  • A map? Hahaha, that’s almost funny!

    Coming from South Mississippi, it’s up to Alabama as to whenever they decide to open their flood gates as to how many feet of water we get in a flood.

    Hurricane Sandy flooded us deeper than Hurricane Katrina. Alabama has proven more than once that they don’t give a shit about us down here.

    Flood zone maps are only useful when those pesky humans don’t intervene and open up flood gates and dams and shit. Oh, and humans literally created those things.

    Nature is no longer strictly in control…















  • I hear ya there, but…

    I be getting really confused when one config boots from /dev/sda, but when I have my backup drive attached (not the boot device), it boots from /dev/sdb

    Hell I dunno, I probably confused the hell out of my laptop plus myself with my cutout mod reconfiguration, but it’s happy to boot from almost anything now.

    Almost…

    Hey, at least I know how to restore to my previous state from backup via dd 👍



  • My 128GB is meant as an integrated NVME drive.

    Meant to be. I literally cut a service panel hole under the laptop to remove or reinstall it whenever I feel like, or maybe eventually upgrade it.

    I’ve been booting off of other devices, like my 8GB USB flash, 100GB USB HDD, and even Live Boot USB DVD drive. It’s actually been very convenient, as I can boot off of whatever the hell I want from USB.

    My backup is on a 4TB, so really no worries to me, I can more or less freely experiment around with whatever OS I want, and if it doesn’t work right, I can just dd my backup over whatever again, and it just works.

    But why doesn’t the dd 100GB>128GB work as I’d expect?

    Obviously that’s not the exact dd command I used, for privacy reasons.

    🤷
