Yeah, this. In fact, going with hardware that's too-too new can lead to a different problem on Linux.
OP, if you're buying hardware, it's worth web searching to make sure people have tried it on Linux and are having good experiences with it. Since most manufacturers only care if their stuff works on Windows, it can take a little while for Linux devs to write drivers and get them shipped in Linux distros.
It's not like all of them were important personal stuff. I just figured it was easy enough to save everything now and look into what's on them later. I'd just been doing dd conv=noerror but I need to see if there's a better way.
Some of my disks were still error-free, so there's hope for yours!
Why level downward to our dullest perception always, and praise that as common sense? The commonest sense is the sense of men asleep, which they express by snoring. Sometimes we are inclined to class those who are once-and-a-half-witted with the half-witted, because we appreciate only a third part of their wit. Some would find fault with the morning red, if they ever got up early enough. “They pretend,” as I hear, “that the verses of Kabir have four different senses; illusion, spirit, intellect, and the exoteric doctrine of the Vedas”; but in this part of the world it is considered a ground for complaint if a man’s writings admit of more than one interpretation. While England endeavors to cure the potato-rot, will not any endeavor to cure the brain-rot, which prevails so much more widely and fatally?
It's true, Lemmy's built-in search can be hit-or-miss. Unless something has changed, the best place to search communities is https://lemmyverse.net/communities (someone please tell me if I'm wrong).
Worth noting that there is an existing community at !askmenover30@lemm.ee, although with lemm.ee shutting down soon and no discussion in the comm about where to move to, maybe this should be the new one.
