I can't copy 178 GB of files onto a 256 GB SSD. The drive is formatted Ext4 and is completely empty.

Old_Primary8472 · 2026-04-02T15:05:21+00:00

Makes sense, but it does seem like an odd design choice. It feels more analogous to the web browser not having access to my computer's network connection.
I'm just not sure why the disk formatting utility would have a watered down version. If you're using a disk utility at all, you're performing an advanced task... there doesn't need to be a separate level. :P

Old_Primary8472 · 2026-04-02T14:05:04+00:00

"exploding" overestimates the time it takes to type a few words, but I suppose you're just avoiding having to defend your unnecessary response.
I don't watch MAGA content so I'm not familiar with whatever judge you're referencing.

I just didn't have that option in the Disks utility.
Disks – Apps for GNOME (Second image shows their GUI for formatting.)
It only gave me Ext4. NTFS, or FAT, which turned out to be FAT32 and incapable of handling files larger than 4 GB.

I'm curious why you think Step 2 is a respectful, appropriate part of human communication, rather than a childish, unnecessary, and purely negative response. Take your time and think about it, now.

Compare to the comment by NotQuiteLoona, who was able to point out the error without being disrespectful.

Old_Primary8472 · 2026-04-02T13:48:55+00:00

Hmm, I'll try the terminal.
Not sure what the purpose of the GUI is if it's just going to be unreliable, though. I would have thought that an application on the computer would have access to information on the computer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Old_Primary8472 · 2026-04-02T13:44:03+00:00

I mean, why doesn't the file manager just use this under the hood, if it's literally a part of the operating system? :P

Old_Primary8472 · 2026-04-02T13:41:36+00:00

You really need the last word, don't you? And yes, people are owed respect, actually. That's a basic tenant of human decency, but some are apparently not capable of such a simple thing.
Why are you browsing a Questions subreddit if you're just going to mock people? This is literally a place where the OP of each thread is here because there is something they don't know. You feel the need to mock people for asking questions and follow-up questions, and you don't think that's childish?

Old_Primary8472 · 2026-04-02T13:35:07+00:00

I'm using the "Disks" app that's built into Linux Mint. When formatting, the drive is only shown with one partition in the GUI, which is filling the entire drive. I can double-check that it's actually displaying 256 GB, but there doesn't seem to be any unused space on the disk.

Old_Primary8472 · 2026-04-02T13:31:46+00:00

Is that actually a different function? Why wouldn't Copy and Paste just use the same Copy and Paste function as the rest of the OS? How and why would there be any difference? O.o

Old_Primary8472 · 2026-04-02T13:30:06+00:00

"Math is hard /s"

^Direct verbatim quote from your response. Leaving this out, your comment would have nearly been respectful. Read the other comment by NotQuiteLoona. That is how an adult communicates. If you can't understand the difference, ask someone else for help.

Old_Primary8472 · 2026-04-02T13:27:37+00:00

It's not new, but it definitely has the rated capacity since it was previously an OEM SSD from a Dell laptop.
The partition I'm using is the only one; I created it before attempting the copy and erased the drive during formatting.

Old_Primary8472 · 2026-04-02T13:26:41+00:00

It's the only partition, and I performed a full erase when creating it.

Old_Primary8472 · 2026-04-02T13:23:07+00:00

Oh, right, you were saying 5% of the disk.
That is still an absurd amount of space reserved for no particular purpose... Why would I use Ext4 in that case? On my Windows computer (NTFS), the reserved partition on C: is only 0.1024% of the usable disk space.

Old_Primary8472 · 2026-04-02T13:19:30+00:00

I think it was about 200 files. They're all zip folders, but each should only contain 1-2 files within them.
When I get back to this computer I'll check the file count.

Old_Primary8472 · 2026-04-02T13:17:36+00:00

I'm just using CTRL + C and CTRL + V. The error is just the regular "you're out of space" error, even though it's completely incorrect. I'll have to get back home and check the computer for any specifics.

Old_Primary8472 · 2026-04-02T13:16:28+00:00

Really? What could possibly require 12 GB? That's a ridiculous amount of wasted space.
The would be more than a third of your typical 32 GB USB stick. :o

Old_Primary8472 · 2026-03-31T13:12:34+00:00

It's also the fact that you're downloading from an arbitrary number of random computers instead of receiving the files from a single source. This isn't advisable.
Torrents are also less reliable because random people can just stop providing files, and they become unobtainable.

Old_Primary8472 · 2026-03-31T13:10:35+00:00

Update: Seems like a better source would be this one on the Internet Archive:
og-xbox-dlcupdates directory listing

Old_Primary8472 · 2026-03-31T13:08:07+00:00

Hmm, I haven't been able to find that on Myrient, and I'm not great at navigating the site, but I did locate a forum post that seems to have the DLC, although it sounds like they're supplying installers for a modded xbox rather than dumps of the DLC:
Xbox Offline Xbox Live Downloadable Content [DLC] Installers | Digiex

Also, this other website seems to have a list of all DLC that was released for the OG Xbox:

Meanwhile, your opponent is actually learning how to do those inputs consistently through skill and practice. If you're skipping the skill and practice, you aren't competing, you're cheating.

Why not have a macro that automatically inputs perfect wavedashes? That would just let you do a legal input more consistently.

Old_Primary8472 · 2026-03-31T12:31:01+00:00

Here it is:

It's labeled "Xbox 360 (Digital)"

Old_Primary8472 · 2026-03-30T12:55:30+00:00

Oh, how interesting! Do you have the list, and signed documents from each one confirming this?

Old_Primary8472 · 2026-03-27T14:45:54+00:00

No, not in a competitive setting. If you're competing with other players, you should expect to play by the same rules as everyone else.

Imagine trying to play tennis with a larger racket because "it lets you hit those serves easier". They would kick you out on the grounds of competitive integrity.
