    Lol, nah as a small part of my boycotting efforts against .ml for what the .ml admins do to further their “ideology” and to make it easier for admins to choose to defederate (a common argument against defederation like with the rest of the triad (Hex and grad) is that they have too much content) I’m cross-posting content from .ml comms to the closest relevant non-.ml comm

    A hex user posted the comic to a .ml comm, .ml proxies images, I could have changed the URL to directly point to the image, but adding that little bit of additional load is just a little sugar on top as far as I’m concerned lol































  • It does look like there has been major improvements since the last time I tried this kind of shenanigans. Which admittedly has been many years, these days I just don’t bother with dual booting so I’m free to just use the native FS wherever needed for the OS I’m using OR I have an intermediary like a SAN or it’s on a VM or something

    Still though, using a non-native FS in this manner is always more headaches than it’s worth, the no journaling is a corruption risk true, but so is using a non-native FS just in different ways lol

    IMO, the use case for this drive is storing re-downloadable data is perfectly fine for exFAT, worst case it corrupts and you have to redownload games from steam



  • NTFS support on Linux has never been good, iirc it still mounts NTFS as read-only by default. You can remount it as R/W, but it isn’t exactly recommended

    If you absolutely want to share the steam library between windows and Linux, id recommend either a second disk formatted as exFAT or a new storage partition on the same disk formatted as exFAT

    The key here is exFAT, one of the best options for cross-OS compatibility

    Edit: @biofaust@lemmy.world I just saw your reply to someone else in the thread that your steam library is on a separate drive already

    So that’s perfect! Just move everything off it temporarily and format it with exFAT filesystem and you should be fine
