Yeh - hyphen are superfluous.
I’m old… Reckon I have been secretly doing the dd on my own head… Or too much powershell in the day job.
Eta: the hyphens are there to stop the unwise copypastaing the code and trashing their system - that’s my other excuse and I am sticking to it!
And definitely don’t mention the
dd -if /dev/urandom -of /dev/sda
I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it…
Obvious isn’t it? What is, these days, considered “left” used to be centre right…
We used to use virtual box on windows with an immutable hard disk to boot the environment with storage, for persistence, elsewhere (usb for example) if required. Just used standard ubuntu for the guest distro.
Once you shut down the VM the vhd reverts to as installed. It’s a bit painful distributing the system but can be done.
You can prevent ordinary users messing with the immutable setting as well if that is a concern.
Wine Is Not an Emulator…
But only if its the woman who wants the divorce… And then only if the man’s income is above $1000000 otherwise they are poor and therefore should be in a labour camp/work for Amazon anyway. If they are same sex they go to the camp anyway.
Not sure if /s is appropriate cos I am a “right ponder” and don’t know how close to the truth I am…
Is VSS even a backup?
Nope, not even close.
I thought it just copies old revisions of files into that shadow area
It just copies the deltas…
Backups can use vss to get a static image of the volume (deltas are written to the shadow area, which isn’t backed up, whilst the backup is running) it’s a little different for vhdx files on VMs but basically the same.
It’s magic… And often means that I don’t have to restore lost files from backup, just view the old versions and grab a copy from there.
Excellent! Can’t wait to find out what one looks like…
No… Wait… :)
Not my problem… Whatever my SO/surviving descendants want is good by me.
True British reserve there… Glad you held back, wot?!
BTW for those who aren’t British, the above is a message agreeing whole heartedly with the chap expressing disdain for the Daily Fail.
it’s because you guys speak British, not English!
Fighting talk, sirrah! Fighting talk… But yes, I guess.
British English has been described as three languages dressed up in a trenchcoat that go around mugging other languages in dark alleys and stealing the best bits…
I would ask “why did you left ponders choose to change the pronunciation to zee?” - though given many USAian pronunciations are, apparently, closer to Elizabethan English than the current UK sounds I wouldn’t like to guess which came first the zed or the zee…
I think “first lady” is referring to the absence of Meliana and omnipresence of Musk at Trump’s side rather than saying Musk is/identifies as female.
Still, as you say, an unwise choice of words because the phrase can be taken a couple of/a few ways.
Yeh cheese as cheeze is an odd one - especially considering the z is “zed” not “zee”… I guess cheese is where the idea of “zee” came from?
You seem like the sort of person that would pronounce the word often with a hard T,
Not at all. Used to make fun of people who did.
yet still pronounce the letter A as if it was an O.
No - there are two sounds for A, bath (short, as in cat) for tub of usually hot water and Bath (long, as in car) for the city famous for its hot water. Never heard it like O - no, wait… RP has an O sounding A doesn’t it? Lloyd Grossman was famous for his mangling of vowel sounds.
ETA that distinction for the A sound is probably familial rather than regional; grew up with Geordie mam and Home counties dad.
Look at the path the man in the left foreground is standing on and follow it to the right… See where it passes the trees in the valley down which the children are sledging?
I’m not sure where you’re from, but the th is indeed silent in my area regarding the word ‘clothes’. I’ve never heard it pronounced any different than ‘close’.
I’m not sure where you’re from, the th in is always pronounced in my area regarding the word ‘clothes’. I’ve never heard it pronounced the same as ‘close’
I will say that people got called out for pronouncing it the same as the spice ‘cloves’.
FWIW My area = rural southern UK.
With enough coffee he will soon become a banana…
Nah /dev/zero is for wimps. You need /dev/urandom…
Forced to upload a picture is because you chose the wrong post type.
I got caught by that when I started using Voyager.
