  • Never won't not be

    Triple negative. Nice!

    • Can one recover from an accidental rm -rf of system directories by copying those files back in from a backup?

    Jump

  • Yes but it's hard work.

    I did it from the other side of the planet. I accidentally ran an rm -rf ... command on a running system. Luckily I had an identical system running that I could use to copy over the files, devices, etc.

    Learning about inodes and /proc/xxx/fd works, I was able to recover enough files to then copy over the rest from the other system.

    Doing it over SSH from the other side of the world was a tough 14 hours.

    Jump

  • Igloos and penguins are each in completely different hemispheres from one another.

    • What time is it?

    Jump

  • Time you bought a watch.

    • anyone know why spmp isn't working

    Jump

  • You'll probably need to provide more details. SPMP isn't something we've heard of before.

    "Isn't working" is very ambiguous. If you have error messages, that would be useful.

    • What are your must-have selfhosted services?

    Jump

  • E2EE chat.

    • Searching for a self-hostable podcast manager

    • Any FOSS todo lists with time-blocking calendar feature?

    Jump

  • https://tasks.org/

    When combined with Davx5 it will sync to a server. Integrates with calendars as you desire, I think (my workflow doesn't include the time blocking but the tasks show up on a calendar and you can specify their duration but I'm not certain about the time blocking).

    • Is there any point in using MFA if you use a password manager to auto generate all your passwords for each account you have?

    Jump

  • Ahhh. Props to you, kind stranger.

  • Yes. It prevents replay attacks.

    Jump

  • That's why I buy secondhand Pixels. You can normally get near-new quality if someone orders one as a gift and it's the wrong colour, or they accidentally chose the wrong storage size, or something similar.

    That way Google's not getting my money.

    • Firefox Android Battery Drain - alternatives?

    Jump

  • Banking, most likely (depending on the bank).

    Google Pay/Wallet/whatever-it's-called-today, no.
