  • Caring about IP allocation is something that's hard to let go. They're saying that the IPv6 address space is so astronomically large that we need a radical change of mindset to deal with it. Allocate names based on MAC and leave it at that. Ignore the IPs. If you fixate on maintaining specific IPs and prefixes you just complicate your own life for no benefit.

  • See that's the thing, all licenses want to draw up some boundaries. As far as I'm concerned MIT and GPL are just interested in different ones.

    Licenses aren't "restrictive", they're permissive. Without a license you can't do anything with the content, a license gives you some rights instead of none.

  • People seem to think that those who choose permissive licences don't know what they're doing.

    Most of them don't. Lots of people say they use MIT because they want "no restrictions", or call GPL terms "restrictive". That's an instant giveaway that they don't understand what they're talking about.

  • Freedom means that everyone can use your code. Yes, that means for-profit corporations. For free, without restrictions. If I want to make a piece of software to improve people's lives and I don't care to do it for free, I'll choose MIT.

    Why not put the code in public domain then? Why MIT?

  • What OP is trying to do isn't impossible it's actually very interesting. There are lots of people who use tab workflows instead of bookmarks. And I think everybody would benefit from better in-browser search. Just because bookmarks is how it was done 30 years ago doesn't mean we can't try new things.

  • If you literally mean one time then rsync is fine-ish... if you combine it with a checksum tool so you can verify it copied everything properly.

    If you need to backup regularly then you need something that can do deduplication, error checking, compression, probably encryption too. Rsync won't cut it, unless you mean to cover each of those points using a different tool. But there are tools like borg that can do all of them.
