  • With the recent Microsoft garbage, I’m giving Linux another try. I’ve been running a laptop for a while, no issues. My main rig, however can’t read all of my um…?hard drives

    A live USB of Mint 21 reads 2 of 5 drives fine. The rest are recognized from GParted, but can’t access them. It looks like NTFS-3G is installed.

    I’ve duck duck go’d (which apparently is just Bing) for a solution, but haven’t succeeded. Long term, I can probably pick up another drive, copy, and reformat everything to something Linux friendly. For now, I just want access.

    I’m lazy and burned out. I don’t want to use the terminal- which I did try. I just want to make a few clicks and have access to all of my files.

    If it matters, the drives (roughly) show up as: 500 gb, 4 TB NTFS (readable) 3, 12, 16 TB unknown (not readable)

    Windows says they’re all NTFS.

    Is there an easy way to easily mount my drives?











  • I’m not going to down vote you, but I strongly disagree. Wealthy begets wealth. Poverty digs the hole deeper. This has been the pattern for longer than any of us have been alive.

    You don’t have money? Congrats, you need to take out loans for any important purchase, and get terrible interest rates on those loans. You can live in a crappy apartment and drive a crappy car, but those still cost significant money when you have none. Work two or three jobs even. The minimum wage have been raised in 15 years, so what you earn is barely enough to scrape by, assuming you don’t have any health problems.

    You come from money? Make investments, but rental properties, get your education without financially crippling you for years. You come from lots of money? Corner the market, influence Congress to pass bills that protect your assets and punish others.



  • I’m voting democrat no matter what, for obvious reasons, but I don’t understand the down voting for calling out what is pretty obvious. I watched John Stewart’s episode on it, then some interviews today. It was bad. Really bad.

    Biden isn’t fit to be president. I wouldn’t trust him with my dinner order. This election hasr potential to be a disaster. Yes, I know staff is doing the work, but it’s still not comforting to have a doddering old man at the helm.

    I would think finding someone that is youngish, intelligent,and exciting wouldn’t be that difficult. It would also be a(nother) huge contrast from the orange shit stain.
