Yeah, I read through the FAQ and found that. I really want emulated ARM in the web UI, since all the pieces are there, but a VM template with the necessary edits works well enough for now.

Does this mean the web UI supports emulated ARM machines on x86 too, or do I still have to go to CLI for that?

I’ll do you one better; why is forgejo?

Sounds like a great way to Kessler Syndrome ourselves.

OP was asking how to switch between 512 byte sectors and 4096 byte sectors. A low level format is how to do that. It’s triggered by the sg_format tool on Linux, or by a tool provided by the drive manufacturer.

Low level formating is how the data tracks are layed out on the disk platters, it’s what the drive firmware sees. hdparm and sg_format instruct the disk to rearrange those tracks. High-level formatting is what the OS sees when you run mkfs. It creates a new file system or replaces an existing one.

Use sg_format to run a low level format on the disk. 512E vs 4kN isn’t going to change much in a homelab environment. If you create a filesystem with 4k clusters, Linux will send 4k wrudte blocks to the disk. The firmware on the disk will write that out into 8 logical disk sectors, usually in a single 4k physical sector. I use my storage mainly for media and there’s no performance difference between my 512E disks and my 4nN disks. I simply don’t have an intense and sensitive enough environment to show the performance gain. I’d say leave the low level formating alone and just write a filesystem on top of it with 4k blocks.

That’s an interesting thought. Genetics is largely a mixing and copying process with occasional “hallucinations” in the form of transcription errors. Most of these errors result in the termination of the hallucinated code. Hallucinations that damage the termination process result in cancer. In the larger sense of evolution, there’s a robust external “review” process. Environmental pressures, predation, and resource availability weed out most of the mistakes and selects the results most likely to succeed.

Nope, pedant away. That’s a better way to convey what I was trying to say. Thanks.

“Generative” is a misnomer. It will never generate anything new, it can only regurgitate existing ideas based on patterns that already exist. It’s very good at pattern recognition and summarizing, but lacks the ability to form a distinct new idea.

Ow! My Balls!

Thank you. I didn’t remember that scene in Innerspace or Cells at Work.

How do I reliably tell an unlockable bootloader from just a carrier unlocked device that may still have a carrier firmware that prevents bootloader unlocking?

Ovaltine? A crummy commercial? Son of a bitch!

Crap, you’re right. That’s what I get for replying based on visual memory and not confirming it first. Thanks.
