If you’re wondering why I’m crossposting .ml content or for an account listing of accounts used for it, please see the bottom of this megathread

2·2 months agoI would say db0 has had a few red flags here and there, but they’re still far from being the 4th Tankie instance
Keep in mind tankies have been known to create accounts on non-tankie instances to create this sort of division and generally troll
It’s .ml, if you don’t simp for authoritarians they ban you too, join the .ml boycott today and just don’t participate on anything .ml
Also, just don’t post the reddit link back, fuck reddit don’t give them any traffic back
Not a bot, all my crossposts are done by my 2 hands lmao
Why am I cross-posting .ml content?
I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don’t want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.
Some highlights from the link:
.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068
“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
"Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167
“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342
“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035
General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510
And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can’t even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?” Or “Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left”. The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.
But if you want you can check the bio of this profile that links to a list of all accounts used for this purpose
I wish this is why we can’t have ram. So much more respectable lmao

When it comes to old drives, you may very well only get one good read out of it before its gone for good. (Or at least solidly in a very pricey data recovery service territory)
If you have the means to do so, consider a data recovery service first and foremost if you can’t afford it or don’t want to proceed on
So the first thing you want to do is make a byte-by-byte raw image of the drive(s) with a tool like this https://hddguru.com/software/HDD-Raw-Copy-Tool/
BUT you will need a destination drive that’s at least the same size as your source. So if your old drive is 500GB you’ll need a destination that has 500GB free or more. Id personally go a tad bigger because ya never know and remember this might be the last time you get a good read
Second it sounds like you did plug it into android and it tried adding in it’s default folders, but 1) it probably picked up the 500MB or so tiny boot partition windows makes 2) it only adds folders, it doesn’t wipe partitions.
So in both your data is probably fine BUT
It does sound like your drive isnt particularly healthy, so until you’re ready to make that image keep it offline and disconnected
Once you have the image, you do all your work from there and keep your source drive safe until you’re 100% you don’t need it anymore
It looks like the same drive, but more unhinged
Maybe the next Phoronix article is going to be even eviler 😅
Exploring
Nope, all manual lol
I don’t bot my .ml cross-posting campaign lol, it’s all manual with a simple script to send notifications to my phone when something gets posted to .ml
Which allows me to do things like skip out on also crossposting the body, like I did here because OOP posted a link back to reddit on their post which I chose not to replicate here because fuck reddit lol
