Seems like an odd software choice to create actual dotfiles under /etc. Often files there have much the same name as a user's dotfiles but without the dot. Thinking of things like /etc/profile vs ~/.profile and so on.
Without knowing precisely why those decisions were taken (good reason? ignorance? insanity?) it's not clear what steps to take.
Vaguely leaning towards symlinking or hardlinking but precisely what to do and which way around is still unclear.
Do those dotfiles have your user permissions or are they owned by a system account like root?
Then they shouldn't have dots on them (bad design decision) and should be backed up by the system backup/restore mechanism, whatever that might be, not the user's own homedir backup, which is what I assume OP is talking about.
If they're talking about a full system backup including home directories, that's a moot point because I'd expect they'd be included anyway, dot or not.
Diabetes type 2 is no joke and will change yoyr life for the even worse than it right now. Don’t waste your life like this even if you have a shitty situation.
If you have abusive parrents try to seek help from the police or other insurances.
ODroids are massively underrated. The first Pi we bought is dead. The second one is now so underpowered for what we want that it's been turned into retro arcade machine. It still finds ways to cause problems too. Whereas our first ODroid is still going strong after many years of faithful service. We added an ODroid toaster to the mix a couple of years ago that's also given us zero issues and works wonderfully.
I bought Home Assistant Blue from Ameridroid, which was Home Assistant’s first (and happily still continuing) jump into making Home Assistant more accessible and easy if you weren’t a hobbyist or tinkerer: Odroid N2+ preloaded with Home Assistant OS, a super adorable blue case, and power supply. That was my first experience with that board and with eMMC; 128 GB of it, talk about turning my head (also 4 GB RAM). Honestly, the only reason I didn’t get another is I didn’t have a project that required it; the reason I even found out the Beagles existed was the Open Source Border Router project I wanted to do had it as an option for the walk-through and gave me a reason to test drive.
But I have to agree: I’ve been running it straight for three years now and the Odroid does its job with zero issues. Home Assistant and its parts have given me problems, but Blue (yes, it’s name is Blue, it was just there) never does.
Eh, people kept awarding me, so I do have a couple left over from all that. Wasn't gonna use them because that would make me look like a tool, but this idea might be funny enough to sway me
I like the other idea of finding posts about Lemmy and awarding those. Or if you have Alts make a post. Award the post, use an alt. Use that free gold to award another until you run out of gold awarding your own posts about going to Lemmy.
I had some from awards I had gotten in the past. I also did buy some to try and secretly award my wife on one of her posts (I was just trying to be a sweet at the time. She did find out. It was still sweet)
But I also deleted an account that had some coins without thinking about it… cause it didn’t matter. Main point though; fuck them
I used to have Premium, to make up for not getting ads on Apollo. (Plus, you know, ad free viewing on old.reddit.com on the desktop.) You get an allotment of coins each month. Canceled last month, but still have the coins.
Cron jobs are mainly for enabling and disabling internet access by mac address on a schedule. I also like that these commercial products force search to google or duckduckgo safe search, and youtube to youtube restricted on a per user basis (which really could be done by mac address). I mean I can prob do all this with firewall rules myself. But a slick web interface would be cool.
In Pi-Hole you can define groups and add devices to them and then assign block lists to those groups. I’m not sure if all your use cases are covered. Maybe you can check their discourse to see if others have found a decent way. The web interface is quite nice from my point of view.
I’m using the PhotoSync app to backup to Dropbox and to my local HDD from multiple phones and tablets. Seems to work like a charm. Better than the shitty Dropbox iOS photos backup for sure.
In the future–far enough that Geordi calls the Enterprise D “older” and “analogue”!–Starfleet will unveil a new technological marvel that was never thought possible until 2401: remote control ships. 🤔
I have a dynamic IP and have been using it for years. I also host my own mail server on a VPS using miab which provides my DNS. My router supports pushing DDNS changes, so as soon as my IP changes, I’m able to update my external DNS and everything is all good.
If you can reliably update an external DDNS service, I can’t see paying for a static IP for your self-hosted stuff.
