    https://www.borgbackup.org

    has insanely good deduplication and compression. May even fit everything on the 64gb usb.

    But it does archives on a file basis, not partitions, so not sure what kind of hackerman admin priviledges you'd need to restore your windows in case you want to roll back. I've never used windows for this level of fucking with the os - but I've heard you can't modify sys32 etc. even when you use the admin account.

    Why would you need a travel router?

    The rpi already can be set up to hotspot it's own wifi network.

    For connecting to hotel wifi, a simple usb dongle is good enough, as discussed here: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=287485


    In regards to VPN-ing into the media server at home - depending on where you travel, you might not have any internet or you might use up your mobile data volume.

    Afaik grayjay has some blocking circumvention.

    And personally FreeTube worked from the same IP, when regular youtube wanted me to log in.

    That means their metrics suck.

    Because I definitely gain a lot as a programmer, even though it doesn't necessarily translate into measurable profit for my company.

    I do spend my brain less on grindy boring shit and more on crafting creative solutions to interesting problems. Which in turn makes me quite happy - a HUGE benefit.

  • Repost from: https://libreddit.nl/r/linux_gaming/comments/1d8qi81/phoronix_birthday_20_years_of_great_linux_content/ > He really seemed downbeat in his announcements regarding the birthday. He really puts a lot of work into the site but having a niche audience of tech literate users is probably the worst place to be with ad sales tanking as they do. If anybody is using adblockers, it's us and people are cheap. I really hope the guy has a nice birthday and gets lots of love and donations. The phoronix content is always great and I've been a long time reader. (I've donated the same amount as OP - see my screenshot)

    I am trying to set up a way to use my Linux normally and then on demand fire up an OSX VM with GPU passthrough. Arch Linux Gigabyte RX6600xt macos 13 Ventura VM I've been fucking around with it for two days, getting a bit further each time, but now I am stuck. I can boot up the vm just fine with OpenCore-Boot.sh Here is my script: https://pastebin.com/McyHyMk4 What I see, the screen goes black, then I see the TianoCore boot logo, then some errors and nothing more happens. https://imgur.com/JdTkXG2 I ran info pci via telnet and it showed the GPU. I have agdpmod=pikera in the config.plist and rebuilt the OpenCore.qcow2 according to the official instructions. When I add a vnc option and vnc into it from another computer, I can see the proper boot menu and select an entry and boot into macos. It even seems to recognize an AMD gpu, but not fully. Please tell me any debugging / info providing steps, as I am quite new to this. Thank you very much for your time and effort.

    I was reading the reddit thread on Claude AI crawlers effectively DDOSing Linux Mint forums https://libreddit.lunar.icu/r/linux/comments/1ceco4f/claude_ai_name_and_shame/ and I wanted to block all ai crawlers from my selfhosted stuff. I don't trust crawlers to respect the Robots.txt but you can get one here: https://darkvisitors.com/ Since I use Caddy as a Server, I generated a directive that blocks them based on their useragent. The content of the regex basically comes from darkvisitors. Sidenote - there is a module for blocking crawlers as well, but it seemed overkill for me https://github.com/Xumeiquer/nobots For anybody who is interested, here is the block_ai_crawlers.conf I wrote. ``` (blockAiCrawlers) { @blockAiCrawlers { header_regexp User-Agent "(?i)(Bytespider|CCBot|Diffbot|FacebookBot|Google-Extended|GPTBot|omgili|anthropic-ai|Claude-Web|ClaudeBot|cohere-ai)" } handle @blockAiCrawlers { abort } } # Usage: # 1. Place this file next to your Caddyfile # 2. Edit your Caddyfile as in the example below # # ``` # import block_ai_crawlers.conf # # www.mywebsite.com { # import blockAiCrawlers # reverse_proxy * localhost:3000 # } # ``` ```

    I have bought a font with a really shitty license agreement and I have a couple of questions. 1. How can I best share the font with the community? (I am afraid of metadata in the font files, which may be tied to my payment account etc. - I had to register and log in to download the ttf files) 2. How can I remove the DSIG and other metadata from the ttf file while keeping it usable? 3. Are they able to detect it if I use the font in a commercial product online by crawling my website and if yes, how could I prevent an automatic detection attempt? To my (and possibly your) surprise, I didn't find any free downloads of the font online. Their license is tied to a personal account, you have to log into once a year to keep the license. As far as I understand they theoretically could use the DSIG to let the ttf files "expire", at least when used in software that verifies the signature. But I may be wrong, please let me know. Thanks in advance and cheers-I mean ARR

    How to datahoard Lemmy

    Sorry for not doing much research beforehand and asking a newbee question. I am looking for some entrypoint info to the question: How would one go about datahoarding lemmy? It seems to be a grade above what I've been doing so far (downloading video/audio from streaming platforms and backing up web articles and blogposts as pdfs) due to the distributed nature and the activitypub protocol. ___ Relevant stuff that I've found so far but havent studied extensively: 1. This does not seem to store most of the data https://github.com/tgxn/lemmy-explorer
