Really sticking it to those… friendly Russian kernel maintainers. Really doing your part for your individual Two Minutes Hate.
So presumably, as a consistent person that is outrages by invasions and death, you call for the expulsion of all Americans and Usraelis, right?
“Israel” is a terrorist state and always has been. As an occupier, the resistance has the right to oppose it by all means deemed necessary.
As a start, follow the 3-2-1 rule:
At least 3 copies of the data.
On at least 2 different devices / media.
At least 1 offsite backup.
I would add one more thing: invest in a process for verifying that your backups are working. Like a test system that is occasionally restored to from backups.
Let’s say what you care about most is photos. You will want to store them locally on a computer somewhere (one copy) and offsite somewhere (second copy). So all you need to do is figure out one more local or offsite location for your third copy. Offsite is probably best but is more expensive. I would encrypt the data and then store on the cloud for my main offsite backup. This way your data is private so it doesn’t matter that it is stored in someone else’s server.
I am personally a fan of Borg backup because you can do incremental backups with a retention policy (like Macs’ Time Machine), the archive is deduped, and the archive can be encrypted.
Consider this option:
Your data raw on a server/computer in your home.
An encrypted, deduped archive on that sane computer.
That archive regularly copied to a second device (ideally another medium) and synchronized to a cloud file storage system.
A backup restoration test process that takes the backups and shows that they restores important files, the right number, size, etc.
If disaster strikes and all your local copies are toast, this strategy ensures you don’t lose important data. Regular restore testing ensures the remote copy is valid. If you have two cloyd copies, you are protected against one of the providers screwing up and removing data without you knowing and fixing it.
Why does it need to be a scripting (by this I assume interpreted) language? For your requirements - particularly lightweight distribution - a precompiled binary seems more appropriate. Maybe look into Go, which is a pretty simple language that can be easily compiled to native binaries.
Such an amazing turnout
Al-Jazeera also posts bullshit. They’re useful for specific issues in the Middle East because they aren’t totally bought off against Palestine or Iran. They still suffer from the core fallacies of corporate journalism.
Ask certain NGOs and governments for takes, reoeat them uncritically or have some criticise others. Easy way to create or support a nonsense narrative.
A ton of countries send delegations to Venezuela to monitor elections and they always report boring results or are vague (from oppositional countries).
The AP is happy to reprint nonsense, especially if it is coming from a government or NGO.
What was the insult? The description of your behavior? Ponder that for a few seconds.
You have been blatantly inconsistent twice and trying to run little circles in bad faith isn’t going to change that. Please get rid of your Reddit brain where you’d rather die than acknowledge an error.
And now you’ve flip flopped back to the first claim lmai
It is worth noting that the ones who chose to return had the unfortunate circumstance of not having transferable skills and ended up working low paying jobs compared to what they had at home. Most of the people who had transferable skills have good paying jobs and are living comfortably.
Yup, I am not claiming it is the root issue, just that I think it’s one of the reasons for their struggles, based on the examples given by the article, and because I can relate.
You initially attributed all of it to not having transferable skills lol.
Instead of changing up your story, you could just admit you’re projecting.
It was Big Pencil all along
An invasion of Lebanon risks direct Iranian involvement. Not sure if they’re trying to call a bluff or if they actually want that.
apt is good for most things.
Flatpak is good for applications where you want the people who write the software to be creating the releases and for closed source apps that you want to isolate a bit from your system.
For example, on a new system you might install everything using apt except for Zoom. Zoom isn’t in the Debian repos, it’s closed source and proprietary. But you can get the official Zoom application using flathub. Zoom will also be fairly isolated from the rest of your system so it has less access to your files and can be removed more cleanly later on if needed.
It’s realistic if security is a priority.
Per the article, “divisive” here just means that the US, sponsored of the aforementioned genocide, does its usual complaining about its critics.
