I’m still lookin but it looks like it is gone- but yeah- even after all these years- i get a brain fart and don’t think, and just rush through the process- being in linux- i shoudla figured it was something that shoulda been noted and recorded-
Boomers were born from 1946 to 1964.
We will catch it next time! :)
Thanks.
BKMK for later
ok i was right after that- so i was the next generation- i still consider myself the hippy generation though- grew up on small farm, hippy dippy clothes, haircuts etc- ‘all natrural foods’ mostly- and lemme tell ya- goat’s milk still turns my stomach to this day lol
The 70s were Hippy too. Lol. :)
Yep- the tail end of the movement- still kind of going in the early 80’s but not as hard
Yep- i will try to remember to write everything down and document as much as i can- if i don’t panic again-
BTW- what sandbox are you using for linux? I have a couple of people that use the computer- and have always wanted to have some kind of sandbox to make sure nothing gets through-
It’s talking about a PRIVATE cloud. Using the same technology as those others, you host all the server/data on your own site. It’s only accessible by you.
I have several independent stand alone full OS clone systems on USB sticks for doing things like that where I am worried about it. You can run a full Cinnamon system for testing stuff on a 32 gig stick. I must have about a dozen in different linux flavors around here now. :)
And about to make another one with MOFO Linux... Lol

Yes, like NextCloud.
Good recommendations.
Unfortunately the U.S. government knows everything about me already.
The First lady, not so much.

I have it installed on a 1T SSD that I have in a USB enclosure. It's got about a half dozen distro ISOs on it now.

Thank you Ace! Yes I have been meaning to go get that and play with it! So far I have been able to just install directly onto a stick from the live/install sticks for handy small full OS drives with persistent storage.
And I have been able to install “Along side” over other OS install volumes and stack them. I have five stacked on this 2 Tb external “Back up” USB drive now. And surprisingly they run almost as fast as they would if installed internally.
The one thing I do though before installing to a stick or external drive is delete all the default crap on the drive. The default security stuff can prevent it from accepting a full OS install.
But it is cool to have something isolated and independent you can just plug in on a small drive so that if something goofs it you can just reinstall from scratch over it with no trouble. :)
how did you clo0ne the system if you don’t mind me asking? I do timeshift backups, but would like full clone of the linux system- just incase something goes wrong-
Know what... The options have been a deep discussion over at our own forums recently. I have been busy as hell so let me get caught up and I will get back to you on this tomorrow. Apparently there are many options. A couple I have not personally tried yet and cannot vouch for.
Be back Bro...
I typically just back up /home, /Documents, and /Downloads.
Everything else can just be re-installed. (And I do have a script to reinstall all my apps after a clean OS install)
I really liked rollback rx as it did a snapshot of the entire system (much better than windows backup and restore), and it starts before the os begins to load, incase your system got a root kit virus or whatever. I wish it worked for Linux though. Timeshift is OK, but I notice that doing a rollback with it, it leaves some things on the computer like files and desktop stuff - it doesn’t do a complete bit for bit restore like rollback did.
Ultimately, I’d like to do a bit for bit backup of the Linux os after I install everything I want, and create an instalation disk with my custom settings. I don’t mind reinstalling Linux, but it’s all the custom programs and settings that take the most time redoing manually.
But all in all, Linux is way way faster and easier to reinstall and get back up and running than windows ever though t of being. It used to literally take me days (a few hours a day) to get back all my files, programs, personal settings etc and get it “hardened” agaisnt viruses. That was why rollbackrx was so useful- if anything went wrong, it had a c9mplete snapshot, or many snapshots to,choose from at boot, or from desktop
Thanks shadowace- i think I asked you awhile back about the script. If I had something like that, I would be set to go- mostly- but then there are custom settings for the look and feel of th3 os, like the clock format (though redoing that is no big deal, I have the syntaxes for it written down), and a few other minor custom things. But having all the programs rei stalled with al, the customizations would shave off a few hours of the rei stall of Linux
I used it one time several years ago but look into “Clonezilla”. It is in the Software Manager Repository. Reed the directions well! :)
