You are still the best… and a beast.

I stub my toe and I won’t look at a PR for two weeks.

You are a beast, back surgery and a feature list that long… please just don’t burn yourself out.

If I can at least help on stranger on the internet… well, then I have helped one stranger on the internet 😂

Let’s say you want to test a drive that is mounted on /tmp… you just cd into that directory and you can use my example.

You can use

$> df -h or $> mount

to check how your drive is mounted in the OS Most ”default ” installations will have 1-4 partitions and / being partition 3 or 4.

So if you look at the mount command and / is /dev/sdX3 (where X can be a-z depending on how many drives you have connected) and no other mounts are in the output then every directory under / is on that drive… so you can run my example from your home-directory if you fancy that.

The cool thing about rsync is that it goes ”BRRRRRRRRR!” like a warthog… the plane… and it can saturate the receiving drive or array depending on your network and client. And getting 180 with rsync.. on a SATA drive, can’t really hope for more.

And you can run a quick n dirty test is using dd

$> dd if=/dev/zero of=1g-testfile bs=1g count=1

If you use scp (cp over ssh) you should see the transfer speed.

Fair enough, I’ll show up at the office when they pay me for the time I just wasted commuting to the office. It’s my only ”asset” that is truly mine in this day and age.

I read, ”The producer blew a couch” and in this context it kinda made sense… I am too tired to actually be allowed access to things.

Oh, /e/ is a really good suggestion.

There is always the route of compiling your own kernel, it all depends on how adventurous you feel… and how much spare time you have.

Edit: /e/OS has a quite big selection of phones if you just drill down into their docs

Yeah, I should have been more specific, “Check out LineageOS, they have a list of supported devices, you can also trawl xda-developers for info and guides”

Check out LineageOS and have a look at the xda developer forum for more info.

And I did a quick search that listed a few good starting points… running a custom rom on your phone is quite liberating… but also a rabbit hole that is deeper than any black hole in the universe. Have fun and good luck!

I actually got this reference 😂
