It's getting a little better now because they can just scan in what they wrote and OCR it
I like how they manage to shoehorn Old Norde into the map but ignored Russian and Polish.
I'm trying to plan a better backup solution for my home server. Right now I'm using Duplicati to back up my 3 external drives, but the backup is staying on-site and on the same kind of media as the original. So, what does your backup setup and workflow look like? Discs at a friend's house? Cloud backup at a commercial provider? Magnetic tape in an underground bunker?
Thank you, creating my own config file from scratch worked. Not sure if I'm remembering wrong. For some reason I thought in the past it was created with the install.
Yeah, I was trying to figure out why the install didn't create a config file or a log file. Can't do setup without the config.
Thank you. Removed the samba package and installed following the instructions. It still didn't create a config or a log file. I'll keep troubleshooting.
I'll appreciate it if you have a chance to check. I ran sudo apt update --fix-missing and didn't see anything.
I've installed Samba on my Debian 12 home server but can't get it to start. I ran:
``` sudo systemctl start smbd sudo systemctl status smbd
``` Here is the output:
Duration: 7h 25min 18.079s Condition: start condition failed at Fri 2025-02-14 17:13:11 EST; 14min ago Docs: man:smbd(8) man:samba(7) man:smb.conf(5) Process: 598599 ExecCondition=/usr/share/samba/is-configured smb (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) CPU: 1ms Feb 14 17:13:11 harvee systemd[1]: Starting smbd.service - Samba SMB Daemon...

The install also doesn't seem to have created a samba configuration directory in /etc or a log in /var/log
I'm stumped. Googling turns up a lot of people accidentally checking the status of 'samba' instead of 'smbd', but I'm not finding much on this issue. What am I doing wrong?
Yes but to keep it legit he has to be on a treadmill the whole time he's on the ferry /s

This is why I run naked, wrapped in cellophane
Exactly. Although I haven't worn mine to the sauna yet...that might be the next test. I put a small one in my backyard so I usually just grab a robe for the walk to it and back and a towel to sit on.
That's what I'm thinking. Although I'm fancy about my socks. I've switched to Injinji toe socks and don't ever want to go back, including their hiking ones.
What do you recommend and how much are they?
Bought a few $10 pairs of gym shorts from a big box store, probably an 8" inseam. I wear boxer brief style compression undies when I run, so netting and how they feel on my skin isn't really an issue. They have side pockets that are fine for carrying my key fob, which is the only thing I really need for most runs. On runs they seem completely adequate. What am I missing by not wearing more expensive or nicer shorts purpose made for running? Is it one of those things where if I try something nicer I won't be able to go back?
ACTIVE is the Ticketmaster of running. Change my mind.

For the moment they don't care about what the customer wants because their most important market is enterprise, not the customer. I'm not sure what would change that except hitting a critical mass of C-suite people who get fed up with it.
