Nothing like the beauty of windows having a modern UI with a hard drive icon drawn by some intern in 1998

No, CD-ROM is /dev/sr0

[–] RojoSanIchiban@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Bah! This is clearly a windows meme! Take it back to c/linux!

I like my partners like I like my filesystems.

FAT and 32.

[–] Resistentialism@feddit.uk 32 points 1 year ago

Well, I'm glad its 32, and not the ones previous

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like em like I like my encryption. Old and already cracked.

Your taste in partners is as bad as your taste in filesystems. Who uses FAT32 in 2023? At least use NTFS

[–] nightdice@feddit.de 19 points 1 year ago

Who uses FAT32 in 2023?

Any EFI partition?

[–] elfahor@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why would anybody use NTFS? btrfs ftw. Also all EFI partitions are FAT. And lastly, if you want a USB stick to be portable across operating systems, FAT is still the way to go

I prefer them to be exFAT.

She wants the /dev/sdb

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 37 points 1 year ago (5 children)

/dev/nvme1n1p1

[–] original_ish_name@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Please teach me how to connect an external drive over NVMe

[–] 30p87@feddit.de 18 points 1 year ago

Open PC (if not open already)
Plug in
Profit

Everything can be portable if the PC is open enough

My mind immediately went to ext as in ext4 the filesystem

[–] cryostars@lemmyf.uk 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Then u realized why ur still a virgin?

You misspelled Giga-Chad

[–] sounddrill@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz 30 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I'm not because I use btrfs 😎

There's only one D I recognize.

[–] AffineConnection@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

Specifically, she wants to mount the D:.

[–] Wage_slave@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 year ago

And then you ask for the C: and they block you on tinder.

My aunts friends are so angry sometimes.

[–] fernandu00@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 year ago

I went to the comments to ask if she meant ext3 or ext4 but after a moment I figured it was just external abbreviation.. Made a lot more sense 😅

[–] 00dani@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

nah, D: is obviously your secondary internal drive for storage, because C: is an ssd for performance

she actually wants the E: 🏳️‍⚧️

I don't know what is wrong with my NTFS harddrive. Why do you insist on having EXT?

[–] Chais@sh.itjust.works 51 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Because ext supports proper access rights from actual operating systems.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 31 points 1 year ago

I GNU you were gonna say that, sick burn dude

[–] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Akshually

NTFS is also posix compatible. If - for some unimaginable reason - you want to use an NTFS drive with linux only, you can set permissions, but it will break Windows compatibility. More info here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/11840/how-do-i-use-chmod-on-an-ntfs-or-fat32-partition#74851

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 19 points 1 year ago

Of course windows does not properly support the one disk format they use. I did even use NTFS for a while cause the ntfs-3g driver has an option to force lowercase. Now I have upgraded to EXT4 with case folding.

She wants the scared and amazed face? I don't get it.

[–] fushuan@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Dick. the Dick. D: is usually where the external hard drive is mounted when you only have a single drive, which is usually C.

[–] eochaid@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And you normally put your dick in the external hard drive?

Nope, she meant the ext4 drive mounted to /mnt/homework

You know this one's dated because I'm pretty sure by today's standards having only a C: drive is quite unusual. Hard to find statistics on it but I'd wager most people have at least 2 storage devices, especially an SSD / HDD combo is pretty popular.
