System can always be reinstalled, just backup your data, that’s the important part. Can recommend Duplicati for windows and Pika backup for Linux (borg frontend that makes it easy).

You could ask to be reimbursed for that too.

But that is not the point of this, I hope you understand.

Good to hear! I run it headless on my server

Until you find out it’s not one.

I can recommend duplicati on windows or pika backup (which is a borg backup gui) on linux. Then just make a user on raspberry pi and enter the ssh login in your backup client and you’re set.

Duplicati / Pika / Borg will encrypt the backups for you! So there is no danger of someone reading or changing your backups. You could use even some free cloud storage to store the backups safely. It really doesn’t matter where you store them.

Rsync won’t deduplicate or make archives so you cannot restore a backup from any chosen date. Rsync is sync not backup.

Tell this to the Steam fanboys

This is the worst comment I read today, congrats. What in the world…

It’s called a cartel, it’s illegal, look it up, and stop being a fanboy for some corporation

Exactly

Ban this vibecoded thing. Someone maybe had good intentions, but it doesn’t help anyone here

This should be top comment

It seems you did not read the article. I don’t see anyone being on the side of these age verification laws. What they are saying is that the laws are bad for Linux and it’s users even if Linux was left out of the laws’ scope.

If services start just blocking Linux, that is really bad for Linux users and adoption rates. It does not matter what apps you personally think are worth sticking with. It will just make Linux worse for everyone.

The point of this article is clear: that these laws are a problem to Linux and everyone even if Linux is left out of the scope.

Did you read it? I do not see this “is good actually and open source is wrong” anywhere, it seems you misunderstood something. Calm down and have a nice day!
