Using #clonezilla to clone one 8TB HDD to another with a btrfs file system. It has been sitting at "Calculating bitmap... Please wait..." for a long time.
I tried out #keepassxc today. It's in the debian repositories so fast installation and easy to use, guided setup process.
Should have tried it years ago.
A side benefit is being able to record all my logins and important information in one file (the keepassxc database file), back it up, and then share it with my loved ones with the unlock password given to them stored in a safe place.
If something happens to me, they'll be able to access my accounts.
As I juggle both a Linux and FreeBSD server - is there a real good reason to pick one shell vs others? They naively seem similarly capable, and it's more a matter of just picking one with good tutorials and running with it? I'm hardly a shell-scripting wizzard. #freebsd#linux
For business reasons, I think I am stuck with figuring out a solution for traditional #email.
I share your sentiments about having and using viable replacements.
#xmpp seems like it has so much promise, but there's doesn't seem to be much movement toward it. We self-host a #prosody xmpp server, so have some experience with it, but not a lot.
I'm running out of time. If I don't have a job in 6 weeks, I am truly fucked. I'm applying to everything I can find that I'm remotely qualified for, and mostly hearing crickets or "fuck you, we aren't moving forward." I've had two entire interviews since September 8. If you're somewhere that needs a REMOTE (willing to travel to client sites) security analyst/pentester/threat researcher at a senior (or even mid) level and you haven't already posted the position on job sites, please let me know. I am very good at what I do, I just need someone to give me a chance to do it.
"Backups can feel like a chore, but they’re actually very empowering. Beyond the peace of mind knowing that you’re much less likely to lose data, you’re also in a better position to make changes."
Due to a slow and failing hard drive, I did a lot of work on her computer today, upgrading to an SSD. Much faster now. Fixed login issues by switching to a local login instead of a Microsoft login... you may know where this is going.
Got the computer back to her. Checking it over with her.
"Where's my calendar that I keep my entire life in?"
Months back I had helped her migrate her calendar to Thunderbird so it wouldn't be in a Microsoft product and would be easy to back up. Unbeknownst to me, she didn't keep using Thunderbird but went back to Outlook because #ChangeIsHard ... Change Is Hard.
Turns out that there were multiple Microsoft Accounts associated with her Outlook 365. When I switched to a local login to fix a login issue, it disconnect all of them. The account where we think the calendar data is stored, she doesn't know the password. Account recovery is not working.
Right now I don't want to work on computers with Microsoft products on. At all. Of course, not realistic, as the majority of my local customers use Windows.
Corporate design may look good and provides standardization that moves forwards the goals of the large organization and brings conformity to those it subjects.
Corporate design does not further the goals of the individual and it is not representative of organic systems that arise out of freedom.
... but the makers of the film may not have been consciously aware of that. Or were they?
I'm upgrading an HP EliteBook 745 G6 laptop for a customer who is purchasing it from me.
I took out the 512GB SSD and replaced it with a 1TB nvme SSD. Took out the two 8GB memory modules and replaced them with two 16GB modules for 32GB. Of that, the AMD GPU reserves 2GB and has shared memory of 15GB. So the GPU has plenty of memory available to it for a little laptop.
The processor is a Ryzen 7 Pro 3700U
I've been selling more of these HP EliteBook laptops with Ryzen processors. I hope to put one to more testing, but selling them almost as fast as I get them in.
I think an ideal model for me to test is the 13 inch version of this model, the EliteBook 735 G6, as I think the 13 inch size is ideal for how I use a laptop (currently using a ThinkPad T470s and the 14 inch screen is just a bit too large for comfort with how I carry a laptop around).
Holy crap! I just realized I passed the 1k follower mark. I think this (in the least) calls for another #Introduction:
I'm a Linux and BSD aficionado who advocates for computer freedom. I post and boost things related to Privacy, Security and the empowerement of #oldcomputers through #FreeSoftware.
