Either they are afraid of losing jobs, or afraid of not having hot single moms in their area. Make a pick

Quite frankly, considering the daily routine of a lot of people, this is probably the best thing to do. REST! Nobody will do it for you

When are we going to riot to have the same button to enter bios setup everywhere? For me personally grinds my gears every time I have a different machine, check the bios boot message like a hawk to get what key I need to press to enter setup (after a while you sort of know by vendor, but for me that should not even be a thing)

Thanks for taking the time to explain. I was trying to get my head around on how this works but could not understand much of it. A lot of people here are very much against systemd in all senses, but this sounds like a better approach. Even if it not done as systemd, makes more sense than checking files and getting elevated privileges for a scope and use guardrails everywhere

I was reading about it and I actually like a lot this solution’s principle. It reminds me a lot of puppet which I have seen before (for other kind of tasks) to orchestrate several computers. Big shame it works on windows though, since I have a server with docker on ubuntu server at this point and was not really looking forward to change that. But thanks for the suggestion, is for sure very interesting

Nowadays I sort of do this with seafile. Select folders to sync, open the app every other time to resync stuff, carry on with your day. The only thing I wanted to take away if there is a better way to not have a massive hassle to reinstall everything in case something happens (and in case I forget to select a folder to sync also).

But your suggestion I think is very valid as well. At least for mint have a way to make a more automated installer or similar to get the stuff I use usually. Yet another rabbit hole to go into…

I checked a couple of times time shift, but it’s a shame not even ftp is allowed as a backup destination.

As for restic, will give a check later

EDIT: just read about restic, and I think this can be the solution I was looking for. Docker image is available and all, so for me that is a big plus. Once I have the chance I will test drive it and see where it goes. Thanks!

Had to search for a while what even pxe boot is, but I believe I came around the suggestion. I like fogproject main idea, sounds like a way to deploy thin clients or similar. Not exactly what I am looking for,but it’s good to know this exists. Thanks!
