4. to test bad blocks on hard disk on Linux, sudo pv -nb /dev/sda > null or replace /dev/sda with the device of your hard disk.

The errors will print in dmesg (comfortable viewing with command dmesg -TL=always|less -R)

@LillyHerself @aral Isn't that xenofobic nationalistic discrimination?

@fluffykittycat @aral @lain @fluffykittycat @aral @lain I won't say "Personally I'm a big supporter of These kinds of hacks Because they delegitimize the entire system" because we don't have free speech in the Czech regime and I am afraid they could persecute me for exercising my basic human and constitutional right to freedom of speech, claiming I publicly support crimes.

I also feel

e x t r e m e l y s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

towards the Czech regime when the situation about free speech is like this here.

"leaked material includes source code,passwords,and encryption keys tied to systems supporting BankID logins for the Swedish Tax Agency.BankID is not a niche tool as it serves as the backbone of Sweden’s digital infrastructure.More than 8.6 million people in a country of just over 10 million rely on it for daily life,creating what critics warn is a dangerous single point of failure."

@MLE_online I upcycled power Schottkies from dead power supplies.

I connected a charger directly to battery terminals of a smartphone whose battery failed, over Schottky diodes to reduce the voltage properly.

Now I have a phone which always shows 90%-100% battery.

I ran Tesseract OCR on its 4x64-bit ARM CPU over Termux and ssh and it adds another 50% computational power to my PC when I needed to OCR many pages of documents.

The power Schottkies were upcycled from dead power supplies, the cable from a broken power cord, the USB-A connector from a failed charging cable, I don't remember what the resistor and PCB comes from.
