[03:31] <lotuspsychje> good morning
[06:34] <ducasse> good morning
[07:01] <akem> Heya :)
[15:29] <akemhp> My persistence Lubuntu USB stick is nice :) I installed a bunch of apps and i have a storage partition on the stick too, that i can read on Windows too apparently, but i didn't tested on Win.
[15:29] <akemhp> It's just a bit slower to start, but then it's fine.
[16:04] <daftykins> if it's not a decent brand it might not last for long :)
[16:08] <akemhp> It's a nice aluminium Kingston one :)
[16:10] <akemhp> Data traveler or something. I like it. Better than smaller ones, cause i can grasp it better :P
[16:10] <akemhp> I will 'dd' it to a an image file so i can just dump it back to another stick if it fail.
[16:11] <akemhp> Only problem is that 32 GB sticks don't always have the same capacity, my other 32 GB is smaller than this one...But i can still get a 64 GB.
[16:12] <akemhp> Maybe resizing the data partition would work, not sure...I'll see in time if i ever got in this situation.
[16:30] <akemhp> No more cola daemon in here? :)
[16:30] <akemhp> I'm on heavy lemonade regime theses days. Got some tasty lemon sirup. Not too much sugar, just how i like. With sodastream you know.
[16:57] <daftykins> dd's a waste of writes due to the empty space being written
[16:57] <daftykins> heh his heavy schedule must be keeping him away from us ;)
[17:07] <akemhp> Yeah, i know but it's only 32 GB, and this way i have a 1:1 copy.
[17:10] <daftykins> that could be achieved with clonezilla without writing the empty space
[17:17] <akemhp> I see, yeah there are probably better ways. But i'll stick to 'dd' anyway :P
[17:26] <daftykins> just don't give a hoot at the downsides eh? that's a disappointing approach
[17:26] <daftykins> and yeah maybe taking 500MB off the end of partitions would make it fit across a broad range of flash drives easier
[18:02] <ducasse> iirc ddrescue can also skip unused space
[18:06] <daftykins> ja think so
[20:36] <akemhp> Somebody set up us the womb.
[20:36] <akemhp> OOps. :P
[20:46] <daftykins> ok, but i don't think you wanna grow anything in it!
