Using old laptop HDD as on the go bootable USB-HDD

Upgrading old laptops from HDD to SSD will leave old HDD's lying on the shelves catching some dust. But if the old HDD's are used as bootable USB-HDD. It can make usage of two or more Operating systems feasible on any computer; which saves the disk space and also not messing up with the default disk present in the laptop.

I had a couple of old HDD's. so I buyed a USB 3.0 to S-ATA HDD enclosure. Below image will show you the HDD inserted into a HDD enclosure.

I experimented by flashing Ubuntu 18.04 to the HDD and used it as bootable USB-HDD. I used it in a hackthon to learn Docker, Terraform, Packer. It ran smoothly without any issues.

Intel Edison arduino MicroSD card 128 GB flashing from exFat to Fat32 format

I bought a 128GB microSD card from samsung, in order to extend my storage space in Intel Edison arduino. But, there is a missing information about the microSD card support in the technical specifications in the official page Intel visit: https://software.intel.com/en-us/iot/hardware/edison# So, I asked the Intel support. They replied with the information about microSD card. Intel Edison arduino supports SDHC (2GB to 32GB) and SDXC (32GB to 2TB) micro SD cards. But, it needs to be in FAT32 and not exFat Format. In order to format, I used the tool - ' HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool 2.2.3' to format exFa t file type of the microSD card to Fat32 format. You can download the tool from filehippo visit: http://filehippo.com/download_hp_usb_disk_storage_format_tool/ After completing the format and mounting the microSD card to intel edison. Finally, i was able to see the microSD card being detected in the terminal.

depletion of IPv4 and start of IPv6

lets welcome IPv6, You do not need to change your system if you bought your system in these recent years say 3 years back from now. Because Intel, AMD and many other brands of motherboards have already updated their IPv6 internally. Check the below picture you can see a protocol version named IPv6. The Internet Society, an organization dedicated to the good of the Internet, is organizing "World IPv6 Day" on June 8 of this year. Web giants Facebook, Yahoo, and Google, with a combined one billion visitors per day, are participating by enabling IPv6 for their main services that day. But unlike during the IETF IPv6 experiment, IPv4 won't be turned off.
