The D: is a CD-ROM. Geez!
Dang whippersnappers.
Omg… it depends on your input port grandpa! Please take your pills your saying that stuff again!
I give you an A. A for floppy.
What about the B drive?
Lol the best part about that is, it spawned from floppy disks. It hasn’t changed. And there’s no official docs on why. Instead search results are literally StackOverflow and forum questions on why it’s not a thing.
Even better, the cable twist to differentiate on the hardware level.
5 1/4 big booty drive
Nothing like the beauty of windows having a modern UI with a hard drive icon drawn by some intern in 1998
The best part about this is that the keyboard company likely followed tutorials for building their device drivers and never substituted the default image (which is a fictitious company called Fabrikam):
And someone is now selling attire under the Fabrikam name with just the page title as “Microsoft”
omfg
If it makes you feel any better the intern got hired full-time.
And laid off 6 months later
No, CD-ROM is
/dev/sr0Only correct answer, I don’t know what this whole letter business is… Dang kids
No, CD-ROM is
/cdromYou probably meant /dev/cdrom which as far as I know is just a link to CD-ROM drive. In case of SATA and SCSI drives it links to /dev/sr(number) and in case of IDE drive to /dev/hd(letter).
When I started using Linux in 2004, /cdrom was the mount point for CD/DVD drives on Debian.
Debian is weird
Yeah, but I have nothing against Debian. At the time, my family was on dialup, so being able to order the entire apt repo on 7 CDs was very handy. Back then, the default kernel didn’t include sound drivers… fun times!
I recently returned to Debian (unstable) on my Linux laptop and it’s been nice.

Thats the dvd rom
Bah! This is clearly a windows meme! Take it back to c/linux!

My honest reaction
D:
I like my partners like I like my filesystems.
FAT and 32.
I like em like I like my encryption. Old and already cracked.
I like them like I like my passwords. Short and insecure.
Well, I’m glad its 32, and not the ones previous
Hmm, that’s better fo sho, tho a bit of extra fat don’t hurt
I prefer them to be exFAT.
Your taste in partners is as bad as your taste in filesystems. Who uses FAT32 in 2023? At least use NTFS
Everything uses FAT32. ATMs, the fare machine on transit systems, the sorting system at your post office, traffic lights, nuclear power control systems. Literally everything that isn’t a Unix, MacOS, or a Windows machine uses FAT32. All that stuff has worked for decades and will probably keep working for decades more.
Like your mom.
Who uses FAT32 in 2023?
Any EFI partition?
Why would anybody use NTFS? btrfs ftw. Also all EFI partitions are FAT. And lastly, if you want a USB stick to be portable across operating systems, FAT is still the way to go
I don’t want it portable, I want windows users to lose. I use ext4 on all my usb drives
Btrfs with compression can substantially “increase” capacity of your USB stick. IIRC I managed to fit 20-30% more data on 64Gb stick than its maximum capacity!
My time to shine.
Old and simple but chance for data loss?
Why would she want the (😮)?
nah, D: is obviously your secondary internal drive for storage, because C: is an ssd for performance
she actually wants the E: 🏳️⚧️
She wants my CD-ROM?
and that’s how she got pregnant….
There’s only one D I recognize.
o7
Ncc1701 no bloody, c, no bloody d, and no bloody e
A gets a pass though. All the style of the original with better looking nacelles.

She wants the /dev/sdb
/dev/nvme1n1p1
Please teach me how to connect an external drive over NVMe
that’s an NVMe to USB adapter
No that’s a Google search. Which mainly displays external name cases which expose name over usb/thunderbolt. Which in case of usb4 is exactly the same way an internal nvme works, via pcie.
- Open PC (if not open already)
- Plug in
- Profit
Everything can be portable if the PC is open enough
/dev/mmcblk0
micky mouse club block zero
Why do you have a second namespace on your external drive?
So that it doesn’t get lonely.
This is correct. 🐧
You know this one’s dated because I’m pretty sure by today’s standards having only a C: drive is quite unusual. Hard to find statistics on it but I’d wager most people have at least 2 storage devices, especially an SSD / HDD combo is pretty popular.

Would such an SSD be reliable?
An intel 2TB (which is actually Solidgim) runs under $70. I sure hope it’s reliable.
Samsung 970 EVO m.2 SSD for $181, Very high quality, reliable storage device.
That’s not under $100 US.

I went to the comments to ask if she meant ext3 or ext4 but after a moment I figured it was just external abbreviation… Made a lot more sense 😅
My coworker used to ask me this. Like JESUS CHRIST, WE’RE AT WORK, STOP ASKING.
This. When they ask for the D (drive) just shut up and pull the D (drive) out. How hard is that!?
Removed by mod
Nope, she meant the ext4 drive mounted to

You know, this could be a pretty funny Linux joke, but the comic had to ruin it with some cringey dick joke.

Ext5?
