The main difference is probably that I have a desktop PC rather than a laptop (plus, a few old hard disks lying around).
I think I'll keep the local replica even when I'm finished reorganizing the library: the local copy doubles as a backup and I must say I am enjoying the faster access times.
I also read that drives should not be spun down and up too often, but I think it only matters if you do that hundreds of times a day?
Anyway, the reason I spin down my drives is to save electricity, and... more for the principle than for the electric bill (it's only 2 drives).
Never heard of it.... OMG that must be the worst name for a backup solution! :D
It reeks of abandoned software (last release is 0.50 from 2018), but there is recent activity in git, so... IDK
Yes, Syncthing does watch for file changes... that's why I am so puzzled that it also does full rescans :)
Maybe they do that to catch changes that may have been made while syncthing was not running... it may make sense on mobies, where the OS like to kill processes willy-nilly, but IMHO not on a "real" computer
The ones I added recently are all git-related (one key for signing and I started using different keys for codeberg, gitlab and github)
I did add a bunch of new keys to my ssh agent... this might really be it!
Now that's a neat idea! (not sure I'll ever implement it though: having passwords on my ssh keys is already enough of a hassle, plus having provisioning and scripts ask for password is a PITA)
Anyway, I was just trying to authenticate with a password, like we used to back in the day :)
(it's only for install isos or freshly installed systems that I've not provisioned yet - everything else requires a key).
How would that improve security when all a bad actor has to do is add -o PubkeyAuthentication=no on their side?
Also, I'm pretty sure it used to just ask for a password?
It used to back in the day, especially if you tried using shitty windows usb inkjets.
Nowadays basically all printers are network printers (they are, aren't they?) plus we have cups which is the same thing macos uses (so manufacturers actually care).
Agreed. I don't come here to read about windows.
Also, "microsoft's ads for linux" in the title is ~~a fraud~~ clickbait.
(I assume you meant "I created a separated /var partition")
You can move/resize partitions from basically any live usb (via cli or gparted for gnome and kde partition manager for kde).
Shall you want to, you can also merge the var partition with (say) your root partition:
Be aware that you can very easily lose your data ;)
PS: just in case, try running flatpak uninstall --unused
Because podman :)
