Three of us are here at @linuxhotel discussing how we can add color support to /bin/true.

Yubikey 5C Nano are currently €65 at Yubico, PLUS 19% VAT (for me) and plus €10 p&h, plus VAT.

At BerryBase, the same is €67.90 incl. VAT, and if you add another (or €12 for something else), shipping is included.

I'm considering getting a pair for each nephew/niece; I feel I should teach them how to protect data.

Since all the search engines have gone to shit, I'll resort to the old-fashioned way of finding information: Asking people.

So, what's the easiest, most foolproof way to do encrypted offsite on ?

I have a few TB at Hetzner, and a few personal laptops that need automated backups.

The whole thing needs to be fairly foolproof to run (because at least one kid is going abroad for a few months with their laptop), and foolproof to set up up (because it's me setting it up)

@slothrop we've had very good experience with Borg Backup to Hetzner over SSH. Borg is very easy to get started with, can do pruning (as Restic can, but I prefer the former), and is pretty rock solid.

And the most important: backups are encrypted at rest.

@antondollmaier iirc, an AR costs roughly $1000; no idea how much handguns are: 1/2 that maybe.

Anyhow: ALOT of money.

Hab gerade mal am Wahlkampfstand der örtlichen CSU vorbei geschaut und gefragt, wie denn ihr Radverkehrskonzept für unsere Stadt aussieht.

„Wir müssen ein Gleichgewicht finden zwischen Radverkehr und Individualverkehr.“

„Also, auf meinem Rad sitzt immer nur einer drauf. Das ist auch Individualverkehr.“

TL;DR du kannst kein Gleichgewicht halten beim Radfahren? Ist aber blöd oder?

@ascherbaum sehe ich auch so: Reflex.

Aber ich wundere mich seit Jahren dennoch, dass im Abstand von nur wenige Sekunden meine Bemerkung nicht registriert wird.

Menschlich, vermute ich.

Sometimes I check a program's man page to see if there's support for doing X, and then I stumble across being able to do Y, something I've wanted for ages.

Today, in `man ag':

ag --pager 'less -R' ...

which keeps coloring, whereas

ag ... | less

obviously doesn't.

@asmodai indeed, but I'm queezy with $PAGER contrary to $EDITOR, but can't rightly say why. :)

Kudos to a piece of software which, over the course of the many years I've been using it, has kept a completely consistent user interface and experience without mucking with colors, new forms of display, changed layouts, and whatnot.

I also wish to favorably mention the code appears to require very few updates and, if they are performed, it has been an absolute transparent experience!

My vote goes to: pwd(1)
