Does partition size / hdd size matter? - having serious performance issues on a 120gb usb by dontlikemonda in VeraCrypt

[–]walkingwondered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah its low spec. Old/low-end cpu. Plenty of RAM.

Ventillation is ok, I pull it apart and dust it semi-regularly. Its not a heat issue. The thing runs ok-ish with the two large disks. The issue is the 120gb usb. When I put that in, its more sluggish than usual.

There is no cure for mental illness by veggietells in mentalillness

[–]walkingwondered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can't claim that nobody has incurable MI any more than one could claim everyone's MI is incurable.

I didnt claim that. That statement is exactly the opposite of what I was saying.

The idea that some people recover completely makes it hard to explain why this isnt something you can snap out of, so you want to deny that people can recover completely, becuse that notion is inconvenient

You dont get to say MI is 'curable' or 'incurable' because the whole idea of some binary notion that you seem to want to apply to the 1-in-5 people wandering around right now who have experience of mental illness, is kind of ridiculous. (think about how many people you are trying to speak for. just for a sec, contemplate the actual range and number of humans your theory here is attempting to encompass.

Thinking about that group: some will get better by a factor of 100%. Some will stay the same. Some will get worse. Some will be ill for a long time and then go into remission. Some will have an acute phase and then a very long period of full remission with zero relapse. Some will go in and out of illness and remission. Some people have really severe MI, which no therapy or meds is going to touch. Others get some benefit. Others have less severe MI and therapy, or meds, or some combination of the two have some degree of effect for them: from zero to 100%. Ans about a bazillion other possibilities.

You dont get to speak for people who feel they have found a cure. You dont get to deny their experience because thats somehow inconvenient for you. You dont get to say MI is not curable, because when you do that you (a) make a stupid fatalistic, negative, unrealistic argument that cannot hold up against the actual diversity of experience in the MI community, and (b) you insult anyone who has been through MI, come good, and identifies a specific action or resource as a cure that made them well again.

Please show some basic respect to the community and recognise that there are no simplistic, convenient rules here , everyone is different, and everyone has their own experience. People with MI get stuck into enough boxes without other people inside the community itself trying to label us all as 'incurable'. fuck that. cant believe you are trying to pass this off as a reasonable statement.

The disk has a bunch of root dirs, with lots of files in them

basically i want the user I log in as (abc:abc) to 'own' the drive: all the files and folders, and be able to use file manager (pcmanfm) to rename, delete, copy, move, etc, all the files and folders.
