- Comment on Does Anyone Else get the thing where an otherwise nice-tasting cheese randomly tastes of vomit, or have I just been really unlucky and eaten a lot of mouldy/rotten cheese in my time? 2 weeks ago:
It’s the same flavour (from butyric acid) in both. It just depends on what your brain chooses to associate that smell with that determines the taste. So your brain is just switching between the two. Maybe look at the cheese packet when you’re eating it to see if you can help your brain get the right answer

Native English speak (Australian) and I didn’t get full marks when I did my Canadian permit residency English test. That’s all I speak and apparently not well.

Maybe the maintainer of LemmyNSFW actually meant a different NSFW acronym like “No Shoes For Whales” and was confused about the content they were hosting

Windows 11 felt like a downgrade before all the AI bs. Microsoft values me more as an advertising opportunity than a customer.

That’s actually really clever. Triggering an anger response with an urgency to act will reduce the victim’s critical thinking and make the phishing attack more likely to succeed.

- Comment on ChatGPT fried my drive!? 3 months ago:
How do you have the SAS drive connected to your Mint 22 box (what exact adapter/controller)? Is it going through a real SAS HBA (LSI/Broadcom-style, IT/HBA mode), or through a RAID controller / USB-SAS bridge / “virtual” adapter?
Reason I’m asking: there are basically two connection paths:
- True HBA/passthrough: Linux gets direct SCSI access (you’ll see a /dev/sgX for the disk) and you can usually low-level reformat it back to 512-byte logical blocks (e.g., from 520/528).
- RAID/USB/translation layer: the controller hides or emulates the SCSI commands, so tools like sg_format often can’t issue the low-level format needed to switch the sector size. That might be why the disk is visible in the disks app but not in gparted.
Given the screen shots I believe it’s the later. Can someone smarter than me confirm?
