It’s not only software vendors but Wayland itself lacks some crucial features. For me it’s auto-type and screen magnification - both are showstoppers for me.

KMag doesn’t work on Wayland.

“For many years, it [socialist Zionism] was the most significant tendency among Zionists and Zionist organizations, and was seen as the Zionist sector of the historic Jewish labour movements of Eastern Europe and Central Europe, eventually developing local units in most countries with sizable Jewish populations.”

BackInTime or Borg
BackInTime should be easier to set up, Borg is more feature-rich and flexible. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I use both for local and remote backup for years.

jlou, to privacy

"[GNU/]Linux being secure is a common misconception in the security and privacy realm."

https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/linux.html

"[GNU/]Linux is thought to be secure primarily because of its source model, popular usage in servers, small userbase and confusion about its security features. This article is intended to debunk these misunderstandings".

Based on this, one should try to do as much as possible on a GrapheneOS device

No.

  1. Europe is responsible for crisis in other parts of the world, which leads to migration in the first place. Germany as one of the wealthiest nations in the EU has a special responsibility for migrants and asylum seekers.
  2. Even from a plain economical standpoint Germany needs migrant workers.

I installed a new, bigger SSD and cloned the old one, LUKS partition is still old size

Here’s what I did: I bought a new 512 GB SSD to replace my old 256 GB SSD, which was getting full. I put the new SSD in an NVME to USB adapter and then booted to a Fedora 38 live USB and cloned the old drive into the new drive using dd if=/dev/nvme0n1 of=/dev/sda. Then I used gparted to expand the LUKS partition to cover the...

Why not encrypting the new SSD and rsync’ing the content from one drive to the other? Would be easier and safer.

dataprolet,

Safe/unsafe might be the wrong word, but rsync is resumable and also copies permissions for example. dd is more like the brute force method of data transfer.

rsync also gives you two bootable copies of your system. Even better, it gives you a checksum based copy of your files including permissions.

Hyprland is a toxic community (drewdevault.com)

Hyprland is an open source Wayland compositor based on wlroots, a project I started back in 2017 to make it easier to build good Wayland compositors. It’s a project which is loved by its users for its emphasis on customization and “eye candy” – beautiful graphics and animations, each configuration tailored to the unique...

BORE and other alternative kernels

Hey all! I recently installed CachyOS which comes with linux-cachyos-bore as the default kernel, and I have to say that it does feel a lot snappier to just use and click around, even though I have almost the exact same Plasma setup as my previous Arch install. So now I’m wondering how many great patches and forks I’m missing...

I once did a kernel benchmark using various schedulers in different games and the performance differences were negligible.

  1. No, the reverse proxy should be running in your home network and redirects queries it gets on the usual http(s) ports to your applications.
  2. No, you just need a DynDNS service which provides you with a basic domain like myfancyserver.dyndnsprovider.com.

Looking for resources to rebuild my music collection

In the pre-streaming days I used to have a large collection of ripped and downloaded music. However as my taste in music is extremely wide and it became easier and more fun to use hacked streaming services (i.e. Youtube Music Vanced) to play music especially on the go, I decided to let my music collection go years ago. Plus…...

Crypto is still a huge scam and waste of energy without any actual use-case, regardless of any privacy-issues!

How do I or someone else audit graphineos updates, Drama?

For context, this video got me a little spooked about my current OS, I never was super comfortable with their “overnight update” style despite it being more secure.

Recommendations for a Linux system backup tool

I am currently using EndeavourOS for my laptop. Is there a backup solution that is easy to use, and can be run from the EndeavourOS install media without internet? (RSync is included, but no other backup tools are included, to my knowledge.) I don’t want to use another ISO due to space constraints on my USB.

dataprolet,
@dataprolet@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Timeshift for system files, Backintime for user data.

dataprolet,
@dataprolet@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Snapshots are incremental backups.

wiki.archlinux.org/…/Synchronization_and_backup_p…

dataprolet,
@dataprolet@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Now I get your point, sorry. You can use both Timeshift and BackInTime as snapshot tools, but also configure them to create snapshots on a different drive, making it an actual backup.

I for example use Timeshift in Rsync mode for that reason even though I’m also using Btrfs, which Timeshift supports, but only for non-backup snapshots.

Sorry for the confusion, I guess when suggesting both those tools one always has to specify that you need to save snapshots on a secondary drive for it to be a backup.

No, Flexo is not like Unattended Upgrades. Flexo just downloads packages in a cache for you to download them locally using pacman as usual. It’s mainly to increase download speeds and decrease doubledownloadsing the same files in one network to different clients. Unattended Upgrades is actually installing security updates automatically without user input. This is by design not supported and not possible on Arch Linux.

I think systemd-boot is a lot easier to configure.
