CaptDust , to Selfhosted in Tools and ideas for backup of many files

I use rsync with a systemd timer. When I first installed the backup drive it took a while to build the file system, but now every Monday it runs, finds the difference between source and target drive, and pulls just the changes down for backup. It's pretty quick, doesn't do any compression or anything like that.

CaptDust , to Witchy Memes in Walking down the street - Art by Smitz

First picture is giving me young I-No vibes, before she got corrupted.

CaptDust , to NonCredibleDefense in The US can't keep getting away with this! (they can)

You might have them confused with Chiquita

CaptDust , to Marvel Studios in Taylor Swift is NOT in 'Deadpool and Wolverine' (exclusive)

She's actually the only reason I was going to see it, if Taylor is out - I'm out too. Bad move Disney.

CaptDust , to A Boring Dystopia in The Curious Case Of The Underselling Arena Tours

It seems silly to believe every artist with a label can go on an arena tour. In my city arena shows used to be reserved for the biggest of the big. Now no touring bands will play smaller venues and simultaneously perplexed why fans won't show up at $200 a seat. Meanwhile the medium venues are either hosting the same local bands repeatedly, or closing.

What a conundrum.

CaptDust , to Atlanta News in The Cash App Dream is Becoming a Nightmare for Black Consumers

I've read this article 3 times now trying to understand why the headline is written like it is. They had a system glitch that double charged instant transfers and are working on correcting the problem. Inconvenient, sure, but calling it a nightmare?? Why specifically "black customers"?

I guess well done editor, your sensationalized headline got me to stick around the page for an extra couple minutes while I tried to understand the context, and all it cost was the journalist integrity of one of America's historic newspapers.

CaptDust , to politics in America’s Top 100 donors heavily favor Trump and the Republicans

Why are PACs still a thing

CaptDust , to RetroGaming in Anyone notice the PS1 and Dreamcast are designed similarly in a way?

But PS1 and PSX are both retail product names for different systems, I don't see calling the Wii "Revolution"..

CaptDust , to RetroGaming in Anyone notice the PS1 and Dreamcast are designed similarly in a way?

It's a PS1, the redesign was PSOne. PSX was a PS2+DVR.

CaptDust , to News in Two arrested, including 71-year-old man, for allegedly stealing almost 3,000 boxes of LEGOs

I'm not going to disagree they're overpriced, especially the bigger collector sets, but they are built to insanely perfect tolerances and that's never cheap. Use any generic blocks and it's easy to see Lego manufacturing is on another level. In addition I've built countless sets and despite thousands of tiny pieces I've only had one piece missing, once. And customer support sent out that piece immediately, no questions asked.

I believe much of the cost comes from the standards they hold themselves to.

CaptDust , to The Agora in [Discussion] Let's talk about lemmy.ml

Just chiming in to say a lot of communities I participate in are hosted on ml, I'd be pretty bummed losing access to those. For that reason I'm against wholesale defederarion. I do think the communities need to explicitly diversify away from the instance though, ml admins seem demonstrably untrustworthy.

You sigh and delete the email. They send out the same message every month.

I mean people can develop and sell whatever product they want at the price they want. Usually I'd recommend voting with your wallet, but presumably this would be up to facility management to install these for a captive audience, who wouldn't have much choice in the matter.

I'm not going to hate the company for trying, but if you're a building admin using these instead of Oasis or Elkay fill stations you're a huge fucking asshole.
