The process of backing up is a matter of preference. Several solutions exist from vendors to freeware.
Lots of people use 'cp' or 'rsync'. I use those prior to borg backups of major repos or archive folders.
Install process is easy. Aside from hypervisors and stuff like that, I just install my OS on bare metal partition, and create a sidecar OS to do maintainance from chroot
FLOSS is dumb because it's too good for us. I haven't paid for software in ten years. And I could use this great stuff to build bad stuff.
That's why I refuse to use Linux. It enables a front end of tech stacks for morons to profit from, and sell ideas like state surveillance, AI worker displacement, and other boogey monster tech to audiences gooning for tech to profit from, instead of honoring the purity of open source and what it enables creative young folk to do with it.
FLOSS didn't radicalize me to create, it radicalized me about worker rights.
Headline 1: mangocats supports local drug dealers by providing free-to-use property under the guise of free pecans to hide young adults that indulge in drug use, promiscuity, and other acts on mangocats pecan orchard.
That's the most obvious and potentially PC way that predators can overreach on someone's generosity and turn a "awwe" thing (the free pecans) into people getting in trouble or hurt.
The worst is some legal jujitsu of your signage "free pecans" implying tacit and potentially unrestricted use and/or terms of use to the orchard. Now some asshole subsumes your free pecans into the bottom line of their criminal enterprise, and you're the longest running connection providing a financial bedrock for their blah blah. Now you're in Rico. Pecans to uncle without even hitting the blunt.
I don't speak from experience. But I was a young adult, I do by the book things, and I also developed an imagination of what can and could happen.
Then I tried magic cigarettes and got paranoid and now all I do is cross my Ts because therenare real good people to become better from. And there's the other kind too and they love slipping people up.
If it's radioactive, that's because of a fundamental assumptive imbalance in the contract between the author, the community, the users, the stakeholders, and the parasitic lawyers and their overlords.
If they don't like it, pay/license and/or contribute.
AFAIK xfce desktop environment on top of Ubuntu (xubuntu), or any Linux distribution, is considered the best resource utilization option for old hardware.
Hi, request for comment: how do you feel about GNU guix? Is this the future of package management we wanted?
I've used RedHat and Ubuntu and Arch primarily because of the package ecosystem, and security is definitely major concern for most sysadmins (I am not one).
You can save tons of time by adding aliases to your .gitconfig such as 'ga $fname' (where "fname" would be files you want to add) the alias for git add. You can also do the same thing with gc, gs, etc and if youre like me and you write dozens of lines of code a day, it can save you a lot of time.
Well...AI pushes from management are absolutely not just a boomer phenomena. The whole premise of AI buzz in management is "let's hire less workers".
I'd say it's more of the offshoring to "cheaper" labor markets but except only the AI giants writing agents get paid, not actual people.
Instead of lifting people out of poverty or providing humane assistive technology, every AI ceo out there has their eyes on selling their products so their clients can lay off people.
This concept is the enemy of the a centuries old idealistic societal pillar of the West: Liberté, Libertas... this has blessed so many of us in the West, and I beg that it doesn't leave.
Something beautiful and as sacred as the freedom from forced labor and the freedom to choose your trade, is the concept of the free and unbounded innocence of voices asking their leaders and each other these questions, to determine amongst ourselves what is fair and not, for our own betterment and the beauty of free enterprise.
It's not so much that the Chinese state is an awful power to behold (it is and fuck Poohhead)... but this same politic is on the rise in the West and it leads to war. It always leads to war. And now the most automated form of state and corporate propaganda the world has ever seen is in the hands of a ruthless ruling class that can, has, and will steal bread from children's hands, and literally take the medicine from the sick to pad their pockets.
Such is the twisted fate of society and likely always will be. We need to fight and not with prayers; this moment is God forsaking us to behold how the spirit breaks and what the people want to fight for as ruthlessly as the others do to steal our bread.
