restic to a local server and to cloud storage. it varies by device, but usually just everything in /home/. The rest of the operating system should be reproducible, whether through images, ansible, nix, or guix, given the information in /home/.

scheduling is done through systemd, usually (or the non-systemd equivalent). I use BackBlaze now, but I switch around occasionally. restic has policy based snapshot removal, and a prune option.

You could try using Hashicorp’s Packer to generate images repeatably (usually more meant for cloud images though). Or NixOS (like others have mention), or Guix (like NixOS, but better in some ways, worse in others). You could make it an Ansible playbook, which would let you both make configured images, and just configure machines that already have an OS.

I do something similar with archiso, fwiw, but that only works with Arch Linux.

Would you want to change your distribution, or just keep Debian with some tools to automate?

Annas archive exists

Make a plugin to a non-vim editor that properly emulates the vim experience, with the non-vim GUI.

Or, if that doesn’t work well enough, fork them.

Failing that, you could just accept your fate. I love my neovim install.

It’s a bit of a false dichotomy, there’s a broad spectrum in both.

A lot of the benefit of religion doesn’t come from the beliefs itself, but the community around them. You could just have a community built around other things, or even a religion that doesn’t mandate theism (UU’s and Quakers come to mind, they have fairly large atheist populations. There’s also less “serious” religions, like TST).

imo you should, before nuking your account, make a backup of everything you said, and maybe some of the surrounding context, and then host it on a website. Just make sure your website is all properly indexed, and shows up when you use the right search terms. I have no idea what the legality of such an undertaking would be, but it would be cool. Or, if you don’t want to bother with that, you could try writing some blog posts based off of the correct answers you gave to obscure questions.

But really, it all depends on what you did with you Reddit account. If you answered people’s obscure questions, you should keep that information. Would someone look up a question you answered? Did you talk a lot in more technical subreddits? Did those arguments you have result in any positive change? But if you spent all your time on big threads with thousands of other people replying, or did a bunch of lurking, maybe your account isn’t worth keeping.

If you account is only of value to you, maybe just downoad a copy of everyhting you’ve said on there, then nuke your account with some tool.

significant other, probably

Are her screeds deranged? Yeah. Are they interesting to read? Also yeah.

“We regret to inform you that, as of July 26, 2024, all Homeworkify services are permanently unavailable.”

A long, long time ago (before I can even remember, I was that young) I attempted to pick up something heavy, and fell into the corner of a wall (like, the outside, so it was pointy). I needed stitches, and I still have a scar.

The details I all got second hand, but I can still just barely see the scar.

If you’ve ever tried DMT, that’s what heaven is like.

Hell is basically a speedball gone wrong.

Why wouldn’t they be in the olympics? Unless a country is banned, it’s just something a country does. Even places that aren’t technically countries participate! There is 206 delegations at this years Olympics, and the UN only recognized a total of 195 nations.

I avoid it basically wherever possible, but sometimes people give me Amazon giftcards.

I don’t buy a huge amount of stuff off the internet, transacting in person is often more convenient. Imo Banggood, Aliexpress, dhgate, taobao, etc. are often some of the best alternatives, because a lot of Amazon is just selling that same stuff, but for more money.

it’s real, huh

the only dead giveaway is if they get doxxed

A “best dad” mug, but you cross out the “best”

probably? I feel like it would make more sense to ask someone else if I was nice (assuming you want an accurate response), given I might be a little biased.

Working there is apparently pretty nice. Microsoft on the inside is not Microsoft on the outside.

But regardless, terrible company with terrible products. Even if they didn’t do anything shady, they still aren’t great.

irssi. the plugin stuff is nice, terminal is better than GUI, and when themed it doesn’t look terrible
