What's an elegant way of automatically backing up the contents of a large drive to multiple smaller drives that add up to the capacity of the large drive?
  • Im going to say that doesnt exist and restoring from it would be a nightmare. You could cobble together a shell or python script that does that though.

    You're better off just getting a drive bay and plugging all the drives in at once as an LVM.

    You could also do the opposite, which is split the 4TB into the different logical volumes. Each the same size as a drive.

    Houthis enforce embargo on ships heading to or leaving Israel
  • Thats assuming Yemen is capable of stopping all israeli traffic through the red sea. Best they can do is make it risky, which is effective, but not total. Pretty sure the US has bases in Djbouti for this exact reason.

    Houthis enforce embargo on ships heading to or leaving Israel
  • Due to these attacks, many Israeli commercial ships have been forced to change their routes with Israel’s Eilat port recording around 85% loss in its business according to the media reports. The Houthi-led government in Yemen has also fired missiles and drones targeting Eilat.

    Above cites almayadeen which cites israeli channel 13, which is an internet dead end.

    Wiki says its not a major port compared to the Mediterranean ports. It doesnt even have a rail line...

    Boycott these Israeli supporting child murdering companies!!
  • Pizza Hut and KFC are owned by Pepsi, which also owns Taco Bell. BK merged with Tim Horton's and together own Popeyes. This leaves only Wendy's and Arby's as the only uncancelled national fast food chains.

    How to set LightDM and XFCE to only start when I want them and not at boot
  • Use systemctl:

    • to turn off lightdm, sudo systemctl stop lightdm. This will also shut down xfce if it was started with lightdm.
    • to permamently not start lightdm at boot, sudo systemctl disable lightdm.
    • to start xfce whenever you want it just run start-xfce.

    Note: this will mean that you computer will boot directly to tty instead of any graphical display, which I assume is what you wanted.

    Remove all barriers in the way of science
  • Do you understand that the primary barriers being referred to here are intellectual property? I suspect you aren't in favor of propritarian intellectualism. What do you think those racist academies opinions on intellectual property has been?

    Whats your favorite free open source software that everyone should try?
  • If you have an always on compute: Syncthing. Think google drive or Dropbox but with as many different folders and devices as you want.

    If you're already on linux: KDE connect, even if you're not on KDE. Neat little pocket knife of ways to connect to your computer from your phone.

    The Wisconsin plan to overturn an election
  • Bruh did you forget the whole point of gerrymandering? Its literally rigging the voting system and your plan is to just vote with gerrymandering as a rallying cry. We'd be better off rallying around abortion rights. We'd be better off just rioting. I appreciate your rage about gerrymandering but thats something only primary voters give a shit about.

    There are more districts that are no longer Republican strongholds than people realize.

    The GOP is sitting at almost a 2/3rds supermajority in both houses. Which and how many districts do you think we can flip?

    Wagner boss Prigozhin killed in plane crash in Russia
  • The crisis wasnt started the donbass seceded. The crisis started because there was a coup in keiv. The new government was shelling the donbass long before the invasion. None of that happened in your example.

  • This makes your analogy make less sense. No nazi party came to power in the donbass. In fact they precieved that had happened in keiv and seceded.

  • Because its not relevant. It HAPPENS to be the case now,

    It IS relevant because its the fundamental reason why we can say we'll get positive outcomes from this case. It was even baked into your explanation "ending global imperialism".

    but the framing of "big vs small" is very ignorant

    "Framing" is ambiguous and I'm ignoring that,

    bruh
