I have a couple of no-brand SATA-USB enclosers with some jmicron chipset. Can't remember the exact chipset right now, as my RPi is not working ATM (see edit).

sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX should do the job

Yeah, I use something like this, a no-brand enclosure.

I'm using a couple of cheap Kingston A400 for my setup (120 and 480 GB) and they work just fine. One thing I noticed is that the 120 GB one's health went down to 92%, from 100%, in "just" one year (smart parameter). But that's implies a lifetime of more that 12 years, so I'm not excessively concerned.

EDIT: of course, just after writing this comment the smaller SSD began to behave strangely (errors in dmesg).

Looks like LOS is finally allowing signature spoofing for microg. More info? (review.lineageos.org)
 

Form that committ, it seems to me that LOS is finally allowing signature spoofing for microg (under certain conditions). Have they finally changed their mind?

HI all! Looking for a starter set to play with family. Any suggestion? (lemm.ee)

Hi all!

We're a family of three, my wife, my son (11M) and me. We would like to start playing "real" D&D, after trying a very simplified version we bought a couple years ago.

I've been playing "real" D&D with my friends many years ago, but only as a player, never as the DM. What I'm looking for is a set comprising a Player's Handbook, a DM Handbook and Rules (?). I'm not really sure sure what else I would need to start... I'd be the DM and the player, at least at the beginning...

Can anyone point me towards a good starter pack, with the minimum needed books? Also, any additional suggestion would be welcome.

Thanks a lot in advance!

EDIT: Thanks to everybody! These have been very useful suggestions. I think we may start with the "Starter Set" (cheap, slightly more advanced than the one we're using right now) and if the family enjoy it we may explore the "core rule set" afterwards. Hope my son may appreciate this kind of games, as a healtier alternative to phone/pc video games :-)
