  • Discord has forums built in. I know everyone hates it when I mention it, but there is continuity on Discord and has been for several years now.

    That’s because it’s not exactly a great point. Look, we’re all glad they caught up to 1980’s bbs tech, but it’s behind a login screen. YOU HAVE TO GIVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER TO ACCESS IT.

    Discord had always been a square peg beaten with a hammer to fit in a round hole. Eventually gaining basic features for the things it was never meant to be used for. Forcing people to sell themselves out just to read some documentation on an open source project.

    I couldn’t agree more. I had a foot in both the MacOS and Microsoft Windows worlds at the time and can appreciate what a game changer notepad++ became. Having used BBEdit on the Mac since around the mid 90s, it was kinda more like “it’s about time” a decade later when notepad++ was released. I’m not necessarily comparing them feature to feature, but it was a much needed piece of software for Windows. I still have memories of opening up text files and being like … damn someone f’d this txt file up on a windows machine… again.




  • I’d use clonezilla

    E: It’s not that it can’t be done other ways, it’s just clonezilla will work and has worked for nearly 2 decades. Also there’s no information provided above about the data. So clonezilla is nice if it’s a complicated scenario.

    Plus, it’s a nice tool to throw in the toolbox once you know how to use it.

    E. Why do you feel like you have to use something like dd for this particular task? Less than 16 GB of data? Ya probably could have copied it over manually by now.

    Wow. What a zinger? No really, great addition to the discussion. Thank you.

    No, probably not. Love em or hate them, they have a pretty good record on privacy going back decades.

    Google though. lol. I mean that’s THE largest advertisement company to ever exist. The same company who finally admitted they were selling their browser’s incognito data.

    That 3rd party app with the better widget calendar is for sure selling.










  • It seems that the commenter’s intention was clear to everyone except you. The commenter acknowledged the need for RAID software or a specific file system, mentioning that it had already been addressed. Understood the budget and OP being an newb.

    Although their tone may have been blunt, they stayed focused on their original point.

    But you just kept nagging. lol

    Either way OP was helped and now you can sleep knowing you did your part. A true internet hero.
