Enable SMART on Old External Seagate SSD Ubuntu 20.10

I have an old external seagate ssd 2TB for backup called "BUP Slim BL". It was a challenge to enable the SMART capability on Ubuntu 20.10.

You might give this a go: sudo smartctl -d sat -T permissive --smart=on /dev/sda1

If that does not work, you might need:

echo options usb-storage quirks=$(lsusb | awk '/Seagate/ {print $6}'):u | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/ignore_uas.conf
sudo update-initramfs -u

Grub settings and options

Default kernel parameters: "quiet splash".

In my opinion you will get more sucessful boots and reduced graphical errors on boot if you remove quit and splash. Specifically the splash screen can make strange things happen and when removing "quiet" you are able to debug if there is an error.

 

I also tried to fiddel with "/etc/grub.d/48_linux_zfs" where I tried to out comment #vt_handoff="1" and set quiet boot to zero:

Boric Acid and Borax Recipe For Preservation

1 kg of borax or boric acid mixed with 20 liters of water to soak bamboo.

1 teaspoon of borax or boric acid mixed with 2 teaspoons of sugar. Mix a bit of water into this to make it a paste to control the amount of termites and ants.

Tesseract Thai Language

Using Tesseract 4 with standard settings for OCR, will you give you odd spaces in the Thai letters.

I found this command example to be a good option: tesseract image.png outfile -l Thai -c preserve_interword_spaces=1

Excel Baht To Text and English Version

I was very surprised that a function BAHTTEXT() exists in Excel. It converts a number to written words.

There is no English equivalent, but many functions and workarounds exist on the internet. For example the VBA function here: https://www.sumproduct.com/blog/article/a-to-z-of-excel-functions/the-bahttext-function
