Yeah. It’s not required, but it helps.

Perchance it just felt right.

Well, that’s fine since it isn’t 1982 anymore. Right?

https://torsion.org/borgmatic/ is nice for running a regular manual or automated Borg backup.

https://apps.gnome.org/en-GB/PikaBackup/ is also pretty neat if you want to clicky backup data as a user.

Both are common in package repos. And there’s probably even more, but I’ll mention those two just to point out that you don’t have to script the raw Borg if you don’t want to.

That’s a lot of dollars when you could just admit that Microsoft is and always has been the problem.

Yes, though it it a bit funky.

Anything with red in it. There’s a reason red flag is the term for red flag.

I’m at single digit TBs and dreading that a drive breaks and I need a new one. Not that I have a lot of free space either.

Passive digital data is in fact the only thing that can be perfectly preserved as long as a sufficient number of copies exist and are replicated before the media rots.

Along with backups, keep checksums and check for bit rot regularly! Also make sure that recovery works by testing.

It’s old-ish and maybe not the greatest work of art on screen, but I love that it had a very unique world and characters and humour and it keeps on developing and changing throughout.

It’s been too long. I really kind of want to watch it again.

Sometimes called “A show about smart people for stupid people”.

Another very similar but different series was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Neighbors_(2012_TV_series)

I don’t recall if it had a laugh track, but I guess that’s likely.

That’s kind of the defining feature of spam. Not thinking if it’s appropriate or good, just sending everywhere because some of it will generate clicks.

“Just delete it” or “scroll past” is not a useful response. Spam is infinite unless it’s blocked and/or punishable.

The pointlessness.

I haven’t found anything that isn’t a shell backdoor that you let an llm run commands in, so strictly via chat interfaces.

It was a lot of noise about y2k happening. Then the particular new year came and y2k didn’t happen. Then life went on.

Requesting mod action would probably work.

Unless there is no active mod.

I think it’s pronounced pee-pole.

I don’t think WoL works over IP. In my mind it’s lower (LAN, e.g. ethernet) level. But if it used IP, you’d need to get ARP going before it routes. An “offline” network chip could probably manage that, though.

I’m curious to know what you find. Wireshark is always fun and fun and enlightening. :)
