Wow. What did Seinfeld do to you?

NIN is the blue ring. 😆

Not necessarily. Rsync deltas are very efficient, and not everything supports deltas.

It may very well be the correct tool for the job.

Anyway, problem fit wasn’t part of the question.

The daemon tracks file state, so the transfers start quicker because rsync doesn’t have to scan the filesystem.

Isolating the US and breaking US hegemony. Trump is a Putin puppet, and what’s best for Russia is crippling the US economically and diplomatically. Alienating the EU cuts off the EU from the US who would otherwise help the Europeans against the Russians as they try to reclaim their former territories.

This also helps China who is trying to replace the US as the world superpower. BRICS is doing a good job of creating a competing economic alliance, and the US falling apart helps make it more attractive.

Not a conservative, by the way. Just someone who follows the news.

Project 1: Install Gentoo on it. 🙂 Project 2: Keep Gentoo installed on it.

I’ll start. Go home white people! Go back to where you came from!

Lots of code repos. Especially repos for programming languages, compilers, and Git.

Sharpie.

Where are those two in the picture? Or are they taking the picture? 🤔

This would be great news if it would happen, and especially if it brings back allowing the engine to be embedded.

Postgres is better, but embedded Postgres isn’t something that’s going to happen.

How hard is clevis to setup?

I’ve seen it referenced for encrypted servers, but I haven’t tried setting it up.

Unencrypted boot is unfortunate. What are PCR registers?

I do encrypt my drives, and it’s not as transparent in Linux as it is in the others. I’m sure I could get a TPM setup for seamless boots, but I haven’t done that yet.

For mobile drivers, I still encrypt, but that locks them to one OS since LUKS isn’t cross platform. There is VeraCrypt for cross-platform encryption, but that’s one more thing to manage and install.

Linux, and macOS, enables write caching by default and Windows does not. This is what you’re seeing.

Mounting the drive with “noatime,flush” (preferred) would adjust the write caching and mounting with “sync,dirsync” would turn off write caching.

Random peripherals get tested against windows a lot more than Linux, and there are quirks which get worked around.

I would suggest an external SSD for any drive over 32GB. Flash drives are kind of junk in general, and the external SSDs have better controllers and thermals.

Out of curiosity, was the drive reformatted between runs, and was a Linux native FS tried on the flash drive?

The Linux native FS doesn’t help migrate the files between Windows and Linux, but it would be interesting to see exFAT or NTFS vs XFS/ext4/F2FS.

Did the USB drive get excessively warm during this because it looks like the drive is throttling?

Incidentally, this is why I switched to using external SSDs. A group of 128GB flash drives I had would slowly fall over when I would write 100GB off files to it.

I need to run immutable distros more, and I need to figure out how to roll my own images.

Desktop side, I need certain things in the base image rather than adding more layers or using a container. Things like rsync, nvim, git, curl, lynx, etc.

Would immutable distros help reach more desktop audiences? Perhaps. It’s more about applications though. The biggest help has been electron apps and the migration to web apps. The Steam Deck is successful because it has applications people want.

Server side, they look really promising for bare metal servers. Provided, there is an easy way to compile custom images. Being able to easily rollback to a known good image is very enticing, as you point out.

Yeah, Hannah wouldn’t be bad. If that’s the worst thing about her, she would be okay.

Distrobox/Podman support would be nice.

There are custom commands, but built in support with a menu would be nice.

I don’t have a reason to move away from the Fedora defaults except for monospaced fonts.

Terminal wise, terminus is my default. It’s so clean, and it looks good without anti-aliasing.

Roboto Mono is my current preference for monospaced fonts.

Adobe Source Code Pro and JetBrains Mono are good alternatives as well.
