I love the fact that the #VAX tag refers to the actual DEC VAX machines in the Fediverse, while on Twitter, it's all about vaccines... The real anti-vaxxers are developers who exclusively use RISC processors like Alpha, ARM or MIPS. #retrocomputing
been using the format " tar -rvW video-tarball.tar &> /tmp/backup-results.txt" to take tarballs of my video projects and move them to tape. Problem is the verifying process, it tries to not only verify the tarball I am pushing to tape right now, but the entire rest of the tape, which it of course balks about since the point is to transfer to tape, not backup on tape. Thought I could use the -A to concatenate multiple archives, doesn't work that way tho. Now I see how to do it using MT to move around, but realized 2 things:
1) its WAY to easy for me to overwrite stuff on the tape this way.
2) should have coughed up the extra $$ to get LTO-5 and have LTFS.
4. Free Software client and server + federation (Example #Matrix and #Quicksy/#XMPP): respects users' freedom (as a user or as a community) and no vendor lock-in
5. Free software client + peer to peer design (Example GNU #Jami, #Briar, #Tox): respects users' freedom and no vendor lock-in
Vendor lock-in: Ability to switch service is too hard because it reauires convincing every contact to move to a new service.
#P2P messengers need both users online at same time to exchange messages.
1. Non-free software client and server + centralization (Example #WhatsApp): does not respect user's freedom and creates vendor lock-in
2. Free Software client but non-free server + centralization (Example #Telegram): client software respects freedom, server software does not respect freedom and creates vendor lock-in
3. Free Software client and server + centralization (Example #Signal): respect user's freedom but creates vendor lock-in

Right on!! Unfortunately this year I'm going to have to finally do some major cleanout, I have around 10 pcs, and about as many laptops in my storage, desktops range from p4- to athalon 64 (single core) I already culled P1 - P3 desktops last year, but I'm beyond out of space to its time to scrap some more stuff :/ It's amazing how little resources you need to run debian + windowmaker :)
