luthis,

Both lines are commented out, # means that it is ignored

It's funny how google pretends the music on YouTube isn't straight up piracy and everyone just goes along with it

Most people have extremely weird ideas of what’s considered piracy and what isn’t. Downloading a video game rom is piracy, but if you pay money to some Chinese retailer for an SD card containing the roms, that’s somehow not piracy. Exploiting the free trial on a streaming site by using prepaid visa cards is somehow not...

luthis,

Live music isn’t what I’m referring to though, it’s the ripped and uploaded albums

luthis,

So does that mean albums ripped and uploaded to Youtube do result in royalties being paid to the artists?

What about in the case where there are no ads?

luthis, (edited )

I think you mean this one

luthis,

Same!

luthis,

You could try kdenlive.org and www.openshot.org

I haven’t done much editing, but they are fairly popular and decent tools. They also come as an AppImage, which means they pretty much ‘just work.’

And handbrake.fr gets a mention for transcoding.

Does `cp -v` print out the file name when it starts copying it or when it's done?

So if I had a cp -v operation fail, is the last file name it printed out the last successful file copy, or is it the failed partially copied file? If you had to ensure all files are copied correctly without overwriting anything, would deleting the last filename that was printed from the destination folder delete the partially...

luthis,

All hail the rsync!

We thank the rsync for it’s unwavering reliability.

Amen.

luthis,

As a protonvpn user on linux (arch) I can say that it is totally fine for me. I am using Gnome though.

luthis,

I’m so dam good at that challenge.

luthis,

Pretty sure it was the onions.

luthis,

I comment less times per month than days per month so… it’s not that.

The script takes the drives as arguments:


<span style="color:#323232;">$ pwd

Set to run at 3:40am every day, but probably could be once weekly really.

Should be fairly self-explanatory.

luthis,

Great tips, thanks!

I’m using ext4 across everything I think.

Can you enable superblocks after you’ve already formatted the drive?

Fdisk saves the offsets so keeping a record of that at least sounds like a good idea.

luthis,

For fun and learning. It’s just another tool to go with file level backup.

And the backup for this is 40mb and really fast, but backing up files even when compressed would be hundreds of GB, maybe terabytes, and then you’re paying for that amount of storage online somewhere, uploading for hours…

luthis,

Ok time to investigate ZFS

luthis,

Oh you’re right it does work… well fuck knows what I was doing wrong before.

Yeah this is a backup in case I like, mv file to /dev/sda1 or something.

Not a backup of the files, but a backup of the structure.

luthis,

Thanks! I will keep it up!

luthis,

Yeah definitely share your config! I’ve only just scratched the surface with wxHexEditor

luthis,

I needed a way to pass an argument into the command so it can be used in name=“$1”

How to bypass a metered connection?

In North America, using Xfinity for reference. I want to create both a home NAS and offline Wiki/media backup. Problem is to get the amount of data I need would blow through my plan and throttle my speed. I guess I could try and do it over a longer period or download just before the billing cycle renews so even if I go over it...

luthis,

ISPs still have data caps?

That should be outlawed by now.
