Whenever my fiio runs out of power. About once a week.

Is anything keeping you from just reinstalling the system and mounting your home into it again (maybe the majority of your customisations live in /home too)? I feel that is a lot less of a hassle than copying files around.

In principle you should be able to restore your system by just copying all of the relevant files from the backup to their correct partitions - it can’t really get any worse if it doesn’t work.

For the future: A backup is only any good if you know how to restore it and tested that that actually works.

Regarding the permissions: If you do a cp fileA.txt fileB.txt fileB.txt will normally be owned by the creating user. So a sudo cp ... will create the files as root.

I would personally use rsync with a few additional options, archive among them. This way the fs is restored exactly as it was. But that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense if the files weren’t copied that way too.

Important question, do they mean

1. 63*V_Earth <= V_Uranus, 64*V_Earth > V_Uranus

or

2. They actually considered sphere packing and thus 64*V_Earth <= V*_Uranus

Nouveau is stable and runs, but don’t expect the best performance. The official NVIDIA driver is unstable, lacks proper wayland support but has decent performance. I’d go with anything but a NVIDIA GPU.

I got a bunch of the Seagate Exos x18. Greate price/TB and performance. Though they were only the 16TB SATA variant and not the SAS one.

Syncthing on my Kobo and all other devices where I want access to my books.

I have a cheap Kobo and put KOReader and Syncthing on it.

I couldn’t even work if I had aliases in my muscle memory. Imagine ssh’ing to a server and every second command you issue doesn’t exist because it’s some weird alias you set up for yourself.

I’ll stick with the “pure” command and use tab completion.

That’s also part of the reason why I don’t use some of the fancy new tools like ripgrep and exa.

So what’s stopping you from putting your LaTeX files into a git repo and building them into a pdf when needed?

With the limited info you have given my first thoughts would be: dns: ipv6 vs 4; firewall; basically anything network related

I just recently updated shutup10 because of another annoyance of windows and was surprised that it didn’t solve my problem right away. Even with shutup10 it’s barely bearable.
