why? are freeturds really this delusional.
I don't know what you're talking about, I just use GParted to format drives on Linux.
I don't know why people on this board try to pick one example of how to do something on Linux to try and, "prove," that Linux makes computing too complicated when there's usually another far easier way to do it on Linux.
Windows:
>Oh hey a new device! Let me boot that up for ya. It looks funny, I'm gonna go ahead and format it for ya, kthnx nope can't cancel. You only wanted 1 partition? Well now you have 4, and 3 of them are unusable and pointless.
Linux:
>Oh hey a new device! Now I'm ready to do what the user wants.
>>55101436
Before beginning, you need to consider for what you will be using the hard drive.
Will the drive be used only with Ubuntu?
Will the drive need to be accessible from both Ubuntu and Windows?
How do you want to divide the free space? As a single partition, or as several?
This guide goes over procedures for a single partition drive install only. Multiple partition drive installations are not very hard, and you may very well figure it out by using this guide; however, make sure you add an entry in /etc/fstab for each partition, not just the drive.
Learn to read retard. If you are using the hard drive as an extended storage and you are using a decent DE you literally don't have to do anything with fstab, the DE will do it for you.

just like most EULA's break swiss laws.

Pretty sure companies trying the 'muh EULA' defence in court have been shut down several times.
I mean, dipshits like Apple think they're being funny putting in a clause about not being able to use their software or hardware to create nuclear weaponry. Dang, that was my ONE plan when I bought the new iPhone - to turn it into a fucking tactical nuke.
>>55101655
That's more because the dictator is, well, a dictator. If a country had a functioning export system with things people wanted to buy, I can't imagine a country that wants to import those things COMPLETELY cutting off all trade with them because 'its ok to download things that aren't yours in your country'.
>>55101670

I should probably also mention sanctions other than economic ones
>>55101436

I still find it hard to believe that a country would attempt to actively lock down a country's exports because of what their internet users do.
I also don't think country A can FORCE country B to stop trading with Country C.

Like I said, its complicated
If you really wanna know https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIPO_Copyright_Treaty is a good place to start

I'm not gonna read it, simply because I'm already half-assed when it comes to international disputes as it is, and a Wikipedia page isn't gonna catch me up.

Ok, fuck operating systems for a second, because I got an idea that would make managing servers easier and with no worries of cable management.

You forgot that you have to partition the disk first. Have you not ever installed Windows 98?
Transferring an old system hard drive to a new computer:
Linux:
1. Disconnect it from the old box
2. Connect it to the new box
3. Turn on your computer
Windows:
1. Back up all your files
2. Disconnect it from the old box
3. Connect it to the new box
4. Insert Windows install CD
5. Turn on your computer
6. Format hard drive
7. Reinstall Windows
8. Restore your backup
>>55101998
Pretty sure most enterprise servers have hotswap bays, which work basically the same way as pop in/ejecting a tape.
>>55101436

I installed 4 hard drives, an SAS controller and external sas enclosure at the same time and I didn't have to do fuck all other than format it and partition it.

I always like how Ubuntu's documentation starts out as looking very daunting, but all it really says is "use command to see if disk is found" and "use gparted you dumbass" with optional instructions for command line users. Doesn't nautilus usually automatically detect the drive as well, prompting the user to format it?

I believe in security through isolation. Due to the current state of technology you cannot avoid using dangerous closed source software and habits. However It's upto you how seriously you are going to take your security.
Although Privacy and Security are correlated, are completely different priority. Sometimes you actually want your privacy to be breached to a certain extent to be secure from malicious attackers.
Here are my security advices:
Install GNU/Linux. Have MAC or RBAC enabled. Don't log in as a root.
Only install the softwares from your distro's secure repo
Use the Grsec kernel with PaX patches.
Use uBlock origin. HTTPS everywhere, Disconnect and Decentraleyes.
Use a Secure DNS.
Never keep yourself logged into anything.
If you want to compromise your privacy, enable two phase log in, However please do not link your email IDs as "referential IDs". Just make sure one email ID does not trace back to the other one you got.
Use a password manager. Best way is to maintain own encrypted spreadsheet.
Never use flash.
Install and keep firewall enabled at startup.
Keep bluetooth and printer service disabled by default.
Never give your windows VM any network access.
Do not bank or shop online unless you really have to. NEVER INSTALL YOUR BANK'S APP IN YOUR PHONE.
Randomly change all your 16 digit passwords. Use your spreadsheet to keep track of it.
Analyse your data traffic to check for network tapping.
Always keep a mirror backup of your data. Create your own cloud storage if you are really serious.
Lastly, only visit trusted websites
Reminder that there are malwares can exploit your host file system. Bidirectional file and clipboard sharing should be handled with caution.

You cannot "download" or "install" security or privacy
