So just when you thought the Trump campaign for dictator cannot get any worse than his Convention*

Trump makes things worse

He said THIS in Florida last night. Yes. No more voting

* Only political convention of modern era to have produced a NEGATIVE bounce for the candidate

Innovative Produkte und soziale Innovation soll der Wissenstransfer in Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft bringen. Es mangelt dabei nicht nur an Geld.#Forschung #Transformationsgesellschaft #Wissenschaft #Öko

“Beim Transfer in die Gesellschaft werden „soziale Innovationen“ unterstützt, etwa die gesellschaftliche Selbstorganisation im Bereich der Energiewende.”

Anhaltspunkte über den “Transfer in die Gesellschaft” und die dahinter stehende Haltung des akademischen Wissenschaftsbereichs liefert ein Blick auf die CitizienScience-Bewegung. Deutlich wird, daß vom Wissenschaftsbreich “Gesellschaft” nicht anders gedacht wird als Zulieferbetrieb für die eigenen Vorhaben. Die Bürger sind anscheinend zufrieden damit.

Und auffallend ist auch, daß die wirklich innovativen Bereiche von CitizienScience im erweiterten Sinne - OpenSorftware und maker - von den “Erfolgsgeschichten” aus dem CitizienScience-Bereich nicht berührt werden.

Um nicht mißverstanden zu werden: Mit dem Hinweis auf CitizienScience soll von meiner Seite nicht die fachliche Seite auf Projektebene angesprochen werden; sondern vielmehr strukturelle Charakteristiken in der Beziehung Wissenschaft - “Gesellschaft”.

Right, FINALLY doing the SSD upgrade in this old laptop with the Extremely Cursed SATAExpress SSD. I bought a 2242 size NVMe drive to stick in the (unused) WWAN slot
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
The Old Laptop is going to be my new daily driver. I’ve been using it exclusively for a few weeks now, but I know the 256GB SSD is going to be the choke-point very soon.

Still, a decent upgrade. Old main rig is a i7-2600K with 32GB RAM, 512GB SATA SSD, and 8GB Radeon R9 290X, still VERY usable for a 10-year-old rig. Old (new) laptop is a ThinkPad T460p - i7-6820HQ, 32GB RAM, 1TB NVMe SSD, and … uh … a 2GB GeForce 940MX. Yeah, the GPU sucks (and sucks much less than the built-in HD530), but I rarely play 3D games now so it’s not a great loss, and I gain portability which I didn’t have before.

I’ve even got the matching NOT-USB dock!
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
First things first, make a safe image of the existing SSD.

Next, figure out how the fuck to open an encrypted disk. Then use BTRFS to save the subvols.

Then, because I don’t trust either of those two methods to restore properly, mount the BTRFS filesystems and copy the contents out too.

Then I can safely* discard the utterly cursed SATAExpress SSD. Probably. Maybe I’ll swap a SATA SSD in instead, for even more storage space.
sortius mastodon (AP)
that's a lot of effort where you could just nuke it from orbit and start from scratch
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
@sortius I’ve got enough customization on the existing disk that I CBF repeating
sortius mastodon (AP)
aah, that sucks. I know what you mean if it's all weird shit for development, especially buggy stuff that requires installs in correct order, and odd steps between install/configs
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
@sortius yep, I’ve got 3 different embedded vendor toolchains installed so far, still need to install at least 4 more

Oh wait, fuck, this is Linux NFSv4 talking to a Solaris NFS server. Of course the ownership and permissions are completely hosed.

Oh well, tar it is then
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
Speaking of Linux NFSv4, I wonder if that 100% repeatable kernel panic bug we found almost 20 years ago ever got fixed? Was reported to RedHat, but I left the org before the ticket was closed.
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
I don’t remember the exact details, but somehow it involved an absolute symlink hosted in the NFS server pointing to /dev/stdin

No really, I did mean gtar, but thanks for “helping” I guess

Fucking GNU systems

Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
Anyway, turns out this restore will probably be easier than I thought - the new SSD doesn’t support 4K block sizes, so I can just blat the raw image from the old SSD on, adjust the partition table, then resize.

First, verify the new SSD can actually store as many bits of data as it claims.
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
This is your regular reminder that `openssl aes-128-cbc -in /dev/zero -out /path/to/dev` is faster than `dd if=/dev/urandom of=/path/to/dev` if you want lots of random-looking incompressible data
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
Well it ate all the data it claimed it could. Slowed down a fair bit towards the end though, think the flash controller was struggling a bit and “only” writing random 1MB blocks at 180MB/sec
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
… you’re fucking shitting me. After all that, the NVMe SSD is preventing power-on when it’s installed?!
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
@georgeharito the SSD was tested in another machine
I knew my meme-creating skills would fall flat
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
Well, that was an entire fucking day wasted
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
So, at this point I have 3 options:

1. Keep the cursed 256GB SATAExpress drive (or find a bigger one for approximately $0)

2. Swap with a 1TB SATA SSD (for approximately $0)

3. Make my own M.2 NVMe to SATAExpress adapter board

I think we all know where this is going…

*waves at "nuke it from orbit" sign*
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
The major problem with option 3 is finding the connector. Your challenge, #electronics Fedi hivemind, is to find me a SATAExpress drive-end connector I can buy
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
Ohhhhhhhh fuck, I just realised I could possibly, maybe, make it a PCIe 3.0 x1 instead of x2 just by using a “normal” drive connector
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
… wait a fucken minute! Is that just a standard dual-port SAS connector?!
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
It is not: there is a slot in the key, which mates to a counter-key on the host side. I could cut that slot out of a standard SAS connector myself I guess?
sortius mastodon (AP)
I always get scared when hardware engineers start tinkering with actual computer hardware 😝
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
Also, the REFCLK pins aren’t on a SAS connector (E1 to E3). Technically they aren’t required…
Daniel Carosone mastodon (AP)
is that the sound of a dremel I hear?

Interesting alternative here, aes-256-ctr might be even faster? Would be fun to test. https://superuser.com/a/793003

@akent the trick is to use a hardware-accelerated cipher, which AES-128-CBC almost universally is
Adam Kent mastodon (AP)
Aaah very cool
Comrade elronxenu mastodon (AP)
The code would have been rewritten multiple times since then.

I found IRQ handling errors in the Linux 1.x days; my fix was too messy to go in the kernel; everything has since been rewritten.
