I use arch, btw

you should especially do this on Friday 5:00pm in production, right before going on an international vacation with bad Internet.

i used to use zfs for backups via snapshots. but I find using rsync and hard links is much more convenient. i can use standard tools to look through backups and track which files changed if needed.

why do you want to make the switch?

just leave them. i thought I would miss some of my communities. but I don’t at all… and the toxic right wing propaganda doesn’t make the front page ever.

so one thing I never got when. I was watching robocop was the danger of having mega corporations owning public services. I never gave it a second thought, and liked robocop cause hey robot cop action 😃
