@somequixotic: eh, I can't think of anyone here who dosen't either have a spare computer or a VPS ;p
do most people rent a VPS or set their own one up?
by definition, rent
unless you're renting it out to other people, or learning how to run one, there's no real practical point in setting your own up ;p
superuser.com/a/630760/10165 this is cute - it looks just like an answer, until you realise what the link is
what is a cheap price for a VPS?
@Hiroto Oh no, master is here! Hide the cookies!

Q: My old mouse for my old computer is broken. Where can I get another one or an adapter?

ScottI have an old computer with the mouse not working because the cable connector is broken on the mouse. The mouse connection is directly on the computer, not on the keyboard. The mouse connection(which is broken) on the mouse has 6 round pins and 1 flat pin. Where can I get an old mouse or an adap...

Q: Do I need to replace my CPU or Motherboard, PC not powering on

HelloSpeakmanMy PC will not power up at all, after thinking it was the PSU I replaced that to no resolve. When I try to power on the PC the CPU fan will move about 1mm and then nothing. I tried all sorts, but it seems removing the 4 pin power cable for the CPU will cause the motherboard to function (spins th...

LAST RESORT

yesterday I met up with somebody, he can't speak english, I didn't know what he's talking about, I sent him a pic of where to meet up, a pic of some doors and I said by the doors. Turned out he had some different doors in mind. I said to him I SAID BY THE DOORS I EVEN SENT YOU A PICTURE. He replied "You are so in the digital world, I do not use this picture from google".

@sabgenton Hey there! You're pretty special, aren't you? :)
er um er um :S
why isn't deleting a large file instant? what is it doing other than just deleting the link?
What OS? What file system? How are you deleting? Internal or external drive?
@sabgenton writing a journal entry, putting it in the $log, sending it to the Trashbin, which requires renaming , trying to fit it into the restore pile?
Bob

@sabgenton Depends on how you delete it.

in linux rm
still takes ages
if the file is big

@snarlingdarling Hey there! You're pretty special, aren't you? :)
05:14
@Bob like move command (even in windows) is atomic
spose it's just the deregistering processes
@sabgenton what is the file system being used?
it was ext4 but I've seen windows take ages to delete a file too
it was a harddrive image so like gigs big
it's allright was just curios
@CanadianLuke When Chuck Norris calls 1-900 numbers, he doesn't get charged. He holds up the phone and money falls out.
noot norris
There used to be a street named after Chuck Norris, but it was changed because nobody crosses Chuck Norris and lives.
@sabgenton in winders , the trashbin empty has always seemed to take way longer than it should, or would need to take, even since win98 or even 95
@sabgenton serverfault.com/questions/425162/… So they are going to tell me it goes through and unlinks all the conectivity , the next pointer , to the next chunk of data. That would make it very hard to do a "recovery" if ever needed? I donno.
hmm so i guess that still leaves marking every cluster that the data resides in as overwritable at that point? because there is no universal cluster list?
06:11
Well i got one piece of info. NTFS The file tables hold the pointers to the data, and when the data is all fragmented all over the place, the file table is bigger , holding all the locations the file is existing in.
-Puzzel piece 2, MFT does hold the bad cluster info . ""NTFS puts the address of the cluster containing the bad sector in the bad cluster file, $BadClus, in the MFT so that the bad sector is not reused.""
There does not seem to be any this cluster itself Points to the next cluster in the data. [mft-point to ]-->[First cluster of data, in that data is pointer to]--[Next cluster in data with cluster pointer]-->[last cluster of data EOF] THIS DOES NOT EXIST!
--It is descibed more as the MFT record says your data is found in Clusters 3490-39000, then 43000-89000.
(the use of the word "cluster chain" would lead me to believe that the information resides in the data clusters, but there is no indication that is true)
06:42
why not see where writes happen when you delete stuff?
the human worded data is so difficult ""FAT, statically allocated at the time of formatting. The table contains entries for each cluster, a contiguous area of disk storage. Each entry contains either the number of the next cluster in the file, or else a marker indicating end of file, unused disk space, or special reserved areas of the disk. "" Every cluster ? or the used by a file clusters ?
There is a $bitmap (by many names) that holds the disk layout, and it is updated to define what is used and not.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_space_bitmap suggests that having every "sector" in the "bitmap" would be crasy. and instead the "advanced methods" would be used. which have the disadvantage of "This approach drastically reduces the cost of finding free space, but it doesn't help with the process of freeing space.
If the combined size of the summary array and bitmap is greater than can readily be stored in memory and a large number of files with scattered sectors are freed, an enormous amount of disk access is necessary to find all the sectors, decrement the summary counter and flip the bits back to zero.
07:08
one forensics locations says they use the Simple 1Bit 1Cluster arrangment for the $bitmap in NTFS ""The method of keeping track of cluster allocation is relevatively simple. Each bit in the Bitmap represents 1 cluster"" whereismydata.wordpress.com/2009/06/01/…
Why does it take so long? I think i got it, because keeping all that stuff correct , so there was not a single item set wrong ever, even while other things are still going on.
@JourneymanGeek I will do that next. i got some many gig files to delete. Then i could frag the heck out of them, by writing 2 to the same parttion at the same time, and see how much worse that is.
07:51
how do you see size of a disk in bytes. disk manganger only shows MiB
well that's the smallest I can find
@sabgenton in what os? in windows do a "properties" on a disk to see bytes.
disk manager in windows
are you talking my computer?
because thats a 'drive'
not a disk
(I hate m$ for using the word drive)
a drive is a filesystem on a partition on a disk
@sabgenton drive or disk or partition, properties all the same, gives you the smallest number stuff (well it does here)
where are you clicking?
take an unformated disk item, Right Click on the Left thing, where it says the Disk # and do a properties, and look in volumes. it is still in MB
08:07
ok your in disk manment
yeah but not 'bytes'
@sabgenton yes in the disk manager.
@sabgenton so you want bytes, mabey some CMD thing would show in bytes?
It's not the same cause you click on the left disk and it gives mega bytes you click on the drive and it actually does give you bytes
yeah I guess so
I would never want to see it that way. burn my eyeballs out :-)
I usually use linux I guess Microsoft keep there gui's dumb
I bet your right and the is a m$ command line tool
if megs had the exact decimal place then it would be fine
@sabgenton yes they probably did a lot of extra math in there to keep it dumb (so i can comprehend it)

Or you can throw them all together (without the explanations) in a youtube video, and say the world is ending :-)
