I use external hard drives. Two of them, and they get rsynced every time something changes, so there's a copy if one drive should fail. Once a month, I encrypt the whole shebang with gpg and send it off into an AWS bucket.

Terminator for me. It has tiles and tabs and does everything I need.

Shamed be he who thinks naughty of it. 🤣

Not sure, whether it is relevant for this thread, but my phone (POCO F3) does not get any notifications if Google Play Services has no access to the internet. I scratched my head for a while to find out, why I never got them on mobile data. Not sure, what it does, if you disable the store.

Ah, F-Droid did it. Thank you so much!

Happy days!

 

I would like to use wget or curl on Android, mostly to test my webserver against some rules that I set.

I do have Termux on my tablet, but it will no longer install new packages, seems to be abandoned, maybe?

Is there an app/way to have one or both of these commands working on Android (13) without root? My GoogleFoo is failing me.

Thanks for any hint.

 

Today I was watching a few YouTube videos about groundwork with horses. First time I did that. Yes, I was logged in.

Later today, I hopped on Amazon to track one of my packages. And in my suggestions, there were horse grooming kits, halters and the like, even though I had never before looked for things like these on there.

My mail addresses are different on the two places, and so are, of course, my passwords. I am on Linux with Firefox, uBlock etc. So this must be an incredible coincidence, a miracle, mind-reading, or maybe witchcraft?

I wonder what I could tweak to make things like this happen less in future. I am thinking of adding a Pi-hole to my router, yet I am no longer so sure, if it would help?

I think, these are great ideas. OTOH, how much would it cost to reinforce a roof structure to reliably withstand the forces and vibrations of such an apparatus?

I have been using MapFactor Navigator for decades already. It uses OSM for maps (or Tomtom maps, if you want to go commercial), and you can configure every aspect of the navigation; you can completely geek out on it, if you want.

Not affiliated at all, just a happy user.

 

An old truck is repaired in order to carry grain all through Ukraine. Then the adventure starts. It really is a very different world.

Video is in French. Subtitles in many languages are available.

 

I find it fascinating to follow chief Makoi's travels.

 

"Uncle Roger" joins "Cowboy Kent Rollins" at his cowboy-kitchen, and they cook egg fried rice on a way too heavy wok. Hilarious, and an excellent recipe!

Thre could be two other things that I can think of:

Permissions maybe: Try "sudo chmod +x /path/yourscript.sh" to make your script explicitly executable.

Also, the environment of cron doing something may be different from when you do it as root or user. So you should always use the full path to every command in your script; like "/bin/tar" instead of just "tar". To find out, where things are, you can use "whereis tar", and it will tell you, whether it's in /bin, /usr/bin or elsewhere.
