I like my partners like I like my filesystems.

FAT and 32.

[–] Resistentialism@feddit.uk 32 points 1 year ago

Well, I'm glad its 32, and not the ones previous

I like em like I like my encryption. Old and already cracked.

I like them like I like my passwords. Short and insecure.

Your taste in partners is as bad as your taste in filesystems. Who uses FAT32 in 2023? At least use NTFS

Who uses FAT32 in 2023?

Any EFI partition?

[–] elfahor@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why would anybody use NTFS? btrfs ftw. Also all EFI partitions are FAT. And lastly, if you want a USB stick to be portable across operating systems, FAT is still the way to go

[–] original_ish_name@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't want it portable, I want windows users to lose. I use ext4 on all my usb drives

Btrfs with compression can substantially "increase" capacity of your USB stick. IIRC I managed to fit 20-30% more data on 64Gb stick than its maximum capacity!

Everything uses FAT32. ATMs, the fare machine on transit systems, the sorting system at your post office, traffic lights, nuclear power control systems. Literally everything that isn't a Unix, MacOS, or a Windows machine uses FAT32. All that stuff has worked for decades and will probably keep working for decades more.

Like your mom.

[–] nUbee@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I prefer them to be exFAT.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

My time to shine.

Old and simple but chance for data loss?

[–] Uvine_Umbra@partizle.com 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hmm, that's better fo sho, tho a bit of extra fat don't hurt
