It’s in an AlphaSmart. I’m working through disassembling the ROM to add some new features.

I’ve been working on disassembling some 8-bit code from the 90s. Fuckers returned bits from functions using the overflow bit. Nuts.

Here’s the funkwhale page: https://docs.funkwhale.audio/administrator/upgrade/backup.html

Looks light a oversight on their part. Thanks for the advice.

I remember reading that copying a database while it’s in use is risky. Good to know pg_dump handles this correctly.

Man, how did you find that? I wasn’t getting anything on ddg.

Anywho, looks a little buggy (it doesn’t seem to deal with website credentials, so I’m not sure how it ever worked), but it’s got the bones to do what I want to do. Thanks for the link.

Edit: Fixed it! https://github.com/patchy-oss/fwdl/pull/1

How well does that work? I ask because I’m using the medium model which eats up 5 gigs of VRAM.

One thing to note that I just learned!

If you rsync over a network, you need to be careful. While you might sude rsync -a to maintain file ownership on the sending side, the receiving side will not be a superuser and therefore will be unable to make files owned by other users.

If you add "–rsync-path “sudo rsync” in the ssh version of the command, it’ll tell the receiving side to use sudo which will allow it to maintain file ownership when storing the files.

My favorite part of this game is that the developers had to write special code so that Mickey’s ears are always facing the camera as is canon in Disney animations.

My wife is playing through Dreamlight Valley and they used a static model and it’s depressing.

Rsync will compare the contents of the source directory with the target directory. If it finds a match, it won’t copy the files, if there’s no match, it copies.

If your goal is to have 1:1 copies, you can use the --delete flag to remove extraneous files in the target directory that aren’t in the source directory.

If you use the -a flag, it’ll maintain all of your permissions.

You can literally rsync a linux installation from one machine to another. While the source machine is running. Pretty nuts.

I got an external ORICO USB hard drive dock and two 3.5" hard drive cases (also by Orico). Every month or so, I plug them in and rsync files over. I’m lucky that one specific folder is about the size of one drive, so I just manually split them. There’s probably a better way to do that if you don’t have an obvious split.

Then the 3.5" drives in their colorful cases go into a fireproof safe in the basement. I also added another pair for semiannual backups that go to my inlaws.

I’ve been running plex for a few years no. No real issues to complain of.

Until today. I just upgraded my server with an Intel ARC. Was looking forward to enabling qsv for streaming. Turns out you need plex pass to do that.

Can jellyfin do it?

Migrating a 8 year old server to fresh new hardware. Can’t believe you can basically just rsync one computer to another

So I’m kind of on the fence about this. I ran a raid boot disk system like 12 years ago, and it was a total pain in the ass. Just getting it to boot after an update was a bit hit or miss.

Right now I’m leaning towards hardware nvme raid for the boot disk just to obfuscate that for Linux, but still treat it delicately and back up anything of importance nightly to a proper software raid and ultimately to another medium as well.

Wouldn’t this require the service to go down for a few minutes every night?

Doesn’t this just pass the issue to when the snapshot is made? If the snapshot is created mid-database update, won’t you have the same problem?

So are you thinking like a raspberry pi with an 18TB hard drive accepting nightly backups through restic?

Lucked out on eBay and got it for $50.

My new motherboard actually has a RAID controller for the M.2 slots. I know people frown on hardware raid, but given it’s the boot drive, it might just be easiest to count on it for daily operation and backup to the software RAID/something else every night.

I’ve heard that too. Hmm.

Up until recently, the server mostly hosted a photo library and media library that didn’t tend to change very often. So a hdd in a fireproof save updated once a year was enough for me.

I guess I’ll have to come up with a better solution. What would you recommend for automatic backups? I’m trying to avoid 3rd party services.

Picked up a LSI SAS 9305-16I. I was always planning to do software raid, so I think it’ll do the trick for zfs.
