Manjaro Gnome worked with my Lenovo T480s out of the box.

My First Regular Expressions

I’ve been reading Mastering Regular Expressions by Jeffrey E.F. Friedl, and since nobody in my life (aside from my wife) cares, I thought I’d share something I’m pretty proud of. My first set of regular expressions, that I wrote myself to manipulate the text I’m working with....

I’ll have to check out this book. Just remember HTML cannot be parsed with regex

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? (Linux)

So I have a nearly full 4 TB hard drive in my server that I want to make an offline backup of. However, the only spare hard drives I have are a few 500 GB and 1 TB ones, so the entire contents will not fit all at once, but I do have enough total space for it. I also only have one USB hard drive dock so I can only plug in one...

You could create a Python script to do this. There is a library called psutil that would help. Basically,

  • iterate over mounted drives and see how much each has available
  • based on these values, iterate over your backup files and separate them into chunks that will fit on each drive
  • copy chunks to respective drives

Would be a fun little project even for a beginner I think.

Had you ever seen one before?

I hadn’t heard of them. I’ll be on the look out from now on.

I see it as a good thing. Apple is not without faults, but anything that keeps Google from harvesting more data is a win for humanity. The Safari browser is the only thing stopping Google’s browser monopoly. Unfortunately it is forced, and 99% of Apple users probably have no clue they are holding up the last line of defense.

Definitely not humanity’s biggest problem. Chromium becoming the de facto browser creates a situation where one entity controls standards and influences how the web operates, impacting user choice and freedom, and reduces incentives for privacy and security updates.

This already happened once with IE.

I only use Firefox on desktop, but I doubt it will be a relevant choice much longer.

Edit: wrt telemetry, I was referring to the Android operating system. They collect anything and everything on users and all nearby devices.

Artifacts on Chromium in Pop!_OS (dormi.zone)

I get a lot of visual artifacts when first opening Chromium on Pop!_OS with a 12th gen intel Framework laptop. Relatedly, odd black outlines will appear around different elements around the OS occasionally. I believe I’m on the most recent drivers and such, is there some other configuration necessary to fix this bit of cruft?

I saw something similar to this on an intel Mac running canary years back. I believe toggling GPU acceleration in the settings resolved the issue.
