you could "dd" your root partition to a partition on that HDD every now and then. and if you don't have your home on a different partition do that and it's easy to back this up with a syncing tool if u decided to do that or at least the .config .local and .cache directories because many programs put their configuration files in there.

BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN USING "dd" BECAUSE IT CAN MAKE YOU LOSE DATA FOR A WHOLE PARTITION OR DEVICE

docker keeps some data in ~/.local/share/docker btw

cool! thanks for letting me know, i'll try to keep an eye on it

very fancy and nice to use. i see

I searched for a River socket or riverctl command that would allow me to get the active workspace number, but i couldn't find a way for that currently in River. so i can't implement it for River not currently at least. unless maybe someone knows a way to get that info who could refer me to the documentation

thanks! kinda, but i'm using hyprland and the foot terminal. You can control the inactive opacity on hyprland, and control foot's alpha channel, which can make it transparent
