What cross-platform software for testing/checking a hard drive's condition/health would you recommend?
  • i guess a fitting tool would clear and then re-write every sector of the DUT and inspect whether all went ok. an exhaustive test would make sure that each bit is at least once written in both states. i am not sure whether such tools exist apart from those proprietary solutions that happily sell you whatever you ask for without guarantee that your use is both reasonable and doable

  • What's a cool publishing medium for text-based posts nowadays?

    i'm looking for a place/means/medium for texts that i write. content is essays on topics that i find worthy writing about with hints towars philosophy (i guess).

    twenty years ago the right answer to my question would have been a (we-)blog - what's the current day equivalent for such a venture?

    optimally, a solution would neither be based on lock-ins, data collection/aggregation or other shady business and would be freely (e.g. in a web browser, no login/registration required) and easily accessible.

    Web-Shop WYSISWG App

    I'm looking for a (preferrably) self-hostable, FLOSS web-shop application that is easy for end-users to use (WYSIWYG, no need for script languages necessary, etc). Any hints are much appreciated.

    Yes, longer raise time at room temperature was needed. Not sure what else I can or should improve 🥰 Thanks for all the input on my last post - comments very welcome!

    Dating advice for privacy conscious

    Due to my "privacy consciousness" (yes, you could call it digital paranoia, but that sounds as if i were ill and not just conscious about how data trade works in the age of total surveillance) dating apps are no options - the compromise i'm living with is owning, using and carrying a phine with me but without any non-free or known malicious (tracking, data-mining, spying, etc) software.

    Any advice on how to get to know interesting people? How did you get to know your partners or acquantances? Did you just give in and opt for one or another dating platform?
