uwu owo etc., you know…
Also one copy of the data is zero copies and 2 copies is one copy.
ah, just like with beer
noice!
edit: oh, it WON’T work >4GB, misread that at first. Then not really noice in the end :/ Movies could be larger than 4GB (tho kinda rarely, I never go above full hd)
yeah, well, I really need a better backup system, I almost lost my stuff countless times now. TestDisk saved my ass everytime on more major fuckups, but sooner or later I’ll burn myself…
Thanks for the tip. Though I wouldn’t mind if it would work on almost anything - even like Android or some older systems. Not a real need, just would be nice if I could plug mymedia drive into anything and watxh stuff from it (maybe even from older, not smart TVs if it’s possible)
will FAT32 work on 2TB volume?
30 from it is stackoverflow, 10 are github, and 2 e926 pages.
14 werewolves…
it’s just suspiciously perfect
They used to deliver these things for free, in 30 minutes or less, or your pizza was free too.
I guess that too now kinda falls into the “too late to buy your own house” thing
Would it worth, though? I mean, is there a significant difference on IDE between HDD or SSD? With an adapter, SATA speeds on the long run would be bottlenecked by IDE if I’m correct.
without any checking of course, I assumed that machine is “new enough” to have some form of SATA in it, but good point
If you use mechanical hard drive in it, it worth a try to replace it with an SSD. After that, Debian should run much better.

Really the only thing you have to do after installing Windows (if Linux was the first) is to reinstall your bootloader from a live Linux environment.
If it’s Grub, you can look here: https://pendrivelinux.com/restore-grub-after-windows-install/
If I’m right, during the restoration of the bootloader, Grub will find your Windows installation too, and will add it to the menu.
Debian was always like this.
Many years ago I tried it, but didn’t really read up on it. Wanted to back up my Pi’s sdcard while the system was running. I even fucking named that script “online-backup”.
Now every time I ran that, after hours, I noticed my Pi was crashing, and never booted back up. I used chinese sd cards so I blamed it on them.
But this happened multiple times, just to learn I was using dd absolutely wrong.
dd was always a scary utility to me, and still is. I fucked up things with dd, regardless I quadruple checked everything 😅
but to answer the question; it’s possible, but you really need to know what are you doing.
You can always check its consistency if you run a mount -a
after editing fstab. But yeah, an error in the file can cause some annoyance-
And Bonzi even was a 3rd party thing. Now imagine that shit, just built into the system by that time. 😅
Heck, even MSN Browser was a thing and I’m pretty sure just because it said “Good afternoon” or some shit when you launched it.
I used to use Ubuntu, but nowadays I just go with Debian for servers (as well), but you said you wish to choose something else, so I can’t give you any meaningful inputs…
I don’t know how real the outdated packages threat, but I would assume, a server never really wants the bleeding edge software and Debian usually gets the critical security updates and patches.
But I’m no expert.
It is true that Bookworm is kinda old now, though.
