Updating BIOS via Linux ? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] gpstarman 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Thanks for the suggestion.

I presume from your tone that it is safe to do. Because, I don't wanna brick my UEFI.

Need help on SATA to USB in c/askelectronics@discuss.tchncs.de

Thank You.

What If I used 2 USBs (one for data and other for 0.5A) + 12V/1A power supply, will it suffice my need of 5V/0.75A + 12V/0.75V?

So unless your computer has charging ports, capable of delivering extra current

Mine is a Laptop but it's adapter is 19V.

For the product you suggested, I'm looking for cheap products in terms of price.

To transfer data from my old HDD to SSD.

So as per the other person's reply

Original usb ports often maxed out at 500ma.

So If I used 2 USBs (one for data and other for 500ma) + 12V/1A power supply, will it suffice my need of 5V/0.75A + 12V/0.75V?

I know but I will say that the name is a bit misleading. Electronics includes everything from consumer to industrial, circuit level.

AskCircuitLevelElctronics , AskElectonicDesign maybe appropriate instead of using the Umbrella term of AskElectronics and then restricting it to only circuit level and electronic designs.

This is not any kind of aggression. Just my humble opinion.

[SOLVED] How to copy existing Timeshift Snapshot to another drive? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] gpstarman 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Thanks man.

replace reddit for tech questions.

The thing is as of right now most Lemmy users are just tech enthusiasts. We want all sort of people to create a more robust community. I want to Lemmy to fully replace reddit in terms of amount of users, communities, posts and activeness.

Let's just give Lemmy some time.

open an issue

Will do.

I actually mentioned you in three different ways and some shows on some ui but not on another. Lemmy needs some basic standardization between instances.

/media or /mnt or anywhere ? Discussion. (self.linux)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by gpstarman to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Where should I mount my internal drive partitions?

As far as I searched on the internet, I came to know that

/Media = mount point for removable media that system do it itself ( usb drive , CD )

/Mnt = temporarily mounting anything manually

I can most probably mount anything wherever I want, but if that's the case what's the point of /mnt? Just to be organised I suppose.

TLDR

If /mnt is for temporary and /media is for removable where should permanent non-removable devices/partitions be mounted. i.e. an internal HDD which is formatted as NTFS but needs to be automounted at startup?

Asking with the sole reason to know that, what's the practice of user who know Linux well, unlike me.

I know this is a silly question but I asked anyway.

Official Unixporn Community ? (self.linux4noobs)
 

So which one is actually official one? I can't describe what "official" mean here, maybe the one that actually came from reddit or the one with more subsscribers or one with more activity ?

Also Why there are multiple copies of same community in different instances? Isn't the whole point of lemmy is that it is federated?

There is also three linux4noob communities 🥲
