Hrm, this is maybe more of a post for !trippinthroughtime. As far as I can tell, this community is for really old and stale meme formats. I would argue that anything containing Wojacks hasn’t reached that level of staleness yet.

That was a very informative and interesting read. Thank you for sharing!

That’s a loaded question.

I agree with the general sentiment, but I don’t believe that it’s right to wish harm upon them.

However i do backup my system regularly too!

What form do your backups take? For my desktop, I run Pika Backup every hour on my home directory.

cbonsai is awesome. Whenever I open a new shell, I have it configured to first run cbonsai so that a bonsai tree is the first thing that I see when I open a terminal.

I have a script that runs when I start my graphical environment that checks for updates and sends a notification if there are updates.

Would you mind sharing that script?

I use a script that shows new Arch news messages, updates the mirrorlist with the fastest mirrors in my country, updates repo packages, updates aur packages, then prints created .pacnew and .pacsave files as well as orphaned and dropped packages.

Would you mind sharing that script?

I’ll check ouy pika.

Timeshift and Pika are similar — both are deduplicating backup solutions; Timeshift uses Rsync, and Pika uses Borg.

[…] and also do weekly clonezilla images.

I currently don’t have any system in place to create system images. It’s defintiely something I should look into, though. It would be nice to have a full restore point.

How many images do you keep at a time? Just one? Images can take up a huge amount of space, so I would imagine that having mulitple saved at a time is rather expensive.

Edit 2024-03-31T02:36Z:

Timeshift and Pika are similar — both are deduplicating backup solutions; Timeshift uses Rsync, and Pika uses Borg.

I looked into Timeshift a bit more to double check my statement, and it looks like timeshift does have a snapshot option that uses BTRFS.

I’m on Guix

Do you mean that you are runnign the GNU Guix distro, or that you are using the Guix package manager on Arch?

This is so cool! Very clever solution to this issue. Thank you for sharing! 😊 An interesting thing that I ran into when testing it was regarding the difference between [pacman|yay|paru] -Qu and checkupdates: checkupdates showed that an update was available, but the -Qu option did not reveal the update. It wasn’t until I synced the database with -Sy that -Qu started showing the updates.

Update (2024-03-31T03:20Z): Ah, it looks like checkupdates essentially is just running pacman -Sy and pacman -Qu.

The first thing that came to my mind was “Long, Long, Long” by the Beatles [Spotify] [YouTube] [Tidal].

Canada currently has assisted dying (referred to as MAID — Medical Assistance In Dying). The issue that I see with it, in Canada, is that it is a conflict of interest; Canada has public healthcare, so all patients are seen as a net drain on the system. Because of this, It is in the government’s best interest to reduce the cost of healthcare by lessening the number of patients in hospitals. In my view, it is, therefore, in the Canadian government’s best interest to encourage assisted dying over treatment to the absolute limits of what is ethically or legally allowed.

I wasn’t making a claim regarding how easy or difficult it is to get MAID; I was only stating that it is a conflict of interest for a public healthcare system to provide it.
