    [lubuntu] Re: Why is my rdiff-backup script failing

    A few times I've heard of people behind a firewall which should have prevented any outside access, only to find that someone still got in. I expect that from people who like to play around with...

    [ubuntu] Re: Abour ripping music CD to mp3 files

    That is always a key consideration for me. Some Gnome tools also have huge lists of dependencies. If there's more than about 20, I usually say "no" and seek out some other solution. For packages...

    [all variants] Re: adding DNS?

    systemd-resolved is the tool used. There is a config file for it.

    If you don't like it, you can purge it, disable it, and do things the manual way. I do. For my needs, the /etc/resolv.conf has...

    Re: Intel or AMD best for Ubuntu?

    16400 - Core i5-1335U
    16400 - Ryzen 5 7530U

    So from a performance standpoint, they are so close to the same that it doesn't matter.

    Next, I'd look at price and the laptop vendor. I've been...

    [SOLVED] Re: Oh No not another RAID Post

    Let me check what I did, if I can find it in old backups from a year ago when I used mdadm. Well, I don't have backups from that system anymore and I took the HDDs out of it, so booting it won't do...

    [lubuntu] Re: Why is my rdiff-backup script failing

    If you are backing up using sudo on the source, then you need to be using root on the target system, or better, a root-equivalent userid. If not, you may get pure data, but you won't get owner,...

    [SOLVED] Re: Oh No not another RAID Post

    Avoid laptop HDDs for RAID use.

    I'd only use 2.5in HDDs in a RAID if they are SAS connected and enterprise class.

    On the laptop where I still have an HDD, the initial, shipped HDD was a 320G...

    Yep. I don't use mp3 files.

    They are inferior in quality to vorbis and I prefer patent-free codecs. q=6 is 192 kbps in the vorbis world. My ears cannot tell the difference between that and...

    [SOLVED] Re: Oh No not another RAID Post

    Don't let your RAID HDDs spin down. That's bad for data integrity.

    Also, if you use mdadm, I'd use LVM on the RAID device to gain some flexibility in storage allocations, then put the file...
