Docker Backup Stratagy
  • I wouldn't backup the volumes directly. Better to use the mount points as you suggest then back up those mounted directories. If it's a database that usually needs to have its records exported into a backup friendly format. Typically I will do a db dump from a cron job in the host system to summon a script inside a container which writes to a mounted dir which is the thing that I back up.

  • Cloud storage solutions with Linux
  • Jottacloud is pretty good. They have a Linux CLI too

  • Up to Season 3 of *Just Shoot Me!* and could see far too much of myself in Nina in this scene. [Video]
  • What was the episode number where it turned out Dennis had a massive Wang?

  • Ubuntu Joins the Movement: X11 Officially Being Phased Out
  • Oh wow. I am suddenly less excited about our Wayland future.

  • Linux Users Switching Back to Linux
  • Yeah that seems about right. Bunch of things that I wish were better but I am not going back. When I absolutely must there's a VM for that.

  • itter.sh - Social Media via SSH
  • As someone who missed out on BBS I find this genuinely tempting

  • Mafia: The Old Country - “Loyalty is Everything” Story Trailer
  • It was completely broken at launch. Not like funny jank, like crash to desktop and wait for the devs to finish the unfinished game.

    But in the year where no mans sky released I can understand if its hard to recall mafia3

  • Atomic Heart 2 TBA on Steam
  • I got half way through AH1 and just couldn't anymore. Combat was just insufferable and the dialogue was a slog too.

  • Mafia: The Old Country - “Loyalty is Everything” Story Trailer
  • Looks cool. After the shitshow that was mafia3 I'll be waiting to see if they actually finish the game before selling it this time around.

  • Assembled a new bed today
  • That's awesome - well done.

  • Peersuite is an opensource alternative to slack/discord
  • This is a cool idea. We're not super happy with slack at work but I admit we haven't given matrix a proper go yet. Wish we could stop for like a year just to evaluate the stack and the toolset. I kid. Sort of.

  • Really fuckin' knowledgeable
  • He's interested in things

  • Perhaps people back in 1975 were too confused by this album cover to be offended...
  • Glad to see theyknew content getting more popular on lemmy

  • Advice for time traveling to medieval Europe
  • Saw this a while back - good fun, and a clever way to frame a history lesson.

  • Special Pleading
  • Yeah I think I am doing the Stockholm syndrome thing too. But as the futo keyboard chap said: is the software you use serving your needs or the needs of the creators?

    Some things are indeed more difficult. But if it's a simple Python script even I can make a PR to help out. And the feeling of using software that isn't designed to send my data back to a megacorp is fucking awesome. So I'm in, I think?

  • TIL an antigram is an anagram that means its opposite.
  • So like "mother in law" and "woman Hitler"?

  • No one suspects a thing
  • I switched to Linux (not arch btw) around the same time as joining Lemmy. And I've still not seen any trek apart from a couple of the movies, which I quite liked. We're contemplating starting at the very start

  • Which program is the one that surprised you most that it is available on Linux?
  • Probably ComicTagger https://github.com/comictagger/comictagger

    I had been holding onto ComicRack for years and really loved it for scraping and generating tags before adding to Komga. I was a happy camper when i found ComicTagger.

  • SSH managers on Linux?

    Curious what folks are using to organise their remote connections? I liked WinSSHTerm and have tried replacing it with Remote Desktop Manager, but it seems a bit broken (fonts look terrible in a terminal, sftp doesn't work, RDP sort of works, but it's not great).

    RDP is not a must. Folders, ssh, key auth, sftp and scp are the main things I'm looking for. Currently considering Remmina but though I would check if ppl have strong views on this topic before trying the next app.

    I'm using cinnamon with mint 22.

    When Wayland?

    I've been keeping an eye on the github and the board and it doesn't seem to be moving that much. We're nearly halfway through 2025 and I thought the plan was for Wayland to be supported on cinnamon early 2026.

    Wondered if anyone had any more insight into progress/blockers/delays

    Making shredded chicken in the instant pot was surprisingly easy

    I just opened a pack of chicken breast, seasoned with salt and pepper, put water a stock cube and a chunk of ginger in the instant pot, put the chicken on the rack, and pressure cooked for 25 mins. When done I removed most of the liquid and shredded the chicken right in the pot with a blunt mixer. About as much effort as making a sandwich and now I have frozen portions of shredded chicken ready to add to soup/salad/sandwiches.

    X Files S03E20 in 1996 was amazing
    filmschoolrejects.com The Only ‘Men In Black’ Sequel You Need is an Episode of ‘The X-Files’

    ‘Jose Chung's From Outer Space‘ is not just a highlight from the sci-fi series, but a perfect follow-up to the Barry Sonnenfeld film.

    The Only ‘Men In Black’ Sequel You Need is an Episode of ‘The X-Files’

    We're going through this show again, for the first time for us since it was aired. And this episode (Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space') was a real stand out. Haven't laughed this hard in a long time.
