That’s not AI

Hold down the Shift button every time you shut down windows. Windows is really nasty, it does not actually shutdown properly and does not properly shut down drives and stuff when doing proper shutdowns and it always messes with other OS.

This is so funny, The windows should be blue coloured and linux be red.

Meta is cancer for any platform.

I feel my mobile becomes dirty once I download any of that shit.

I have a VPS hosted on Digital ocean with Nginx running as proxy, I use openvpn to connect to the VPS and access all my services over the VPS ip address.

I own a domain and forward all the requests from my domain to the Home server IP from my VPS, very useful because I can use different subdomains for different services all on port 80 or 443 even though the service is running on random port.

Need to give synthing a try

I have heard people have successfully utilised Mailcow without any issues for many years.

Personally gave it a try once but setting up ports, firewalls, virus scans, anti spams, dns felt too much effort for what I was going to use it for

The backups with time shift are incremental, hence most of the time the backup is taken within seconds and it only stores changes over time, something similar to git.

I used to do it exactly for that uses case, the backup was quick because there generally are not much changes outside the home directory.

I used to have Daily backups and monthly backup like 20 different dates stored in a relatively small space.

Like if my system is 30 gb then a 50 gb backup partition would store months of daily backups.

Not answering your question but I had installed btrfs on my fedora install, thought I would use it for backups and system restores using snapshots.

But I felt there was always a performance tradeoff when doing a lot of writes like npm install and stuff.

Eventually replaced btrfs with ext4 and backup solution like timeshift.

I would say if you want system recovery then tools like timeshift make it really really simple and straightforward taking backups and restoring them.

Sometimes you just don’t need a Swiss army knife to do most basic stuff.

Even with VPN and browser it doesn’t load. WTH. Google is really censoring this hard.

The image shows for me It shows on the feed but not on comment page, Something weird is going on

Oh, looks like boost for lemmy on Android is playing games with me.

No links but took this from my own phone today

use massgrave[dot]dev for all the windows software. its very easy

I thought firefox and ungoogled chromium did same job in terms of privacy.

I see I was wrong.

Which linux phone is practical?

Almost all of them lack good hardware and feel overpriced.

Remember the slow internet had to wait overnight for 40 megabyte game and finally finding out it didn’t work.

You went straight from windows to vanilla arch ?

Quite impressive

Used it in development environment, well I didn’t need the snapshot feature and it didn’t have a straightforward swap setup, it lead to performance issues because of frequent writes to swap.

Not a big issue but annoyed me a bit.
