giloronfoo,

Welcome to the community. As you can see, there are some that are quite helpful and others that are … less so.

I agree with you that there should be a better way to do that. It’s been a while, but I’m pretty sure the Chrome deb file handled all of that for you. I’ve always been confused why every company that sets up their own PPA didn’t do that.

giloronfoo,

From the picture, it’s just the context menu key with a new key cap.

giloronfoo,

The video made it look like this was the context menu key. This may just be a key cap change for WHQL certification of keyboards.

Is it actually dangerous to run Firefox as root?

I have a few Linux servers at home that I regularly remote into in order to manage, usually logged into KDE Plasma as root. Usually they just have several command line windows and a file manager open (I personally just find it more convenient to use the command line from a remote desktop instead of directly SSH-ing into the...

giloronfoo,

I’d go for remoting in as not root as the first (and maybe only) step for better security.

From there, running the services in VMs would probably be the next step. Docker might be better, but I have gotten into that yet myself.

As for hypervisor, KVM has worked great for me.

giloronfoo,

The kernel has drivers for very old hardware. It was news last year when support was dropped for i486. That is a 25 year old CPU.

What's an elegant way of automatically backing up the contents of a large drive to multiple smaller drives that add up to the capacity of the large drive?

So I have a nearly full 4 TB hard drive in my server that I want to make an offline backup of. However, the only spare hard drives I have are a few 500 GB and 1 TB ones, so the entire contents will not fit all at once, but I do have enough total space for it. I also only have one USB hard drive dock so I can only plug in one...

giloronfoo,

I would do it by manually splitting it up into sets and writing scripts to back up each of those sets. Then you only have to figure out the split once.

I wonder if rsync has an option to do what you are asking for?

It also sounds like the kind of thing the old tape backup software would do. Maybe look into something that can pretend the drives are tapes.

giloronfoo,

I think they’re expecting thunderbird users to use POP instead of imap, Gmail integration, OWA, or other protocol that expects the mail to stay on the server.

Leaving the mail on the server has been great in Thunderbird since the Mozilla days. I did jump to Gmail web app a long time ago though. I’m assuming Gmail support has improved in the last 15 years?
