Actually, I do have a quite usable FreeDOS running in DOSBox on my Linux machine, but it's not quite the same as running DOS / FreeDOS on the metal. Getting floppies to work as seamlessly as they do on a machine meant for DOS for example.

Linux for example will boot easily under both UEFI and BIOS - but I suppose that is because Linux does not ask anything of either once it is running.

@droolio@feddit.uk I see what you're asking. You’re wondering if, instead of storing a duplicate file when another backup set already contains it, I could use a hardlink to point to the file already stored in that other set?

I have a system where I create a backup set for each day of the week. When I do a backup for that day, I update the set, or if it’s out of date, I replace it entirely with a fresh backup image (After 7 backups to that set). But if the backup sets became inter-dependent, removing or updating one set could lead to problems with others that rely on files in the first set.

Does that make sense? I am asking because I am not familiar with the utilities you mentioned and may be taking your post wrong.

Especially one that lets you know how long it's been since you took time to run a backup, keeps track of which set of backups could be updated, and which should be refreshed, and keeps a log file up to date and in .csv format so you can mess with it in a spreadsheet?

That's ok Like any landing you can walk away from. Any code that runs to spec is good, much could be better.

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.

It's also to help me learn python. And it works for me. : ^ )

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.

There is also Workspace Behavior=>Screen Locking where one may set automatic screen lock, ( I uncheck both boxes )

Allow me to suggest a different strategy: Let...the...pikachou...win

From the above for those who find it TTDU, This block of addresses is set aside for internally routed nodes inside ISPs.

( *TTDU Too technical didn't understand )

Thanks! That does look useful! Why does Tailscale use the 100.x.y.z range of IP addresses? Aren't those also normal routable addresses?

Perhaps I will need to print from time to time, and I may want to access my desktop machine.

If I can use 2FA, especially a time-based one-time password That will be good. I have authy on my phone.

The traveling machine is going to be a Linux machine which will have a strong login password.

So the server as a talescale router set up to only accept a routing connection from my traveling laptop with 2fa. My server's other services only accepting connections from my network. Do I have the basic concepts correct?

My first distro was Yggdrasil

I only do a few things to my stock KDE, 1)dark theme 2)1 panel on the left cuz my screen is wide 3)install a few of my favorite apps. 4) No timeouts, no auto screen locks. Does a standard set of plugins for Firefox count? Setting up my email account in Thunderbird?

A bigger question is will anything be damaged if you try it?

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.

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.

--some-- free users. unless I have to upgrade - free for a month and then $19.99 a month after that. nope.
