@bangskij Oops. I missed that it's an old DVR drive. That makes it likely it's FreeNAS and whatever it uses. I'm not finding straight answers about which of the two it typically uses.

@bangskij FreeBSD filesystems are typically ZFS or UFS. I'm pretty sure Linux would call a ZFS just that, and the FreeBSD installer defaults to UFS in guided installations, so I'd try to mount it as a UFS partition first. (I've forgotten too much Linux to suggest how, sadly.)

If you type the fox test, it must be in the present tense, not past tense. The verb 'jumps' is the only word in the test with an S in it.

Or type the sphinx test instead: "Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow!"

Today's good deed: Saving a customer from a spicy pillow. 

After putting it back together sans battery, it complained during POST about an off-brand battery being installed & warning knock-offs can do what the on-brand battery was so clearly doing. The HP didn't complain about a missing battery. Good job, HP!

Aside from the date/time being wrong, it responded to the pressure relief by working normally, showing a well-behaved screen, & passing the keyboard fox test without issue.

Today's good deed: Saving a customer from a spicy pillow. 

They brought an HP laptop to me because some keys didn't work & the screen had lines & flickering.

The battery was already so swollen that the front edge of the case had popped completely open between 2 of the front edge base screws. With their permission, I opened the case & removed the battery.

It put so much pressure on the plastic that the base popped free on its own with each base screw, & the battery jumped with each battery screw.

HR: "Do you have a moment? We just want to ask you about your self-assessment?"
Me: "Sure."
HR: "So, for 'personality type', we were expecting something from Myers-Briggs. You know, like ENJF."
Me: "Oh?"
HR: "You selected 'Other' and filled in, 'Chaotic Good'."
Me: "Yes, that's right."
HR: "Why?"
Me: "Because I use the term 'fortnight' as often as possible in communications in a US-based company, replace 'z's with 's'es, and convert dates everywhere to ISO8601."
HR: "Well yes we can see how that would be classified as 'Chaotic Good', but we were expecting something grounded in science."
Me: "So why were you asking for Myers-Briggs?"

Hmm, libdipshit here is written in ALGOL 68, has a single API entry point called "UR GAY" (translated to ur_gay in the C bindings) and is licensed under BIG BILL HELL'S LICENSE but it saves me from writing precisely one (1) line of my own code so here we go
