Block people that make you uncomfortable or are jerks, they aren’t worth your time.

Nia_The_Cat,

I’ve been using clients for years without ban but you’re absolutely right that it does risk TOS, my day of ban could very well be tomorrow.

The only other way I can think of is using OBS to livestream to an unlisted YouTube stream and share the link to those you want to watch, no one else can access it without the link. I’m not sure how bad the latency or delay is on this, but I think you can tweak some things to make it more low latency

Edit: realized matrix via element screen sharing doesn’t have audio sharing either so I removed it

Really wish they wouldn’t have clickbaited the title

I used to use clamtk occasionally when I was first getting into linux, nice little gui that made clam way simpler to use for me at the time, when I misunderstood what clamav was meant for (email scanning on gateways, not traditional antivirus)

I tried to give Windows 11 another go recently just to see how it is, I pulled all my files over including my gog games files which had wineprefixes in the folders, with /appdata folders for each prefix.

Windows decided “you know what, screw c:\users\appdata, lets use the appdata folder in this random gamefolder on a different drive instead” and proceeded to cannibalize itself just breaking the majority of apps. No idea how it can’t recognize that the random wine “windows” files that aren’t in the correct locations aren’t the actual location for them. Couldn’t fix it because it thought the “c:” folder in the wine directory was my actual c: drive and refused to delete it

Sure it was an extremely niche issue a Windows user would never realistically run into, but it reminded me just how fragile it is for uncommon usecases

What to include in a backup? (Ubuntu)

Hi! A friend just recommended the backup tool that comes with Ubuntu. I took a look at it and was wondering what you guys include and exclude from the backups. I just installed wire guard VPN and but the config file in the etc/wireguard folder, where it belongs. I would have to include this folder as well if I want to keep my...

I back up the entirety of my /home directory except for cache, temp, trash (trash is stored at /home/$user/.local/share/Trash), Download folder, and a folder I named “NOBACKUP”.

It backs up a lot of stuff I probably don’t need, but I’d rather back up more than I need, than to be caught not backing up something that I did need.

edit: oh, I have a btrfs snapshot of /root too, but I don’t think that’s something the backup tool in Ubuntu can do since it defaults to ext4

Nia_The_Cat, (edited )

That’s a good point, I use my /home backup via borgbackup which I keep for a bit longer (store 7 days + last 2 weekly before it prunes them), and my /root btrfs snapshots were set to be kept for 7 days just out of habit. I’ll probably dial it back to 2-3 days instead. I do intend them as just rollbacks rather than actual backups but I tend to be too overly cautious for my own good sometimes

I like to keep a few more than the last day of snapshots as a minimum in case there was something silently breaking my system that I didn’t notice for a few days and is too advanced for me to fix normally
