how the fuck did reseating the drive actually fix the drive.

what.

do not do this on production disks, it will do exactly what I said (lol)

tip: to test a disk's write IO, use the following (writes 4gb random bytes to partition at /dev/sda1)

dd count=8000000 if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda1

my life is beyond parody. the hard drive in the steam machine I've spent the last 24 hours setting up for AGDQ is dead. what the fuck.

i am just going to stuff my portable hard drive with all I need to reinstall everything + backups and deal with it either when I get to dallas or when I get to agdq itself

we are literally an hour into a w10 reinstall and it still has not budged past 0% copying files.

windows will just kinda sit for an hour saying "We're doing a thing" and never give you any feedback

doing any sort of maintenance on Windows is way more worse of a fucking nightmare than anything on Linux tbh

Haha just kidding I think this hard drive is dead what the fuck

Okay I guess I'm speedrunning Windows 10 Installation at AGDQ

grub is going to make me pull my hair out

i love that live isos just have a single large squashfs that they use for the entire filesystem so i can copy the whole 2gb image in seconds to my flash drive instead of windows taking 15 minutes

bittorrent, the p2p linux iso sharing protocol

I guess I'm dual booting my steam machine

why does my vita keep spontaneously waking up

wow I'm actually just fucking unable to do anything, my sinuses hurt so much

i love monitor lizards

i'm drawing a bath because all i can think about is how much my face hurts gjhfdklgjfdlk
