@CanadianLuke I played for a while, but I don't know enough about JS to make anything clever work.

@MichaelFrank No problem, I had to learn it :P

MathCubes

For the record screw RUFUS!!!!

Don't freaking use it

unless you don't value your data

Can't believe this, it over wirtten my sdcard that I used for videos form my day bicycle ride.

When I seleted the flash drive

It reverted back and I didn't notice

I recover the data, and it's all corrupted

Michael Frank

Windows 10 Ransomware Protection is incredibly frustrating.

MathCubes

IT's not that

I only overwitten it with a 400 mb iso

Michael Frank

That wasn't directed to you.

MathCubes

I was expecting one or two files to be corrupted not like all of them

Any ideas why thou?

When I have nearly 100 gb worth of video footage on the sdcard

Why are all of the videos files corrupted that I recover and not like a 1 or 2?

cause I only witten at most 1gb ontop of them

I don't understand it

Aibobot

02:03

@MathCubes its an application that reformats your drive

Its up to you to be cautious

also

LANGUAGE!

MathCubes

I was

I pick the flash drive before I did it

It's cause when it got down

I decided to do an different iso and it reverted back

Or something like that

@Aibobot After you pick the flash drive, you logically wouldn't think it would revert back.

Aibobot

you still need to check. Stuff happens

MathCubes

probably an bug or lack of a feature that makes sure things don't reset

@Aibobot True but I did, I still don't have an compete understanding on how it happen before I did anything I made sure I pick the flash drive

But any ideas why it overrode eveything?

Instead of an file or two?

That's what I don't get

Aibobot

.....

Because its an application that reformats your drive?

MathCubes

How can like less than a gig corrupted and over ride nearly a 100gb of data

@Aibobot still....

Doesn't data records linearly?

Aibobot

02:13

becaaaaaaaaaaaause

It formats the entire drive

MathCubes

Like how I thought?

Doesn't matter. I think I test this on a hdd once

Aibobot

nope. Not always true on solid state

MathCubes

It wasn't an ssd

It was an sd card

I thought it would override the oldest since it was the first in line

How does an sdcard work than

Michael Frank

It also asks you if you are sure.

MathCubes

Yeah and I saw that

And it read fine to me.

That or it just gitch

Michael Frank

02:15

Then you confirmed you wanted it to overwrite your SD card.

MathCubes

one of the two

No

I don't believe

Michael Frank

It doesn't matter if you believe or not, it happened.

MathCubes

True

Michael Frank

It's unfortunate, just be more careful next time.

MathCubes

Careful is a joke if it just gitch. It's like the win bug that deleted everyone files

What I wanted to know why did it favor an sd card vs a flash drive. I would assume it favours the larger volume

Or is it the drive letter

?

Aibobot

02:18

naw, probably just by drive letter order

Michael Frank

It probably defaults to the first removable disk available by drive letter.

MathCubes

Yeah and it's annoying. but what ever

I want to know why did it override the data like that

It's illogical

I have recover data form hard drives before that I accidentally install an os over an partition

How does the file index work on flash media

?

Any ideas on that?

On a hard drive the index comes first with the format than the data and the data is recorded linearly usually form the left. On a sd card or flash it's whereever?

It's picked form random?

@MichaelFrank @Aibobot Or is there more to it than that?

Michael Frank

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the write mechanics at that level. It's probably "distributed" in some way to increase speed, but I can't really say more.

Journeyman Geek

More that there's typically some wear leveling algorithm

So data recovery might not work as well

@MathCubes technically you probably glitched

MathCubes

Ez

It probably defealted back and I didn't notice

Journeyman Geek

02:29

That's your fault

MathCubes

Program

Journeyman Geek

Naw

MathCubes

You shouldn't need to keep changing something

It should just remember or stay

Journeyman Geek

Software is largely dumb

MathCubes

If that make sense

True

But its an basic program

Journeyman Geek

02:30

You performed a destructive action with insufficient care

MathCubes

Not true

Journeyman Geek

I'm not the one with data loss

MathCubes

I check it before I stated to do that

I guess it defeated back once it was finised with the ISO file

Michael Frank

> 8272 Assets were not migrated to Lightroom as the following source files were missing

You what mate?! D:

MathCubes

Again, I probably shouldnt' have left my sd card in there without copying over but I just got up and mostly forgot what could happen

Journeyman Geek

02:31

You. Keep. Checking

MathCubes

And I spent hours recoving it for corrupted bascially useless data

Journeyman Geek

You do backups

MathCubes

Yeah

But that data was form the day before

And all of my hard drives was nearly full up

*Is

*are

That flash drive is for my nas that I was working on

I thought to my shelf after I get it finish today than I will copy it over

Etiherway it's done

Funfact OVM ISO sucks

And it doesn't like Debian 10 ethier

OpenMediaVault

*OMV

bwDraco

02:59

Well... figured out why my MX Master 2S was having trouble tracking on some surfaces. Turns out the sensor had to be cleaned ._.

MathCubes

I don't know why I am having so much problem with this nas build

First the PC didn't want to boot to the os

I don't know why this fixed it but it did

Upgrade the BIOS to the beta UEFI and force UEFI boot

And force the installers to use UEFI

for the bootloaders

then OVM don't want to install right or configure right

Shouldn't take days

Aibobot

OVM?

MathCubes

*OMV

Sorry

Openmediavault

It doesn't like debian 10 for some reason

Got it to install right but coudln't get the plugins to install

Their ISO doesn't work cause I don't have access or to lazy to move the pc for wired connctoin

And there is no way to connect it to Wifi in the shell cause apperatly debian doesn't ship with the untils needed for that

So the only way would be wired

So Right now I downloaded debian 9

I don't want to use an old version of debian but what is the alt?

Aibobot

eh, debian has a longer lifecycle

MathCubes

I know

I think I am going out for a walk...

Just want it to freaking work without losing my data which isn't happening for both

Atleast I learent something new

Canadian Luke

03:25

You should be able to get a "full" Debian install from their download site via BitTorrent or something, then burn that to an 8GB flash drive... That should give you everything you need until you can get wireless

@MathCubes debian.org/CD/torrent-cd

Aibobot

@MathCubes if you know what packages you need, you can dig into packages.openmediavault.org/public/dists and find them

Aibobot

04:06

then copy over
and install what you need with dpkg

MathCubes

back form my walk

Yeah

Just already to say screw it with open media vault and do it though the os directly

I am just really, really fusterated

northerner

04:49

Hi

MathCubes

Hey

northerner

I backed up an entire local drive using robocopy. I noticed when I try to access the backup, the folder just doesn't show in explorer. I can access it by typing in path directly and all other ways. Any idea why this is? Thing is I have to wipe the source so need to make sure it copied correctly

MathCubes

I don't know

Aibobot

@northerner might be worth asking on the main site

northerner

yes makes sense

you should be able to swap SATA cables freely between hard drives right? I have a primary and secondary and noticed when I swapped them Windows couldn't start

like on the mobo is one socket for master and the other for slave?

or in the bios

Aibobot

05:08

nope

northerner

nope it should work or nope it should not work

Aibobot

maybe boot order changed?

sata has no master/slave

northerner

at this point I'm nuking it from orbit

and praying it's not a hardware problem

09:45

enjoy

rahuldottech

10:39

I'm tempted to get a firewire card

I don't know why, lol. I just sorta want one.

Even though I have absolutely no devices that actually make use of it

rahuldottech

11:25

Hm, so I have one PCI extra slot and I don't know how to utilize it

I could get a firewire/serial/parallel port card, but I'd really have no use for it

djsmiley2k

11:40

you have too much money

#winning

rahuldottech

@djsmiley2k uh, idk what to say

djsmiley2k

:D

I'm jelly

rahuldottech

I mean, yeah, I have a bit. But that's only because I've saved like crazy for very long for this PC build

Also, a lot of money to me == very little to you

Aibobot

Firewire is dead.

You probably have serial headers already, just need a breakout header thing

so stuff I wish existed - a slot thing which combined a USB C breakout (from a USB C header) with 2 regular USB ports on their own header.

seems like a waste to use one whole slot for ONE tiny port

rahuldottech

11:57

@Aibobot I saw that today

On amazon

Aibobot

linkie!

Its probably on aliexpress too

rahuldottech

@Aibobot hm okay no it's different

It's a PCI card with both type-c and USB A

Aibobot

Ya

I saw that too

rahuldottech

@JourneymanGeek amazon.com/EZDIY-FAB-2-Port-Connector-Extender-Transfer/dp/…

It's for front, not a PCI-style slot

But...

Aibobot

ehhhh

rahuldottech

12:01

@Aibobot if you're up for some (mild) hackery

1 + 2 + 3

Aibobot

makes more sense to just get PCI headers if I'm going to cut up stuff

rahuldottech

I'd totally do that ^, except my mobo has neither type-c nor usb 3.0 type-A headers

Also, I'm pretty sure my mobo doesn't actually have serial headers

The PC I have: support.hp.com/in-en/document/c05269583#AbT9

Also also also can someone please tell me if this is a good idea?

djsmiley2k

13:20

@rahuldottech i guess i'm just warnin you against wasting your hard earned cash

@rahuldottech i'd stay away from running raid on em.
