@bigcalm very likely not mounted, it might well be /dev/sda1
@bigcalm it will be the first partition on the device. If it's mounted /proc/mounts will show it as VFAT.
@bigcalm it looks like the modprobe config is living in that same VFAT boot parition, and you need to create the directories.
@bigcalm You need to enable the device tree overlays as step one. These are applied by the RPi bootloader, which uses the files: config.txt in the VFAT boot partition. Typically this file will have: `include extraconfig.txt`. So you can create a file in that boot partition named `extraconfig.txt` can add the lines: `dtparam=i2c_vc=on
dtparam=i2c_arm=on`. If you plug the SSD into your PC the boot partition will likely show up first.
@bigcalm Do you need to enable any device tree overlays? Or just the modprobe i2c-dev?
@sil locking up in what way? I had some Radeon DRM crashes a few weeks back, but that got fixed in a kernel update.

confession: as someone with ADD, I often imagine myself putting my focus on a task **and then** doing it until completion.
It's romantic, and exciting. Like an action movie.
But, this is basically never how it works out.
@petereisentraut I think one would question whether such a sort order is actually good user experience. But pretty glad I don't have to write collation algorithms.
@alex haha, its all RoHS, and not any whiskers yet. But you could always solder some enamel wires on for the whiskers.
@ascherbaum we could do a PGDay Crown Dependencies in Jersey.
@ascherbaum ahh you mean Falklands Island. I think you probably meant Gibraltar rather than Cyprus too.
@ascherbaum I figured you were just following something along these lines:
@ascherbaum hmm, by that logic isn't PGDay DE actually PGDay UK?

BTW, mastodon has thoroughly eclipsed Twitter as the meeting place for developers and clear-thinking users. I don't imagine you'll see too many more Twitter links from me.
@davew very much like you should not trust Open Source projects controlled by a single company.
It's a shame so many web devs enable Google by only using Chrome for dev work.
Chrome has become the new IE!
As they say: power corrupts.
Firefox has issues and need to up their game, but change is not achieved without people standing for what they believe in and making hard choices.

@vyruss will publish a new #PostgreSQL extension called pg_statviz tomorrow.
He announced it today a #fosdem #pgday .
It sounds very promising.
The extension will be published on GitHub https://github.com/vyruss /pg_statviz

The first talk of the day here at #FosdemPGDay (a #Fosdem fringe event) and Gunnar ‘Nick’ Bluth is on the #PostgreSQL stage talking about how we can learn from his big big fail, titled “LFMF: How a CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY led to a 6 hour downtime” - lots of painful laughter in the room
My post for #PGSQLPhriday where Ryan asked about using PostgreSQL for non relational data:

@dick_turpin yup, going to PGDay FOSDEM
