    I’ve been on mint for ages but when I updated my RAID this year it originally wouldn’t recognize it. I eventually got it recognized but it capped the 16TB drives at 999GB for some reason. For fun, I went up the chain to Ubuntu… Same thing

    In frustration I went to Grandma’s house with Debian and it worked perfect out of the box. I’d spent hours researching it but the best I found was a potential RAID related bug (lvm, specifically, I think) introduced in Ubuntu that, of course, filtered into Mint. Even fdisk reported the physical drives as 999GB in Mint/Ubuntu.

    I still don’t know the exact cause but I got it up and running so I’m a Debian guy now, I guess.

    Granted, my use case isn’t super normal since I’m using a BIOS RAID1 (and we all know how fun BIOS RAID can be) with full disk encryption.

    Worked out in the end but it made me sad to ditch Mint





  • If you work in a place that only has a k cup machine and no brew pot (heresy, I know), there are reusable fillers.

    I moved to a somewhat small company that had just opened a new physical office and they only had single serving kcup machines for almost 6 months.

    Me, drinking 4+ cups of coffee a day, in the office 5 days a week, didn’t produce roughly 600 pieces of kcup trash thanks to the reusable filter. Plus, I brought my own better coffee that I ground at home.

    If you can’t tell, I really fucking hate kcups.
