note to myself and anyone with same problem who finds the thread:

stumbled on psync: A naive tool for syncing partitions using rsync which sounds like it’s at lest trying to do this task.

No documentation, no users, no project changes in 6 years… Will give it a try another time.

a.gup.pe groups

Guppe groups look like regular users you can interact with using your existing account on any ActivityPub service, but they automatically share anything you send them with all of their followers.

1. Follow a group on @a.gup.pe to join that group
2. Mention a group on @a.gup.pe to share a post with everyone in the group
3. New groups are created on demand, just search for or mention @YourGroupNameHere@a.gup.pe and it will show up
4. Visit a @a.gup.pe group profile to see the group history

is this like a hashtag?

hmmm I think this is a bit beyond me; at this point I don’t want to create an additional side project. I might learn about the more modern spiffy file systems in a few years.

the clonezilla website clonezilla.org says

Differential/incremental backup is not implemented yet.

@tkk13909@sopuli.xyz @dan@upvote.au

Borg backup has insane deduping. The first time I used it I thought it was broken because of how much smaller the backup was compared to the original. I used it with vorta GUI.

I am not sure how to combine the task of making a disk image with backing up with borg either on the command line or via one of the GUIs?

Thanks I will look at rdiff. I am not sure if rsync is able to “see inside” the *.img files to discern the individual files. If it can then it would be helpful because I could just re-write the same file over and over again and keep backups using rsync or any of the various rsync-derrived tools?

The filesystem will be cold at time of back up because I will need to shut it down, remove the card from the console and put it into my computer’s reader so no worries about that.

it might be time for the Mbin team to start getting a little more free with the fork.

the impression i had of mbin was very “anything goes” did that not end up being how things shaped up??

where do you live that 98% of people watch the nightly news

She is so evil she should be on Scandal.

I believe the scene OP is talking about is in Kira’s quarters

Ah I knew the scene by this description.

Later in this ep is one of my fav moments of all DS9. Kira in the creek moving rocks. Bareil comes to lay some charm but then the dark shadow of Winn on the bridge… so polite. So politiq.

“You can stay here as long as you need… Even a week!” or smthg like this.

Cut to the final eps of her a Dukat…

A lot of the fediverse reminds me of usenet and usenet was destroyed by spam. (Not by september(s).)

For my own purposes as a flesh n blood user I agree with you. However when I consider spam and its modern descendants, idk. Would it then be the case that any spam (etc) instance could just transport all its “user” data to a new instance?

There are different ways of relating to online content.

In some contexts I am more motivated to make contributions when I have reason to believe they will be persistent for years. I post on forums that have been around for 20+ years, where I search for things and come up with posts from that whole time. So when I write on there I kind of do it with care because I am thinking of people in the future who will find my stuff.

OTOH there is also a place for ephemeral communications. That is the whole draw of snapchat for example. The promise this will be deleted soon. Whether that is true or not is another thing… But people do want it sometimes.

But the reason you can’t log in on another server is just like you can’t login to your hotmail address at gmail.com.

you can’t do that

(for real)

youll be fine :)
