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?
@rbreich Yeah I wish people would recognize #Linux as the Labor #Union 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.
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
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.
In lots of #linux 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...
