Yes it’s paid, but the quality is worlds above Bing, DDG, or Google. The best description I can make is that it’s what Google Search was about 15 years ago, back when there were no AI results, no ads, no artificially promoted results, and you could vote on results and block domains from appearing in your searches. Back when Google Search was actually good.

So it doesn’t do anything new or groundbreaking, it’s just what a search engine is supposed to be, in a time when every other option has abandoned that goal in the endless search for more revenue.

One of these days the police will catch one of those elusive drag queens who are corrupting and raping all of those kids…

It’s because they exclusively get their news from places that refuse to report on those things. Then when they do hear about them, they dismiss it as fake news because if it was true then surely their super awesome news source would have told them about it.

While true, and I have a lot of DRM-free music that I’ve bought from Apple, the difference is that getting music purchased from Apple onto your computer in a usable format is a bit of a pain, and it’s all lossy. Music from Qobuz can be downloaded directly from their site after purchasing, in lossless FLAC format, and many of their albums are available in high-res 24-bit and/or 96 kHz format as well.

What does farming have to do with anything? It was a paid endorsement, an infomercial run by the sitting President of the US. It's disgusting.

Elon is really unpopular right now and “regular” republicans feel like he and DOGE are attacking them.

Only those who have been personally harmed. The rest of them, and that's the vast majority, actually believe Elon is cleaning up the government and finding/eliminating corruption. I work with one, he's convinced everything DOGE has found and cut is corruption/fraud, the kids who are rooting through the Treasury are geniuses capable of finding things that no other administration has been able to (or been willing to?) find, and ultimately the Government is going to run more efficiently and taxes can be lower for regular people when it's all said and done. They're too deep in the rabbit hole to see the light.

Best luck I've had with laptops has been Razer, actually. They're gaming laptops, so a bit warm and loud and the battery life isn't great, but they're built like a brick, can be easily opened, all parts are easily replaceable/upgradeable, and since they generally use Intel everything, Linux compatibility is solid as well (except for RGB lighting and stuff, but with OpenRazer and Polychromatic even that usually works except for brand new models).

My last laptop was a Razer Blade 14 which ran great for like 6 years before I just got bored and decided I wanted to upgrade to a newer model with a better display. Over the 6 years I used it I upgraded the RAM, SSD, added a second SSD, upgraded the WiFi card, etc. It ran literally 24/7 during that entire time other than brief moments when I shut it down to throw in a backpack for travel, the only thing I had to replace for maintenance was the battery. I now have a Razer Blade 16 which has been great for the last year, zero issues, also running 24/7.

Before Razer I used Dell, Lenovo, HP, and Asus. None of them lasted more than 2-3 years before either the plastic crap holding it together fell apart, or the monitor, mouse, or keyboard failed, or I wanted/needed to upgrade something that was not user-replaceable (usually RAM or WiFi).

Would you mind if I added this as a discussion (crediting you and this post!) in the github project?

Yeah that would be fine

The measure of whether a system of government is good or bad is not "how long it lasts".

They didn't provide an rsync example until later in the post, the comment about not supporting differential backups is in reference to using rsync itself, which is incorrect, because rsync does support differential backups.

I agree with you that not doing differential backups is a problem, I'm simply commenting that this is not a drawback of using rsync, it's an implementation problem on the user's part. It would be like somebody saying "I like my Rav4, it's just problematic because I don't go to the grocery store with it" and someone else saying "that's a big drawback, the grocery store has a lot of important items and you need to be able to go to it". While true, it's based on a faulty premise, because of course a Rav4 can go to the grocery store like any other car, it's a non-issue to begin with. OP just needs to fix their backup script to start doing differential backups.

The issue is that the purpose of a union is to give power to the powerless, but police already have all the power. Their union makes them unstoppable.

My KVM hosts use “virsh backup begin” to make full backups nightly.

All machines, including the KVM hosts and laptops, use rsync with --link-dest to create daily incremental versioned backups on my main backup server.

The main backup server pushes client-side encrypted backups which include the latest daily snapshot for every system to rsync.net via Borg.

I also have 2 DASs with 2 22TB encrypted drives in each. One of these is plugged into the backup server while the other one sits powered off in a drawer in my desk at work. The main backup server pushes all backups to this DAS weekly and I swap the two DASs ~monthly so the one in my desk at work is never more than a month or so out of date.
