I jumped off Reddit's cliff and landed here just like many other Lemmings.
I've been daily driving a Lenovo X230 tablet for the last four years. I use Xournal++ to take notes with the pen in classes and at work. Works great!
That's true, but usually they get their method right (or close to it) but fail on the simple addition. If you use it to help figure out what steps you need to take, you can then run through substituting the correct numbers in and make some real progress.
I just completed a class on hydrology and water engineering with this method. Got a HD. That either says something about the school or something about GPT. Not sure which.
It certainly says something about my willingness to complete water engineering coursework, I'll admit that.
Me, a young person: "both coffee and energy drinks are expensive. I'll keep drinking tap water when I'm thirsty."

Fuck I wish the politicians would give this to us straight like that.
Why is Albo's party spreading memes about three eyed fish instead of saying "yeah Dutton's nuclear plan is safe, but it maximises fossil fuel use in the short term and we'd prefer to focus on renewables"
My 2011 iPad 3rd gen.
A lightweight Linux distribution would make that thing killer for word processing and document reading. Might even allow YouTube videos to be watched again.
Any equivalent Android tablet would have custom ROMs etc. to get a bit more functionality out of it. I know it's not a tablet, but look at the Samsung galaxy SII - the amount of community development for that is incredible to this day.
Gotta love Australian politicians. This is the same bloke who, a week earlier, was campaigning against gay marriage.
You've seen a Willis Jeep, right? Marginally faster than a golf cart, but slightly less protection.
"That's a nice headlock, sir! I see that you know your judo well!"
Cinnamon doesn't support it yet either, so I'm also not on it :(
Me too lol
In Australia, you can't choose the suppliers. All the gas comes from the same place.
You can, however, choose the billing company. And it's the same story for electricity.
Uh...
Well, uh...
Well the confederacy didn't want to be opressed by the North!
Oh fuck.
I'm not sure what to do with this information.
I take it webmail is due to Exchange-based mail?
The €10 I pay a year for Exquilla is worth its weight in gold. It's about the only thing on my system that's not FOSS, but I'm not even mad because it works. 9.5/10 would recommend.
There is a reason why I don't use Windows on devices I own.
This. This is the reason.
Be very careful who you're tarring with that brush :(
Help with external 4TB drive
Hi All,
I have a 4TB drive that was originally in a PC connected via SATA. I now wish to put it in an external enclosure and connect it via USB, however this is proving more difficult than I expected, and from what I understand it's Windows XP's fault.
On attempting to mount the drive with sudo mount /dev/sdc /mnt
, I receive the following error:
mount: /mnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
The output of fdisk -l
is as follows:
```
Disk /dev/sdc: 3.64 TiB, 4000787025920 bytes, 976754645 sectors
Disk model: Expansion Desk
Units: sectors of 1 * 4096 = 4096 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sdc1 1 4294967295 4294967295 16T ee GPT ```
As can be seen, the disk is detected correctly as a 3.64TiB drive, but there is a partition that's read as 16TB. This, AFAIK, is because the sectors are incorrectly read as 4096 bytes long when they should be 512 bytes, and this is a thing that external enclosures do to ensure MBR compatibility with Windows XP.
I tried overcoming this by mounting as follows:
$ sudo mount -o ro,offset=$((1*512)) /dev/sdc1 /mnt
however now I have a new error:
mount: /mnt: failed to setup loop device for /dev/sdc1.
Trying to mount with sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt
only yields
mount: /mnt: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist.
I'm at a loss as to how to mount this drive - at least, without reformatting it. Is it at all possible? Once I've cracked the code, can I configure /etc/fstab
to do it automatically for me, or am I stuck in this limbo-land where I have data on my disk that's only readable with a hacky workaround? As a last resort, I think I can plug it back in via SATA, copy all 4TB off, plug it in via USB, reformat it and copy everything back on, but I want to avoid that hassle.
Edit: Output of fdisk -l
when connected via SATA. Note the sector size is now 512 and the drive mounts happily.

[Help] Sacrilege: I need help with KDE Connect under Windows.
Hopefully this is the right community to ask this question in.
I have been tasked with providing a way for a small team to send and receive text messages via a real mobile phone from their computers. Having daily driven Fedora since 2017, my first thought was KDE Connect SMS. Unfortunately, I have to be able to support Windows in this endeavour.
As such, I have three questions:
- KDE connect is available for Windows, however as far as I can figure kpeoplevcard is not. Am I mistaken? Is there a way to get contact names syncing successfully in a Windows environment, even just one-way?
- Despite the notification permission being granted on Android, incoming text messages produce no notification on Windows. I have read this may be a fault that occurs when the Android client was installed from F-Droid. Is this the case? I haven't made a Google account for this device, so perhaps I need to do that and install the Play Store version.
- MMS images appear fine in the KDE Connect SMS application, however they are only thumbnail sized and can not be saved as a file or copied. Can they at least be made bigger, if not exported?
I'm worried that KDE Connect may not be the correct choice for this use-case if these issues don't have workarounds. I may have to use Google's Messages for Web, but that doesn't allow concurrent connections from multiple PCs like KDE Connect does - and it will mean I have to deal with Google.
