What do you use to back up local files from Linux to external hard drive?
I have been using rsnapshot, but maybe there are better solutions out there?
Does anyone have an experience with btrfs and snapshots? Do you trust it?

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:

  1. Break up corporate monopolies

  2. Continue building union power

  3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics

Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

@rbreich Yeah I wish people would recognize as the Labor of Operating Systems.

If we would collectively act, to help each other out by switching to Linux, and stop being beholden to (Ads in your Start Menu) Big Tech, and do the work to take back the means of computation, we'd have a chance against stupid corporate dystopia.

Many companies similarily beholden to big tech need to be broken up, but change starts at your home directory.

I know. I know. I'm the crazy one. right? smh

Impressions after a week using KDE Neon: Amazing

It's been fairly stable as I would expect from an LTS. There's LOT of hiccups with whatever is happening in the tray area (power and battery sometimes doesn't work).

Language is pretty screwed up. I speak both English/Spanish in a Spanish location. Installer chooses half spanish and english in the /etc/locale, and has issues changing it in the frontend.

Overall nothing I can't fix as I put stability overall

@arstechnica Well don't use products. It is as easy as that...
Btw and of course no products.

I’m on the hunt for a typed-note app to catalog my historical research and blurbs

Hard Requirements:

  • support
  • tags
  • search
  • local storage option

NiceToHaves:

  • rich text formatting / markdown
  • image support
  • iOS app

So far, I’m hovering over Joplin and Simplenote. However, open to other suggestions. 🤗

Well f*ck me, RHEL 9 finally got rid of NIS. I think I knew this was coming but that was so far in the future, I had plenty of now problems to deal with. They are right, NIS is not at all secure for user auth. Great. I don't use NIS for that anymore. I use NIS for groups, netgroups, and automount maps, especially automount maps. I'm not worried about security for those. Might be time to finally develop a replacement to those bits of NIS and retire NIS like I've been contemplating.

@arstechnica Now is the best time to switch to a different operating system or switch completely to a new infrastructure. Like

But for a start does the trick with free open-source software and always free updates for the OS of your choice ...

Question! Why should local governments use taxpayers’ money to buy proprietary, closed software from a single vendor? And what happens to citizens' data? A solution is to move to free and open source software like and – which is exactly what Schleswig-Holstein is doing: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/04/04/german-state-moving-30000-pcs-to-libreoffice/

alias ds='date +"%Y_%b_%d_%H_%M_%S_%N"'

If a file is made in this way: "ds"
the output will look like this.

ie.
todo_2024_Mar_31_04_23_31_051692831.md

If there is a better way, comments are welcome.

In lots of distro reviews people dedicate some amount of time to wallpapers... like it is a vital part of an OS.... For god's sake, how many of you use default wallpapers and not downloading/setting up your fav custom one? 😅 Why not use that time for really important features instead? 🥺

Plasmashell inverts(flips?) screen after running a game? (X11/Plasma 6)

Hi, I'm using nvidia drivers. FOr whatever reason at times Plasmashell would get "cute" and flip the screen to the point I just run plasmashell --replace and everything goes back to normal...

Is there something... I could do ?
