 4 (TR4) threatens the production of today's most popular cultivars, Cavendish.
rough sapphire
actually, i do sometimes see a non-normal black banana spot
they're not like the average black spot
sand goblet
Nah it doesn't affect the fruit directly
rough sapphire
that's proably the disease
sand goblet
It makes the plant itself weak and then it collapses
rough sapphire
i cut it off
huh!
the more you know
looks like i'll be getting 3 for a dollar instead of 4
what horror
sand goblet
You basically just wouldn't get fruit at all
It's like 1.20 for 6 bananas here btw
Yeah, about 1.25 a kilo
That's plenty of value for me!
rough sapphire
who doesn't want onions in the car
undone berry
sounds like you're getting sketchy bananas when you didn't even want them for about normal price (although they should be cheaper in the tropics)
rough sapphire
banana goes great with onion
sand goblet
Oh yeah? How much for onions?
rough sapphire
1 for 6
undone berry
how big are the onions?
that sounds about tesco price
except you're on holiday in panama
so have no use for onions
sand goblet
The huge ones are about 40c each, but they're like, half the size of my head
rough sapphire
i'm visiting family
undone berry
thats on holiday
rough sapphire
it's been 2 months or so, not really a visit
sand goblet
At least the coronavirus hates warm temps!
undone berry
maybe you could be patient 0 of some new virus that jumped to humans via sketchy bananas?
then you won't feel left out
rough sapphire
yoo
check out all i learned today
i learned like, very little of the basics of pygame!
sand goblet
In the car?
sand goblet
So a young coconut costs about 2.50 here
Those are the tastiest by far
Coconuts are a pain in the ass to prepare though
rough sapphire
prepare?
the chinese guy around the corner cracks it open for me
i even learned how to crack it open
it's a special metal stabby thing
you just stick a straw in and succ
sand goblet
I mean you only actually need a machete or square chef knife
Was it a furry coconut?
rough sapphire
yeah if you wanna be a caveman
ohhh you mean those brown ones
no no i mean green ones
sand goblet
Oh green ones
rough sapphire
those have way more juice
rough sapphire
those have too much sugar imo
rough sapphire
those are from thailand
sand goblet
You don't like sweet coconut though?
rough sapphire
i don't like to be fat?
sand goblet
Everything in moderation
rough sapphire
sugar without the presence of fiber is digested very quickly
so it raises your blood sugar rapidly
which has loads of bad side effects
yeah but some things you just never do in moderation, or at all
like drinking alcohol or smoking
sand goblet
I mean, yeah, but coconuts aren't exactly an addictive drug haha
rough sapphire
not the green ones
rough sapphire
mangos are more like an addictive drug imo
mangos are too sweet
idk how anyone eats them
sand goblet
I mean to be fair you bought bananas from a car to car guy
rough sapphire
everybody
sand goblet
Mangos are okay, I'm not a huge fan
sand goblet
Bananas are empty calories too btw
Unless you count the potassium I suppose
They're just big ol starch bombs
rough sapphire
and have fiber
sand goblet
Not much
rough sapphire
i don't wanna argue diet because there are many dumb people who argue about diet
sand goblet
I mean, I'm on a diet myself, but I did a lot of food related study
Around 6 years of it
rough sapphire
i think that there are many proven healthy diets, if done right
sand goblet
Yep
rough sapphire
some are very high fat some are high carb
rough sapphire
what matters for me is how much total junk garbage you eat
yeah it depends
junk garbage would be like
cake, bacon, fries, chips, fried food
sand goblet
The one I'm doing involves portion control and replacing 1/3 of your plate with nutritious fruit/veg
And avoiding calorie dense foods
rough sapphire
it's probably the least interesting thing to talk about because everybody's opinion is wrong and right, and also doesn't matter
i wanted to ask a thing
sand goblet
Go on
rough sapphire
is it polite to ask people to look at your code and check if it's garbage or inefficient?
sand goblet
Well, yes, but most people don't want to spend that kind of time
rough sapphire
impolite*
sand goblet
Unless it's short
rough sapphire
how short would my picture be
that's the full code
everything in there is new stuff from today
sand goblet
It's an image and it has no syntax highlighting
So pretty low chances
Doesn't look terribly long though
rough sapphire

it makes a little shape and lets me move it
rough sapphire
that's not new
sand goblet
Also you're assigning too many variables on single lines
But hard to follow
On the other hand, you can do x, y = playerpos
Instead of unpacking it manually
Seems mostly fine really, probably could do with different spacing but I'm on mobile and it'd take too long to type out
Anyway it's late , so I'm sleeping :v

Can Foster the people with "pumped up kicks" be classed as a one hit wonder?
Nvm, they made more hits than I thought
All of their songs are "ahh I've heard this a million times and I finally know the name"

you could argue they're one hit wonders because they only had one hit
that's all i know them for

yeah, they're a one hit wonder.

so it will on it's own go to a location and has something like ```py

drone.command("Don't")
I'm modifying a syma x5c, one of the cheapest "good" beginner ones
You can get one for £25 and they are actually decent drones

i prefer $ sudo apt-get install drone
pearl horizon
This is my beard. There are others like it, but this one is mine. My beard is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it, as I must master my life. Without me, my beard is useless. Without my beard, I am useless. I must comb my beard true. I must grow longer than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must comb mine, before he combs his. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my beard and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of my enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.

having a full metal beard would be pretty sick

I think I fkd up something on github, usually when I git pull origin master from my remote server from my local repository it just goes through automatically after inserting user/pw, but now every time I do that there's a merge edit that shows up, and it's super annoying / time consuming to exit out of that screen every time, which then replies with "merge made by the 'recursive' strategy"
After researching a little I think it has something to do with the fact that I edited something on another directory / branch, that's not the master branch? Not sure, but I would like to be able to fix that

making documentation is absolute torture
working with rst files is absolute torture
i am torturing myself

@terse sluice how long does that take

That's why you should write docs as you are writing the library

question
can i use a USB drive as a linux installer for the external SSD?
yeah, sounds stupid but thats the only way to install linux on a 2GB laptop
gentle moss
if your laptop supports booting off USB drives i see no reason why not
gentle moss
oh jesus
those things are absolutely awful
idk if they support USB booting either
take a look in the bios
seems like they might
gleaming hare
ya wanna hear a funny?
torn raptor
maybe
gleaming hare
the only option when i press f2 to run setup on boot screen i that it gives a message:
american megatrends logo

Device #02 :
bruh !
gleaming hare
i typed it all out, case-sensetive lul
except the (my boot usb) part, thats just to know that bios sees my usb
O
it changed the screen
ok i configured the boot, saved, the laptop restarted and... nothing
just that asus logo screen again
btw the boot device 2 was an SD Card Reader
gentle moss
BBS popup might be a device selector screen
gleaming hare
update: i got it to run windows xp but no matter what i change it always runs windows xp
maybe i can try to...
boot linux alongside xp
gentle moss
you might need to do some bootloader fuckaboutery on the built in storage
solid pollen
Fuckaroundry we said
gentle moss
no this is very much a fuckaboutery, rather than a fuckaroundery
asus eee pc's are a fuckabout, not a fuckaround
solid pollen
Haha
gleaming hare
the most interesting thing:
the bootloader of BIOS sees a:
Rem. Device
HDD: SM-SILICONMOTION
USB: PHD SILICON-POWER
USB: silicon-power
yeah, the main storage on those things is some flash memory
gleaming hare
so all usb/storage i use seem to be from Silicon Power
WAIT
maybe
like
can i boot linux not from a usb stick BUT FROM AN SSD?
solid pollen
Why you couldn't?
gentle moss
if you can select boot device in some way
yes
i mean it'll have to be a USB connected drive at any rate
if it boots of USB, it should be fine
gleaming hare
it seems to choose an internal HDD (SM-SILMOTION) as it is main bootleader
gentle moss
yes, that's the built in flash memory
gleaming hare
every time i launch the laptop
gentle moss
if you press escape during post it might bring up a boot selection screen
gleaming hare
i'll try to do some fuckery around those
but first
windows xp test
as it seems the PHD is the storage i want to be the linux main storage
and the silicon-power is the usb stick
i tried a new config
letssee
ah
Start booting from USB device...

Boot failed: please change disks and press a key to continue.```how could i fix
hmmm
gentle moss
what installer is on the USB?
gleaming hare
i have 2 devices:
usb stick which has the linux installation shit
the HDD that will containt the OS itself
also i waited and it said:
gentle moss
yeah but what installer
the eee PC has a 32bit processor, for a start
so you'll need a 32bit version of whatever OS you want to install
gleaming hare

gentle moss
yeah that wont work
gleaming hare
extracted via UltraISO
gentle moss
it's a 64bit ubuntu install
gleaming hare
welp
gentle moss
i'd also not recommend installing full weight ubuntu onto an eee pc
you'll exhaust the laptop's memory just running it
i'd suggest going for a lightweight linux distro
like bodhi maybe
if you like ubuntu you could try lubuntu
gleaming hare
i just remembered that somewhere i have a laptop that kinda broke after a windows update
gentle moss
but at any rate, you're going to need a 32bit install of linux for that eee pc
gleaming hare
it had win10 and was running pretty epic
maybe i could try and find it for the linux
gentle moss
probably easier to install and run stuff on than an eee pc
they were a joke when they came out
now i wouldn't even use one as a door stop
gleaming hare
i looked at some distro and i seem to like crunchbang++
gentle moss
there are a number of lightweigh distros for older machines
the ultimate, if you happen to be running something on a toaster, is tiny core
gleaming hare
ik
i kinda want this E laptop to be my portative coding machine
and kinda featuristic and minimalistic
there is only one overall problem tho with this laptop
gentle moss
good luck getting much out of "features" out of it
gleaming hare
since its so old i cannot connect it to wifi, only LAN
gentle moss
1.6ghz single core and 512mb doesn't give you a lot of room
gleaming hare
ik right
also
i am atm using the Lenovo laptop with this always overheating AMD cpu and 8 (actually 7) GB of ram
atleast i bought a lan cable
an it can run TF2 at 30+ fps
also lol
it seems that i can have a portable linux on my ssd lulz
gleaming hare
ok ive got the linux on the drive
@gentle moss same problem
failed to load ldlinux.c32
gleaming hare
fat32
gentle moss
try fat16
gleaming hare
only things i can do are fat32, exFat and NTFS
people say that i need to use win32 disk manager
imager
@gentle moss
is that right?
welp
rough sapphire
I think FAT32's file size limit is 4GB
gleaming hare
yeah
rough sapphire
Ext4 or bust
gentle moss
my thinking is that there's a problem syslinux and fat32
which would be weird but eh, never know
seen people with the issue before
rough sapphire
Does Windows still not work when you have two partitions on removable USB drives?
gentle moss
windows still hates split partition USB's, yeah
gleaming hare
as i googled - everybody had a different issue
some needed to change the format of the drive
some needed to change the burning program
gentle moss
try those things then
and to be clear, this is on the lenovo laptop not the eee pc now?
gleaming hare
ye
the 32b version of the installer and the distro
the distro is CrunchBang++
ok i extracted the iso, ill go eat and then ill try
im back
it seems that i made some progress
now there is no error but a blinking _ in the corner
rough sapphire
give it time
gleaming hare
IT HAS BEEN LIKE THAT FOR 10 MINUTES
gentle moss
give it a break
gleaming hare
i also fixed a little error in the bios
it has moved the boot drive again
10 minutes later...
nothing new
still the same underscore
gleaming hare
what does "live" in that case mean?
gentle moss
that you can boot off it into an OS rather than installing
gentle moss
with such an awful piece of trash it's hard to tell what's wrong if it's hanging at the _
gleaming hare
i think its the MBR problem
gentle moss
what you could do is install linux to your USB stick and just boot off that
oh, did you select GPT?
gleaming hare
whats gpt?
gentle moss
MBR / GPT are types of boot record
MBR is ancient, GPT is the new one
old devices can't boot GPT
gleaming hare
i think i have mbr
gentle moss
the USB stick to install the OS must be setup to use MBR
should be an option on creation
gleaming hare
i think yes i have mbr
gentle moss
do you have another computer you can verify the stick works in?
gleaming hare
i saw that it said something like "mbr will be used on that device" or smth like that
yes
this current pc
gentle moss
well, see if it boots to the installation process on that pc
gleaming hare
oh
gentle moss
just to confirm the stick works
then we can rule out the idea of the install media being broken
i mean, i'm pretty sure i know that it's entirely the eee pc's fault for being a pile of shit
gentle moss
it's not full blown xp
if it's the XP that came with it, it's closer to an embed version
iirc
pine vector
eee's aren't that bad. its basically a PiTop at this point. i kind of want to pull my old one out now. haha
yeah, XPLite, for the most part.
gentle moss
512mb RAM and 1.6ghz single core is loooowwww spec
which distro were you trying to install on it again?
pine vector
i upgraded mine's RAM, ofc.
gleaming hare
maybe i can boot tinycore on that laptop
gentle moss
crunchbang?
gentle moss
min spec for that is a pentium 4 and 512mb ram
so i can see why it'd struggle on an atom n280
gleaming hare
i will try to do tinycore
gleaming hare
tiny core will do for test
i can even boot it derectly withour an external drive needed (but still i ned something other than the windows's C:)
i hate typing late-evening
is x86 32-bit compatible
?
gentle moss
have you tried rufus?
gleaming hare
nope
gentle moss
i haven't used any others, never had a problem with rufus
gleaming hare
oh finally it finished formatting
undone berry
I've had problems with not-rufus, but never had problems with Rufus
gleaming hare
ok might try rufus
ASA UUI finishes
cmon it takes more time to format a drive than just install the goddamn thing
maan i should've format it by myself
aight,here comes the task manager
dusky orchid
agree with the others, rufus just works™️
gleaming hare
should i end UniversalUSBInstaller mid-copy?
cmon, the ISO is just 19mb, why does it take 10+ mins to copy it over
the goddamn disk usage is ZERO
gentle moss
killing it mid copy is fine
gentle moss
well duh, you're issuing a command
gleaming hare
stupid question: when i am double-booting do i have to go to bios every time i want to change the working OS?
gentle moss
if your bios doesn't let you define boot order and only has an "on boot" selection menu
then yes
gleaming hare
else?
gentle moss
so if you overwrite the XP install when you install linux
gleaming hare
well i think not
gentle moss
it'll still boot from that drive
gleaming hare
xp is good
gleaming hare
i dont even use iiit
lulz
i just wanna have it for nostalgia
like x pcame out in 2000 or so
that was 20 yrs ago :o
gentle moss
just get a little brick and write "XP" on it
yeah, i'm aware
i was alive and building PC's when it came out
:3
gleaming hare
i cannot delete UUI because it is being used by the UUI :|
gleaming hare
when i take the drive out: System: 99% DISK USAGEE
2 mb/s disk usage is apparently 99%
gleaming hare
i did it
already
rufus did an explosion on the left side of my desktop
i had all folders and all apps in place
and theres this now
gentle moss
did you not check the path inside the zip file before extracting? :P
oh you didn't use the zip, nvm
anyway, don't use a desktop to put shit on. create folders.
a clean desktop is a happy desktop
gentle moss
the perfect desktop:
gentle moss
okay so it was probably a case of crunchy being a bit too heavy for the piece of shit
but you could try again with crunchy
but using rufus to create the usb media
gleaming hare
now lets try crunchboi
yes rufus said what was wrong with the cbpp
some syslinux version shit waswrong and rufus seems to fix it
tired osprey
why is it so hard to debug COM ports under windows
