Can’t read superblock doesn’t mean that it’s bad, the read could fail for other reasons. it’s a pretty generic error message that I see most times mount fails tbh

Thank you!

Piggybacking to ask if anyone knows of any external HDD that is SATA internally so I can take it apart and shove it into my system. The price difference is insane right now

I mean, if it makes good contact and is not moving it is not going to affect audio quality any more than an equivalent length of extra cable would’ve

You just aren’t allowed to call it literally “Parmigiano Reggiano”, no one is stopping you from making it. “Reggiano” means “(of/from) Reggio (Emilia, a city)”, I don’t see why it’s a problem to forbid calling it that if it’s not made there-ish.

“Grana” is the generic name for that kind of cheese. Its use is not protected

Where are the sources to back that up though? (Talking about the article, not you. Although if you could provide some historian’s assessment I would be interested)

I imagine not the uniqueness, but simply the aggregation was its most attractive attribute at the time. Knowing another copy exists somewhere across Europe isn’t really helpful if you had to travel months to retrieve it. Everything was there, ready to be consulted.

The arson is, as far as I know, an event that has been continuously recalled and depicted throughout history and, while it has most likely been romanticised at least a little bit, I struggle to believe it’s a myth. Both the library and the fire are important symbols, especially in a time where we are seeing similar attacks on freely available knowledge

I recently was on the Wikipedia article for the library of Alexandria, and it seems the English version doesn’t really talk about the fire (anymore), only saying things like

“The Library, or part of its collection, was accidentally burned by Julius Caesar during his civil war in 48 BC, but it is unclear how much was actually destroyed and it seems to have either survived or been rebuilt shortly thereafter.”

And

Between 270 and 275 AD, Alexandria saw a Palmyrene invasion and an imperial counterattack that probably destroyed whatever remained of the Library, if it still existed.

With no sources, instead painting it as naturally losing influence over time.

What’s up with that?

I hope they’re working on their own firmware behind the scenes, or at least enough reverse engineering efforts to regain some autonomy

In a world of homebrew 3D printers and CNC machines, it’s kinda weird there never was a similar option for a regular printer.

I shall be referring to ChatGPT as the DMMT machine

It’s better to be on a server that is encrypted but not E2E if the admin is someone that is well intentioned and abides by the sudo oath, than on a corporate “E2E” platform where they manage your keys themselves

am dumb

Yet more proof that “richest country in the world” doesn’t mean what Americans think it means.

Microsoft owns cubes and birches, didn’t you know?
