Here's today's dispatch from the "tech is shit" battlefront, in which I bitch about the things that went wrong for me with tech since my last dispatch that I had to deal with.

#linux #protip if you want to #rsync files via #ssh and you need #sudo on the remote machine you can simply use:
rsync -avz --rsync-path="sudo rsync" <user>@<host>/<remotePath> <localPath>

I got my new @starlabssystems StarLite 5 this morning, replacing a Surface Go 2 which is starting to show its age...

Of course I've immediately installed @debian #Trixie and #Phosh, and after #rsync'ing my /home from the SG2 it's good to go, with everything working out-of-the-box! (including the cameras, yes)

This definitely demonstrates how far ARM-based devices are from wider adoption, and how a Linux-first x86 #Tablet can still be very relevant to end users!

How do you install #VimWiki on #Debian #Linux?

I am interested in trying this out as a personal / public knowledge-base, which publishes as HTML to a static site (#rsync?).

Longer term, I want to build a "solar" laptop - an A5-sized computer with a dot-LCD screen (think: TI-92 Calculator), a decent keyboard, and a trackball... Might put an e-Ink panel on one side, and solar-panel charger on the other...

@rincewind I do love #rsync and haven't used it for awhile. Great suggestion.

I will check out NextCloud.

Location of profile settings stored on disk

After successfully encrypting my /home with Ubuntu 24.04 and restoring data, including hidden files, the profile settings like appearance were still not restored. I get that the first boot was into...

My media storage is using #BTRFS. And there is not that much movement here. Sometimes I add 2 or 3 things, sometimes I remove 2 or 3 things. But from time to time, #rsnapshot (so #rsync) decides that the whole set of files has changed and should be copied from scratch. This also happens on the "application" storage (still using BTRFS) where things only change when I update applications.

Source and destination storage all being different, I don't expect the media to be faulty. So I wonder if BTRFS doesn't do backend stuff (self-healing, defrag, etc) that fools rsync into thinking the content has changed. đŸ€”
