Both my usenet providers are setup the same and using 50 connections. I’d love to blame docker, but thought i see if anyone here has...

I am using restic for backups. I would like to use a non-root user to backup my docker volumes. As the files in the volumes have very different access rights and groups, accessing them is difficult without root rights....

I’m trying to learn how to play and I understand what community cards are, what they do, who goes first/last, etc, but how do the cards in your hand effect the game? I can’t find the answer anywhere and it’s getting confusing.

I have got very comfortable with basic commands and many just works distros (such as Linux Mint, or Pop!_OS) with apt as the package manager.
