  • Same — rsync to a pi 3 with a (single) ZFS drive at family’s house. Retain some daily/weekly/monthly snapshots.

    I have a (free) VPS with static IPv4 which is how I connect everything.

    Both the VPS and the remote site have limited network speed (I think 50Mbps for VPS), so the initial sync was done sneakernet (well…“airplane net”). Nightly rsync is no problem bandwidth-wise, and is mostly just any new videos I’ve uploaded to my local Immich instance.


  • It is “backwards” from some other commands — usually you run copy/rsync/link from source to destination, but with tar the destination (tarball) is specified before the source (directory/files).

    That, and the flags not needing dashes always just throws me for a loop.

    And the icing on the cake is that I don’t use tar for tarring that often, so I lose all muscle memory (untaring a tgz or tar.bz2 is frequent enough that I can usually get that right at least…).











  • I could be wrong, but I think this could be due to how the states’ suit is worded? As in, I think it’s worded as, “you can’t do that in our state,” and not, “you can’t do that full stop.”

    From another site:

    Attorneys general from 18 other states also sued over the order in federal court in Massachusetts.

    Brown [AG filing the suit] noted his lawsuit is similar, but said he felt Washington should lead a separate case because of “specific and unique harms that are brought here.” He also said that “we have a very good set of judges in our bench here in Washington, so I feel like this is the right place.”

    (My emphasis.)

    So, a good first step, and while this should be struck down in its entirety, my reading is that this was a lawsuit with limited scope, and the injunction matches the limited scope.




  • So what is an easy to use or no think thing I could use a pi 5 for?

    It sounds like you really want something that works “out of the box,” in which case, I would look for projects that have disk images available.

    This severely restricts what you can do with it, and as others have mentioned, is a bit antithetical to the Pi’s original purpose as a tinkering machine. But you may find something you like.

    The most basic would be to just use it as a desktop replacement.
