  • I wrote a python script to backup my home directory

    Jump

  • Yeah, no problem... I started out with just bare rsync - but I did the backup infrequently and needed my notes to know the command. Then I wrote a simple shell script to run the rsync for me. Then I decided I needed more than one backup, redundancy is good. Then I wanted to keep track of the backups so I had it write to .backuplog then that file started getting dated (every time I run a "sun" backup the record of the previous one is useless) so Finally TaDa! loci is born.

  • Microsoft Proposes "Hornet" Security Module For The Linux Kernel

    Jump

  • They probably named it HORNET for a reason - think Japanese Murder Hornets... What Could Possibly Go Wrong??

    It will probably start out as little glitches and slowdowns to destroy faith in your system ("Windows works right all the time") a random 2 second pauses. Finally one day every Linux box in the world crashes, all at the same time, because some 'dummy' in Microsoft deleted the private signing key.

    Advice on how to deal with AI bots/scrapers?

    Jump

  • Too bad you can't post a usage notice that anything scrapped to train an AI will be charged and will owe $some-huge-money, then pepper the site with bogus facts, occasionally ask various AI about the bogus fact and use that to prove scraping and invoice the AI's company.

    Linus responds to Hellwig - "the pull request you objected to DID NOT TOUCH THE DMA LAYER AT ALL... if you as a maintainer feel that you control who or what can use your code, YOU ARE WRONG."

  • That's not to say any other OS effort is not also a soap opera. I bet Microsoft has its fair share of drama, too; it's just that no one sees it because the development effort is proprietary.

  • Ok, currently, Timberborn will launch but will hang hard after a short time. I used the wrong engine (?) so I will try "Experimental" and report back.

  • the i7 was originally mean to be a my take away bridge over tailscale when I am away from home, and a programming machine (or perhaps a look up machine while I program on the i5 desktop)

  • I have loaded the laptop i7 laptop up with Debian 12, next is Steam so I will try it there. The machine I was going to run it on would not complete a launch and just sat there with the fans going full blast and a black screen...

  • The issue so far is that I bought the Windows version of Timberborn on Steam, so it won't install on my Linux box. Do you suppose since I own the Windows version, the makers of Timberborn would allow me to download the appropriate files for Linux? I thought I had gotten it working last night, but instead I was just streaming it from the windows box.

  • Ok I finally bit the bullet - Windows is blown away. I have not played Timberborn in over 2 months and having a windows machine on my network has always kinda made me feel like I had a spy in the house. Unfortunatly the wife works from home so there are still two windows machines I can't do anything about. My ASUS Vivobook i7 15" laptop is getting Debian but no GUI installed. I don't need a GUI to setup tailscale do I? Anyone know of a good settlement or city building game that is free and runs under Linux?

  • I really just want small and light, and Cheap. 11" is fine. I have a 15" right now. If I decide to give up on Timberborn (I rarely play it and it is the only thing that keeps a windows machine on hand) then this could get re-installed with probably debian with no GUI... I play it rarely, but I still play it. I wish I could get it to run under Debian 12 on my main machine.

  • too small, no keyboard - I tried using my phone with a USB keyboard and a OTG adapter and most keys work but for some reason escape did not.

  • I would not be running a gui - this is strictly for text stuff unless I can do pixel/plot graphics in some BASIC or other language (a framebuffer?)

  • Is coreboot that system where the machine basically boots into a FORTH interpreter that has vocabulary words to read and boot from various media. That would be sweet - Forth is a hoot once you get used to it.
