  • Nice post. The ps3 is great fun if you like to tinker with this sort of thing, are on a budget, or even if you just want to relive some old games that never got ported to future gens.

    I picked an original phat model for $20 a few years ago. It came with a 60 gb hdd which I replaced with a 320gb hdd I had laying around that would otherwise just collect dust due to it’s miniscule size. The console made a ton of noise and would get really hot, the thermal compound was completely siezed due to it’s age and heavy work load, so I replaced it with some fresh mx4 and gave the console a good cleaning. I installed Rebug and set the minimum fan speed to 60%, it’s still loud but it doesn’t get hot anymore. Once that was all done I loaded up a 2tb external drive with my favorite games from that generation.

    To be honest, I had a lot of fun jailbreaking and tinkering with it, but I can count on one hand how many times I’ve gamed on it since. I should probably give it to someone who will get more use out of it lol.

    In Windows certain words are reserved for system use. When naming files and directories, you are unable to use these words. Con, being short for “console”, is one of these words. Con is also the Spanish word for “with”, so a Spanish speaking user could not, for example, have a directory called “Fotos con Jim”.







  • Here’s a script from GPT4:

    #!/bin/bash
    
    # Create a temporary file for storing file checksums
    tempfile=$(mktemp)
    
    # Generate MD5 checksums for all files in the current directory and its sub-directories
    find . -type f -exec md5sum '{}' \; | sort > $tempfile
    
    # Detect and delete duplicates
    awk 'BEGIN {
        lasthash = "";
        lastfile = "";
    }
    {
        if ($1 == lasthash) {
            print "Deleting duplicate file: " $2;
            system("rm -f \""$2"\"");
        } else {
            lasthash = $1;
            lastfile = $2;
        }
    }' $tempfile
    
    # Clean up
    rm -f $tempfile
    

    This script can be run with Termux from the root of your internal storage. Usually /sdcard or /storage/emulated/0. Do not confuse this with running from root if you are rooted.

    Before using a script that interacts with your files you should backup anything that is important just in case.

    Furthermore, if you comment out:

    system("rm -f \""$2"\"");
    

    By adding a # in front of it like this:

    # system("rm -f \""$2"\"");
    

    You can run the script and see what files the script would delete without actually deleting them. I would recommend doing this as I have not tested this script.
