luthis,

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

luthis,

Thanks! I will keep it up!

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,

I was under the assumption that Youtube had to pay artists for their music being on there? Is that not what is happening?

And if not, how has Youtube not been cease and desisted/sued into absolute oblivion?

luthis,

I think you’re thinking of

systemctl list-units --type=service --state=stopped

status gives the state of the system and a cgroup tree

luthis,

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

luthis,

Note that there isn’t a Linux version of the protondrive app. … I know! what the fuck right?

Secondly, I would just shove Linux Mint onto a USB and use that as a live distro with persistence for a while, just to get used to things. I’m not a fan of debian(/-based) or apt, but it works.

Unfortunately no filter here

luthis,

If I eventually get around to using a GUI, I’ll check out portainer

luthis,

Dude, I use the CLI all day, every day and I can’t freakin remember half the commands I need.

If it’s something I use often, I’ll make an alias even if it’s just so I can run ‘alias’ in the terminal to get a list of things I use often.

luthis,

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

luthis,

I’m so dam good at that challenge.

luthis, (edited )

I think you mean this one

luthis,

Same!

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,

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,

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,

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.

The script takes the drives as arguments:


<span style="color:#323232;">$ pwd
</span><span style="color:#323232;">/usr/lib/systemd/system
</span><span style="color:#323232;">$ cat drive_backup.service 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">[Unit]
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Description=backup fdisk + e2image
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Wants=drive_backup.timer
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">[Service]

</span><span style="color:#323232;">[Install]
</span><span style="color:#323232;">WantedBy=multi-user.target
</span>

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


<span style="color:#323232;">$ cat drive_backup.timer 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">[Unit]
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Description=timer to run drive backup

</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">[Install]
</span><span style="color:#323232;">WantedBy=timers.target
</span>

Should be fairly self-explanatory. 


<span style="color:#323232;">$ cat /usr/bin/backup_meta_data.sh

</span><span style="color:#323232;">	clean=$(echo $var | sed 's;/;-;g')
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	sudo e2image $var $working_dir/$backup_date.$clean
</span><span style="color:#323232;">done
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo 7z a $backup_dir/$backup_date.archive $working_dir/"$backup_date"*
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo rm $working_dir/"$backup_date"*
</span>
luthis,

Ok time to investigate ZFS

luthis,

Fixed it, I had to delete the images

luthis,

Pretty sure it was the onions.

luthis,

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