I really like btop/bpytop too. Its more useful than glances imo.

1. lazydocker: terminal based docker management
2. ncdu: disk usage analyzer
3. nmtui: terminal based network management
4. browsh: terminal based web browser with headless Firefox backend

One other thing I didn’t mention is it depends on the backup tool you use. Not all of them are filesystem aware. What that means is if you have hardlinks present those will not be preserved.

That can be important to remember as it will bork things down the road with the restoring. If you aren’t familiar with linking: Hard links point to actual data (think of it like a pointer in C). Soft links (symbolic) point to file path.

Have any other distros been tried on this box and do the same issues present with them? I think the recommended PSU combined with an RX580 is 600W, so you might try swapping PSUs. Another option if you don’t have a spare to test with is to undervolt the GPU. If it stabilizes at that point, it would suggest the PSU needs replacement. At least that way you wouldn’t be dropping money on a hunch.

Another good indicator of that being GPU/PSU issues is the fact you mention not being able to get past the login screen. Both X11 and Wayland (especially Wayland) crank up the VRAM usage at that point due to compositors caching and whatnot

For me, I tend to focus on specific directories I know I’d need data from (or that will just be a hassle to rewrite config for). I have a scripts folder that gets backed up, Books, .mozilla, etc. A lot of things I just know I won’t need like .cache. That folder is 7GB and mostly just the cache from yay needing to be cleared out.

I don’t backup my entire home directory because I’m worried ACLs may change or other little issues that will take more time than its worth to correct. That said, you could. You worried about something like that, you could pull the existing ACLs: find ~/ -type f -exec getfacl --absolute-names {} + > home_acls_backup.txt and then restore them: setfacl --restore=home_acls_backup.txt

I haven’t really used KDE much, but I know it has a theme data in .local/share that you’d want (and probably the .cache folder as well). GNOME keeps theme data in .themes, .icons, .fonts. They might just be defaults, but if you have anything custom, you’d want those folders too.

For Arch you run pacman -Qe which lists all installed packages that were not installed as a dependency. I output that to a location via golang script which is monitored by the pCloud client for automatic backup along with a lot of other configs from $HOME/.config. I then have a systemd service that fires the script and a timer to kick off that service periodically.

I’m not going to discount Murdock Family Trust just because it makes you feel bad.
As for exports, here you go. Feel free to try and deny it, seems like something you’re used to doing.

Murdoch’s media empire spans multiple countries, with strong conservative influence in: United States: Fox News, Fox Business, New York Post (via Fox Corporation) United Kingdom: The Sun, The Times, The Sunday Times (via News UK)

Across these regions, Murdoch’s companies control: 120+ newspapers across five countries Multiple TV networks and digital platforms with conservative leanings

Murdoch’s outlets dominate: UK: ~25% of print circulation and large digital reach US: Fox News is the defacto and most-watched cable news channel in the country

I’m sorry if that makes you feel all bad inside, but fix your shit.

Australia has been definitively proven to be the biggest TERF exporter now and you can’t even contest it. You should do something about that, geez.

Oh, and the Murdoch Family Trust owns 40% of the Fox Corporation (which owns the US based Fox News). So really your argument is the same that a heroin addict might have: “If you discount my heroin addiction, I’m doing great!”

So, these games failed because they did not have:

1. Funding/sustainability
2. Reaching critical number of players
3. Content creation/marketing

And you can bring them back if you can just get:

1. Funding/sustainability
2. Reaching critical number of players
3. Content creation/marketing

This feels like tautological reasoning. Like “X would be true, if X were true”.

Threat models differ. More hops can, from direct personal experience, make the difference in tracking

Evidence, or it isn’t true.

Ok, so you are exporting garbage. Good to know.

I’m sorry, that isn’t evidence.

I’m sorry, but that isn’t evidence.

Multiple times now you’ve accused people of being American for saying that Australia outputs some garbage right wing stuff. Aside from the vampire fuck Rupert Murdoch himself, here is a list:

1. Sky News Australia (especially through YT and social media)
2. GB News (based on Australian right-wing media)
3. News Corp Australia
4. The Daily Telegraph
5. The Australian
6. Andrew Hastie
7. 7News (this is arguably one of the worst as they sprinkle facts into their narrative to cloudy the waters)
8. Herald Sun
9. The Spectator Australia
10. Quadrant Magazine

All of these media sources and publications output to the rest of the world. It doesn’t matter about “well the UK has more. well the US has more”. Australia is exporting fucking garbage. This isn’t a race to bottom.

You’re trying to argue without evidence (like I had provided). To summarize these exchange so far its:

1. You giving some marketing crap you read from a VPN provider site on their multi-hop service.
2. Someone pointing out that it is incorrect with evidence.
3. You get mad and basically come back with “Nuh-uh!”

Is there some evidence you’d like to provide or is it going to be another “nuh-uh!”?

What specifically about multi-hop makes you think it improves your security? Be specific. What is your “direct personal experience”?

You almost had the rest of the sentence there:

one that isn’t really used anyway given SSAI is so popular
