to hell

On most filesystems, nowhere. You simply tell the filesystem to ``forget'' about the file and to stop holding its place.

Lucky for you vsauce already made a video for that.

It goes to your mom's house and gives her a right good smashing.

Does an 8gb usb drive weigh more when it is full than when it is less? How much does 1 gigabyte weigh?

Define delete.

Usually, the file resides to ~/.trash. And if needed, the memory blocks are rewritten

you're fucking retarded

to Valhalla

same place Harambe went

> he thinks flipping switches adds weight

The inode is marked as free.

It does not go anywhere, but rather, references to it will be overwritten by nullpointers.

Therefore the file is still there, it can no longer be found.

Kind of like you when you die.

a 1 weighs more than a 0 so it really depends on what you have saved :)

If full means used, as opposed to brand new, yes; it weights marginally more.

It can be found by the header.

Sure can, but without proper references in the filesystem there is no guarantee that bits won't be overwritten whenever the system does another write operation on the disk.

reminds me so much of my ex

I STILL LOBE YOU ILIANA, I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT YOU. IT HURTS SO MUCH NOT HAVING YOU AROUND. PLEASE TAKE ME BACK, I'M A TRAIN WRECK WITHOUT YOU! :_;

Well that's depressing

She never loved you anyway.

Typically it stays on the drive until it's overwritten with something else.

File Heaven if it accepted Jesus Christ as its Lord and Savior and voted Republican.

Oh shit, it's me from 2 years ago. One day you'll realize she did you a favor m8. Look forward to that day.

To monkey heaven with Harambe.

thank you

zero is also one of nothing. The new denotation one of nothing is something. Making zero = one.

When you buy a 1TB drive it's actually 120TB so your data is always kept in a safe place for the NSA to visit.

>the current state of Sup Forums

>bumping trash threads

well, one copy is sent to the government, the other is actually deleted

ebin

She already took another cock.Forget her and get new pussy.

My gf's sister broke out with her bf last week and she took new dick this week.

While he is cuck crying for her while she cries how far dick got inside her.

kys tripcunt

fuck man

How long is your tripcode?

8 chars. Not my only 9 letter trip.

Case in point.

>buy 640gb drive
>its actually 595gb
I fucking hate marketers.I hope their dicks fall off

Just to rub it in.

Fuck Thought that was a 3 was an J. I need to change font.

Yeah it weighs a very, very tiny amount more.

>I don't understand physics

It's actually been proven that a terabyte of data weighs about as much as a single atom. So you're a retard m8.

>being this retarded
i hope your head falls off

literally who

>doesnt know falcon
kys.

the other tripfags should die tho

lmao

You don't seem mad. Like at all.
The the best thing about trips. They're still anonymous. So you never really know who, unless they give away personal information.

fuck you i can tripfag aswell you useless shit

>secure trip
What a faggot.

>he thinks electrons are weightless

>he thinks usbs store an electrical charge

Man up, faggot.

>unsecure trip
what a retard

O fut eu pe Ileana

That's exactly what they do. You write to flash memory by injecting electrons into it.

Man the fuck up you pussy

Nowhere. The filesystem usually just deletes the record of the file and thus marks the space where it was as empty.

>he thinks flash memory is magnetic based

look up rest weight

install gentoo to get over her

linux.die.net/man/2/unlink

The operating system sets a flag on the file to mark it for overwrite. The data is set to be overwritten, before free memory.

Oh wait this is a shitposting thread. The file goes into the trash can, then the operating system makes all that bad data go away c:

What part of the operating system? The GNU part or the Linux part?

I still love Alana ;;. I miss her and dream lewd thoughts about her. Fuck, I'm so pathetic.

>confusing metric GB with IEC GiB

retard

windows NT or whatever, i dunno lol

the filesystem specific code, either in user space if FUSE or whatever, upstream kernel filesystem like Ext4 or Btrfs

>buy 500gb HDD
>actually has 649gb
feels good

GNU is not part of the operating system.

Linux IS the operating system.

FSFcucks on life support.

falcon has been here longer than everyone in this thread except me

given that virtually every userland code you are using on loonix is dependent on some libc, GNU libc possibly being the most feature complete, yes GNU is very much a core part of the "OS"

how many programs in your shitty distro even define their own _start routine?

or are you some edge fag using alpine linux or some other musl/bsd libc distro

>or are you some edge fag using alpine linux or some other musl/bsd libc distro
Haha, enjoy your buffer overflows.

The Rainbow Southbridge.

Not all software is written in C, you fucking moron!

>he doesn't define his own __start() routine

If using Windows 10, to a Microsoft datacenter.

>``forget''
Why do I keep seeing people doing this instead of using actual double quotes?

LaTeX

You misspelled "cancer".

it is taken off the index and be treated as "free space" that can be overwritten.

Think of tape cassettes.

If it had been a good file, like paid software, then it goes to software heaven. Now, if it was a bad file, like those commonly associated to free software and other things such as anything related to unsecure android phones, then it goes to software hell.
