Can the SATA-to-USB adapter affect the result of the bad sectors scan?

Hi, I am planning to purchase a 2.5-inch HDD. If I connect it to my computer using a SATA to USB adapter instead of directly to the computer's SATA, can it somehow affect the result of this scan?

I apologize for my ignorance but I couldn't find an answer to this question anywhere

Is Conduit (Matrix server) sustainable, do some of you host it?
  • The author of the fork declares 100 percent compatibility with the original project's database. As you move, the database structure will be changed (new fields will be added) to be compatible with the fork, but it will still also be compatible with the original project (which simply will not use these new fields).

    I used conduwuit for a long time and it seemed very stable. Now I don't host my server anymore because my friend hosts his own server and lets me use it, so I have an account on his server.

  • Is Conduit (Matrix server) sustainable, do some of you host it?
  • The original developer is trying to do things slowly and stay with older versions of the dependencies, while the author of the fork is of the opinion that the dependencies should be updated to the latest versions and take advantage of their capabilities (such as performance improvements) which does not necessarily please the original author.

    In addition, new features are implemented in the fork that are not present in the original project, because the author of the fork is pushing for rapid development (which doesn't mean it's a bad thing)

  • Check out conduwuit. It is a fork of conduit and you can see all the differences here

  • A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back
  • Users have the right to choose the Linux distribution that best suits their needs. Different Linux distributions offer different features and user experiences. To downplay these differences and claim that all distributions are the same is ignorant. Anyone who wants to get the most out of Linux should be aware of the wealth of options available.

    It's like buying shoes - if someone says they're too tight, you can say, “You picked the wrong size, lol.” Each pair of shoes is different in many ways.

    So, if you can't understand that different Linux distributions provide different experiences, it's better for you to stick with Windows, which offers a uniform experience, and not argue about it.

  • A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back
  • TL;DR:

    • Windows Recall, part of Microsoft's new Copilot+ PC initiative, has sparked major privacy and security concerns.
    • The feature uses AI to capture and store screen data locally, allowing users to search for past activities using natural language.
    • Despite assurances that data is not uploaded to the cloud or used by Microsoft, user trust is lacking.
    • Microsoft has a history of practices that have eroded user trust, including obtrusive ads, ignoring user preferences, and requiring Microsoft Accounts.
    • Users are skeptical, fearing future misuse of the collected data for advertising or AI training.
    • Windows Recall reportedly stores data unencrypted, making it vulnerable to access by third-party apps and potential malware.
    • The open nature of Windows amplifies these risks, unlike more secure systems like iOS and Android.
    • Users have compared Windows Recall to spyware, with many threatening to switch to other operating systems like Linux or Mac.
    • Microsoft's attempts to keep the development of Windows Recall secret did not help build trust.
    • Windows Recall will only be available on new Copilot+ PCs, requiring specific hardware not present in existing PCs.
    • Users will have the option to disable the feature, but there are concerns about it being enabled by default.
    • Despite security issues, the feature is effective in helping users find lost or forgotten data.
    • It could improve productivity if trust and security concerns are resolved.

  • Fortunately, no. My school expects me to use XAMPP (a LAMP stack but without "L" cuz it's on Windows) and Microsoft Office applications like Word, Access, and Excel.

    While in the case of LAMP, I can install the individual services (Apache, PHP, MySQL) myself from command line, Microsoft Office applications won't work like that.

    In my view, this is unacceptable...

    They changed my background (previously there was a default blue window), placed an icon in the bottom corner of the screen that read "Learn more about this photo", and re-added the search bar that I had previously removed.

    Fortunately, I don't have to deal with this on a daily basis.

    Will RAM with CL17 work on a device that specifies CL22?

    More specifically, the HP T640 device.

    The manufacturer declares compatibility with CL22 latency and 2400 MHz clocking. If I buy RAM with CL17 and 2400 MHz clocking, will it work?

    "Hardware Error" after power failure

    Hello,

    Today my washing machine completely broke down. My parents desperately tried to get it working, but it resulted in the circuit breakers tripping and my server (an old Dell Wyse thin client) experiencing a hard power off.

    When I tried to turn it back on, I received these errors on the screen.

    I ran a memtest, and it completed without any issues. I also created a disk image backup just in case.

    Is there any chance of getting this machine running again, or is it only fit for utilization?

    Quad9 censoring DNS requests?

    I noticed that Quad 9 is not able to respond to the spy.pet query: $ dig spy.pet @9.9.9.9 +short ;; communications error to 9.9.9.9#53: timed out

    But Cloudflare DNS is able to do it: $ dig spy.pet @1.1.1.1 +short 104.26.0.165 104.26.1.165 172.67.74.73

    And to be sure, I checked another domain with the same TLD to rule out the option that Quad9 is unable to handle the .pet TLD, but I received a correct answer... $ dig hello.pet @9.9.9.9 +short 3.64.163.50

    Does Quad9 censor DNS queries?

    Steam App with Wayland

    It seems that the Steam app only supports with X11 (and with Wayland, I need to use xwayland to run it).

    How can I enable native wayland support? And if I can't, is there perhaps a mod or alternative steam client that will enable me to do so?

    Self Hosted Calendar

    Hi, everyone!

    For several years, I've relied on NextCloud as a substitute for Google services. The time has come to say goodbye and move on in life. I've decided to replace my NextCloud instance with separate services for files, calendar, photos, notes, and to-do lists.

    I've already found alternatives for all services, except for the calendar.

    Does anyone have experience with FOSS projects that would allow me to self-host a calendar? I'm looking for something that supports CalDAV, has its own (pretty) user interface (webui), caters to multiple users, and supports multiple calendars.

    And if anyone is interested in the alternatives I've found for each NextCloud component, here's the list:

    NextCloud Files -> File Browser NextCloud Notes -> Joplin NextCloud Photos -> Immich NextCloud Tasks -> Vikunja NextCloud Calendar -> ???___

    Edit:

    In the end, I used Radicale software. I deployed it in a docker container and it worked almost right out of the box.

    Is the Fediverse truly decentralized? Not exactly.

    The author examined the distribution of instances in the fediverse. Given that many instances are hidden behind CDNs like Cloudflare or Fastly, the author employed ActivityPub's functionality to discover the actual hosting locations of servers. More than half (51%) of the fediverse is hosted within a single hosting company. The author suggests that the fediverse hosted mostly with a few major providers, deviates from its initial objectives.
