i’ve been using a USB 2.0 drive to run a live linux OS for the past couple of years, mostly for storing linux ISOs, installing linux on laptops and live persistence. lately, i’ve noticed a huge drop in write speed, currently around 1.8 MB/s, which is pretty slow for the tasks i do. i'm planning to replace it with a USB 3.0 drive in the future, but i wanted to ask:

• how long have you typically used a USB drive for live linux systems, including for live persistence??
• do you still use USB 2.0, or did you upgrade to a 3.0 or higher?
• any tips to extend the lifespan of a USB drive when using it for live linux systems?

i'm mainly looking for advice and insights on how others manage their USB drives for similar use cases. thanks in advance for sharing!

EDIT: it's a usb stick. forgot to tell.

i ran into a visibility issue when replying from mastodon to a pixelfed user’s followers-only post.

if a pixelfed user has a private account and makes a followers-only post, then a mastodon user (who follows them, but isn’t followed back) replies with the same followers-only visibility, the pixelfed user never sees it, even if they’re mentioned.

apparently this is because “followers-only” on mastodon only includes the sender’s own followers, not the post author or mentioned accounts. this makes cross-platform, non-mutual replies silently disappear.

anyone else think this should be addressed at the AP level? or is it something each app should patch separately (like a “followers + mentioned” visibility option)?

I can't change my profile picture on gram.social, the account linked to my mastodon account. has anyone experienced the same thing? I have another account on the same instance which isn't registered/linked with any mastodon account (registered via email) and I can change the profile picture.

should i go with Clojure or common Lisp? i'm looking for an intuitive language and the tooling is great. my background: Ruby programmer and i use neovim. my goal: AI development. do people really use Lisp family for AI dev tho?

i can't share an image from my gallery app to raccoon to post to a community. is this a bug or not implemented yet?

I need JSON-like database and it should also have a storage to store media like images or videos.

First, I don't know where I have to put this kind of question on Lemmy so I'm asking it here. Marx viewed religion as a negative force, often referring to it as the 'opiate of the masses.' If someone is religious and also identifies as a Marxist, do you think that's contradictory, or is it just a matter of mislabeling themselves? Would it be more accurate for them to call themselves a socialist instead of a Marxist?
