Yep. Bear in mind that if you rsync to a remote computer, it will encrypt the traffic and it will be slow, encryption can be disabled but I don’t remember how right now.
Rsyncing to a local drive should be faster. With -P you can resume partial file transfers, should it be interrupted.
Empty the trash folder and delete cache, it will save you a lot of time and disk space.
-1. Backup your home directory with
rsync -Paz /home/username destination, this will keep modified dates and copy dotfiles. No asterisks at the end of the path. Restore with the opposite command0. If your
/homedirectory is on a separate partition, you could try preserving it for the new installation, this will keep all your stuff in place.1. When I did this, Nextcloud had no problem identifying files correctly, just make sure to not alter file dates
2. User applications should save their configs in your home directory, so the above should keep them safe, but explore each specific app’s behavior.
3. Cinnamon is kinda like KDE in philosophy but based on GTK instead of Qt. It’s not bad, but KDE is so good these days that it’s hard to compete.
4. Idk, I haven’t used Arch in like a decade, but IMHO you’re currently on the best distro available when it comes to reliability and compatibility, so I guess you could expect less of those. If you have secure boot I think you’ll have to jump through a few hoops that Fedora had spared you… you may want to disable it temporarily.
5. If you have multiple disks with the same capacity, disconnect them all except the one you want to install your OS to.
11·3 days agoI used to hang out at the record store when I was a young person… Nowadays I’m old and don’t have the same patience.
At this point I must cancel my Spotify subscription. Any suggestion on how to implement a somewhat automated music discovery system that can replace Spotify’s “radios” and playlists?
I already run a Navidrome instance.

An animal just needs to survive. Would you have been able to survive in nature with your condition, but not in society? Then it’s society’s fault.

This dude for president!
Can you imagine what he could do? I mean, if he could focus on the President thing and not use his time in office to take apart washing machines and heat pumps.
Tbh I thought it would be more
Ok, that’s fucking genius
My often used apps are numerous, and there are a few that are not often used but by their nature need to be opened quickly when necessary (such as the camera or qr scanner)… Plus I like to have a monthly calendar and clock on my home screen, those take up quite some space.
That’s what I’ve been using, but I still prefer Nova’s ability to create folders, I could open most apps I needed in an instant by sliding to the correct screen, opening the folder and tapping the app. With Kvaesitso even with categories and such it’s much more of a hassle, the fastest way is typing the first letters of the name, not the same.
I’ve done this but staying roughly in the same field while changing roles. So it looks like I had a career!
That’s what I do for my friends. But finding out where wires go sucks.
That’s what my house does. If I kill the internet, automations still work, as well as the interface via LAN (I’ve got hairpin NAT set up to make this easier than having 2 addresses in the app), if I kill Home Assistant, all devices still function manually.
I favor ZigBee to WiFi smart devices, although the polluted spectrum in my area gives me some headaches. With WiFi devices when possible I buy premade stuff (so that it’s CE compliant), and flash ESPHome on them, or similar.
That tweet is obsolete since Home Assistant and ESPHome have become usable
With Esphome I made a gate opener (soldered a wireless remote to a relay module and the module to an esp32), a thermostat (screen, encoder wheel, dht-22, etc), a pc power button remote… and like 8 other projects that I never finished!
