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...
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...
They typical users of Linux systems has changed drastically over this time. In 2005, it was mostly tech-nerds, willing and wanting to learn everything. These days, it is people asking "what do I...
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...
https://lpi.jdpfu.com/2023-Backups/2023-Backup-How-To.html is how I recommend doing things for local backups. Sorry, I didn't do a presentation about push or pull backups. It was for an audience...
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...
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...
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,...
I get confused all the time, like at the bottom of the stairs, trying to remember why I walked down them.
cat? How about less? Something useful. cat is pretty useless 99% of the time. Wish the...
BTW, your tac abuse is pretty high. Aiming to confuse me?
pc camera usually doesn't mean what you think. I would search for "IP camera" and be 100% certain to look for compatible Linux software like ZoneMinder in their marketing materials, unless you plan...
Taking what someone else has mastered is the sign of wisdom. I don't remember if I created it or you did, but either way - -thank you or you're welcome! ;) I steal lots of other smart people's...
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...
I have a cheap Chinese 1080 wifi videocam. Got it to find the type of critters in the attic. Turned out that was just a 1-time visitor, looking around. Mostly, it was squirrels. As I said, it only...
Perhaps if you posted the exact models for each camera, someone could help search for the information you need? "camera" is pretty generic. Is it a PnS, a DSLR, mirrorless, doorbell, security,...
+1 ! If it were me and there wasn't a trivial way to do it, I'd have ensured I had excellent backups for the data, then wiped the array and started over with a fresh mdadm create to the size I...
ssds are faster when reading and writing files. Whether that matters or not is a judgement. I avoid using my SSDs for data processing like this to keep the temporary writes to a minimum, extending...
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...
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...
sudo lsof | egrep -i test
is what I'd use. Just tested it. Looks like lsof has gotten really slow. Took about 60 seconds before any useful output even started. I'm guessing there's a timeout...
320 Kbit/second is nothing. If you don't have ISDN or dialup, then your internet is 10x, or more, fast enough. Wifi from 2000 was fast enough to support that speed, so if you aren't getting it,...
1) Try it. What does it do?
2) explainshell.com - check it out. It will help greatly.
YMMV. That means it works for my needs, but may not work for yours. I think it is close to what you want,...
I use this:
#!/bin/bash
abcde -a cddb,read,encode,tag,move,clean -d /dev/cdrom \
-j 4 -o flac,vorbis:"-q 6" -V -x
YMMV.
I've done that a few times. 100% by accident and before I had backups that weren't so much hassle that I'd actually do them. ;) BTW, backups were a huge hassle for me for about 10 yrs, even when I...
Coincidences happen. It takes very little to rule them out.
Timeouts could just be a DNS issue. Do these things, in order: https://blog.jdpfu.com/2013/03/01/linux-troubleshooting-101-networking ...
