I'm going to do the same later this year as like you my setup is 10 years plus, though I'll re-install Arch again What MB, GPU card etc did you buy? , as I'm out of touch with the latest equipment now, so would be grateful for a heads up

How about Cron? If it's just for copying your files / data, super easy to set up and extremely rapid, it doesn't do snapshots, it's just a simple 'copy my file to another place', but it works 👍

Use timeshift, install it, just chose where you want the backups to be installed, preferably a second HD or SD Flash. Chose when like once a day, week at start up for instance and forget it. Then if you screw up your Linux, just start in console mode, timeshift --restore and five mins later your up and running.
If you want just your data to be copied, then Cron
Both are standard Linux programs, often already installed depending on what Linux you have

Though to late to help you, when you get it working again, install Timeshift, so that instead of faffing around to try and suss out what went wrong, you just start timeshift -- restore from the console and a couple of minutes later you'll have your working setup back. It's saved my bacon quite a few times in the last couple of years, especially when you can't login to your DE.

Until a couple of days yi would have said Liftoff but I must admit Boost seems slightly better, the pro version, the free version with ads is awful, but at only 3.50 euros that's not expensive and worth the money

I've gone from the beta that I've been using since it came out, now to the beta QPR1 Beta 2
Haven't even seen the stable version. Probably should have opted out somewhere 🤣

I'm running a Debian Bookworm on a Zotac Tiny PC, plus Docker and Mosquitto with HomeAssitant supervisor installed and a Sonoff usb dongle P. No ZigBee2MQTT. To begin with the Dongle was recognised by HA, natively running ZHA, all worked okay. Then I added ZigBee2MQTT as a add-on in HA, linked it to my Mosquitto account, added MQTT as an add-on as you need it as well. The difference is enormous, as I now have a ZigBee Dashboard, many more options were seen by the ZigBee2MQTT on the devices that I had installed that weren't seen by the ZHA, I was even able to update certain firmware on my switches.
Yet another android 14 beta update this morning UPB.5230623.009 Only 21Mb in size
Minty95 1 year ago • 100%
Exactly the same for me, 26Hb, no Swap installed, never had a freeze or a problem in the two years using Arch
Another small beta update today, before the final comes available 5.230623.006

Grab a second SSD or HD, that way, keep windows in one as it will be probably be supplied with the computer. Add Linux to the other disk, Debian maybe, EndeavourOs much better. ThNo dual boot. And when starting to computer just choose which disk you want to use (F8 or F12 often) and later if and when ready, you wipe the windows HD and use it for backups
Minty95 1 year ago • 100%
Crossfit, mixture of weights, cardio, gym etc. For me by far the best sport as it combines everything, there's a lot of weight movements in it though mostly bars, squats, bench press, snatches, deadlifts etc and you certainly won't get bored

Yes, this was a strange one, as my phone told me it was installed and just needed to boot this morning, normally i have to tell it to download first, so a strange one...

I've stopped using lineage as i changed the pixel3 for a 6a, so stock android. Although at the time I could get PayPal to work my banking app was a no no
Yesterday, Sunday 20th another beta 14. Xx became available even though the last one was meant to be the last one, not sure what was modified

It sounds like the best option would be a dual boot, Linux for everything except games and when you want to play just boot into Windows. If you do this i would strongly suggest a two HD set up, one for windows and one for Linux, for two reasons, if you don't like Linux then you still have the original windows setup, two Windows will at one moment wipe the dual boot grub and you'll 'lose' the Linux startup, unless you have one OS per Hard Disk. I don't game anymore. Like you I also have an old card Gtx760 🤣🤣
Minty95 1 year ago • 100%
Try Lineage. I ran it on my Pixel 3 for about two years when Google stopped updating it. Then when I decided to sell it, just reflashed the Google OS back on it
Minty95 1 year ago • 100%
Like you i switched from about 30 years of windows to Linux almost three years ago, Ubuntu, Mint, Manjaro, Endeavour before ending up with Arch which I find perfect. I also have two PCs running Debian for HomeAssitant setups in two homes but I don't like Debian I sometimes use my wife's Windows setup for Garmin Express as that's the only windows program that I need. So keep on going, Windows is not missed,

I've used Joplin for years now before was Evernote. I like it because it's open source and the syncing option is built in, exemple either to Dropbox or NextCloud (I use both these options, DB only because I have a free option of 12gB otherwise I would use just NC) The syncing is painless as as I said built-in. It's not a pretty app, fairly plain, but it works perfectly, on my android and Linix PCs, Arch and Debian. I did try Obsidian once. It's pretty, but not being open source put me of. Try it again, takes minutes to set up, as again open source and works well

Thanks, I thought so, but preferred to ask. Thrn yes much better than a Pi and if yours is like mine then not much bigger
Minty95 1 year ago • 100%
First dopey question, what is a NUC? It's probably a computer but? If so same'ish story here went from a Pi4 to a Lenovo Tiny PC (reconditioned from Amazon at 100 euros) then sold the raspberry for 65 euros 🤣 Far faster and better, installed Debian Bookworm, Docker and then did a new Mosquitto and HA supervisor installation. Far better 👍
Minty95 1 year ago • 100%
I don't use Trillium, tried once Obsidian but it's not free. Have you tried Joplin, it's free works extremely well with Dropbox or NextCloud for syncing between téléphone and the PC. For note taking its extremely good
Minty95 1 year ago • 100%
Try this journalctl -xb -u cronie. It will show you any errors
Minty95 1 year ago • 100%
Timeshift. Easy to set up. Easy to use, only takes a couple of minutes to 're-set' your system back, if you break it. If you want just to backup files, documents etc then Cron. I use both. They are standard Linux programs and easy to use
Minty95 1 year ago • 100%
Are you in windows or Linux?
Minty95 1 year ago • 100%
They must have got this right finally. I tried that years ago, it took hours, where as Dropbox took a couple of seconds. And as I only use DB for that now. Never bothered changing it

It's just that Diaro and others diary apps are setup so that you see the date, title, tags, just like a paper version, again, something that you can't easily do in Joplin
Minty95 1 year ago • 100%
Joplin is really good for notes, (I tried uploading a Screenshot for you, but keep getting errors) , how and what to do when installing a Linux for instance. With it's sub categories. But for me at least it's useless for a daily diary use. I've been using Diaro on my phone for years now for my personal journal, as it's perfect for noting what do on the day, though I would like to have another option without my data being stored with them, syncing straight to my Dropbox or NextCloud for instance
Minty95 1 year ago • 100%
For note taking, Joplin is pretty good, in fact I went from Simplenote to Evernote (over kill and not free) to Joplin using Dropbox for the syncing (syncing is done by Joplin, so you don't need a 'syncing' app) between my PCs, all Linux and my Android phone. Simple to set up and free. I do not use it as a Journal as that is extremely poor, but for notes, it's perfect
Minty95 1 year ago • 100%
I use timeshift, on Arch and a Debian setup . It's simple to set up, I do a automatic snapshot once a day, so if something breaks, just boot into tty and restore the previous day's snapshot, takes about five minutes. Not sure why you say ext4 doesn't work as it does. Haven't tried the other programs that you talked about
Minty95 1 year ago • 100%
Diaro sends me a notification and the end of the Day, reminding me to write something.
Minty95 1 year ago • 100%
I keep a diary using Diaro on my android phone. I started a long time ago in note books, but as even I can't alway read my own writing, switched to typing. I don't write much, mostly rubbish, what I do find useful is the ability to search and find things, 'repaired the fridge' 'changed the battery in the smoke alarm', 'had so and so around for dinner' , 'bought this and that' .... It's only for myself, do when I'm dead and gone it will just disappear like myself
Minty95 1 year ago • 100%
At last 😁😁
Minty95 1 year ago • 100%
Yes i know, i tried it about two times, but found it extremely poor, was easier to install it by 'hand'
Minty95 1 year ago • 100%
I do a Syu almost every day, I also do a Timeshift snapshot every day. So if ever something is broken I can just boot into TS and reinstall yesterday's working system. Then I read the forums. That way I can see what breaks the system Only ever needed to that twice because of Nvidia updates (I'm running a very old card)

The Arch install is much lighter, Endeavour like many other linuxes, installs programs that you may or may not require. I prefer adding programd when I require them
Minty95 1 year ago • 100%
I went from Manjaro to Arch. Installed by command line (took a few tries to get it done... ) I tried their installer but it wasn't very good. Have also run Endeavour on a second pc for a while but I prefer pure Arch.

I've got a feeling that I read that is corrected on the latest beta update, might be worth checking that out
The lasted beta 14.5 is available for download this morning (27/7/2023]

No I do not see that as a problem. I think, seeing some of their clients that it's a reliable company
For the moment I have two accounts lemm.ee and lemmy.world, when i switch from lemm.ee, My account is all filled in, my subscriptions etc all is fine, but I switch to lemmy.world, it loosing my name, subscriptions etc, as shows me logged as Anonymous, see screenshot. Other than that, great app 👍 ![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/3ec28f11-1ece-480b-a624-c1188822d6aa.webp)
I've been trying for yonks (>two full days, plus crashing HA along the way) to get duckdns to work on my home assistant, so that I can remote access it from my telephone. Without success. There are pages and pages of people trying to get it to work, with multiple suggestions, mostly without success. I then came across Tailscale, it took me all of ten minutes to set it up, and WORKING. Whow, so hope this helps anybody trying to get remote access to their home assistant. This is not a publicity for Tailscale or Duckdns, just I'm so pleased to get it finally working.
The lasted beta 14.4 for your #Google #pixel is out and can be downloaded, it seems quite small as downloaded and installed quite quickly
