Exactly the information I needed, thank you for this :)

That makes more sense- kinda like nondestructive editing when working with audio/video. The snapshot is more or less a list of instructions to revert a system back to a previous state, not an actual copy of everything.

Thank you- this is exactly the direction I was needing

That makes more sense to me now. If I did want to backup system files and settings on another drive, what tool could I use?

[-] Cornflake@pawb.social 4 points 16 hours ago

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding how Timeshift works. If Timeshift isn't a backup tool then what does it do? I thought that I could use my primary SSD and save snapshots to a secondary SSD using Timeshift. Everything is formatted to BTRFS by the way, it's not like the primary drive is in ext4 or something like that.

Can I configure it to do what I want it to do or do I need some other sort of tool for that?

Hey there, folks! Currently playing around with a laptop that's got three SSDs. Running Arch but that isn't quite related. I have everything configured on one SSD, the other two are totally fresh. What do I need to do to setup one of those fresh SSDs for Timeshift backups? Please walk me through it from the very start- I think I understand some parts but I'm not too certain.

I can format the drives using mkfs.btrfs without any issues, but I'm confused about how I can add subvolumes and configure their root permissions properly to allow Timeshift snapshots.

EDIT: I see now that I misunderstood what Timeshift does. New question- which tool can I use to make a backup of my entire filesystem onto another drive such that it can be restored?

I'm with the employee on this one. Dude's just doing his job, it's not their fault if the policy is sucky

To be honest, I think a big part of the 196 identity is that it comes from blahaj. Maybe the move will prove me wrong, but I can't imagine the energy will be the same.

Hey there, I'm having a trouble with my Yubikey not showing me the TOPT passcodes I have saved to it, It DOES show Passkeys though. I don't have this problem when I plug it into my phone, so I'm really not sure what the problem is. Anybody know what the fix is?

EDIT: I figured out that for whatever reason, the Flathub version just doesn't function properly. When I install the tarball from Yubico's website, the executable DOES work right, but I can't seem to figure out how to make the .desktop file install into the programs list.

I mean the boxes for font and paragraph style are all dark when they should be light. I think it's got to do with the system theme, I just wish I could selectively choose the theme for each application so dark mode doesn't mess things up like this.

The dark system theme I have set seems to make some applications look funny, with dark boxes where they should be light. Is there any way I can manually set a theme on a per-application basis?

These headphones are tuned exceptionally well. Unfortunately, I have not heard the AKG K371 so I cannot compare them to their sibling cans, but from what I am told, the K371s have a bit more excitement in the bass at the cost of less soundstage.

The K361 is really well-tuned, with accurate tonal balance throughout the whole frequency response. These headphones are also very comfortable, with an all-plastic build that makes for a very lightweight and fatigue-free fit. It's mostly soft-touch plastic that feels rather sturdy in the hand. I imagine most folks could wear these things for hours without any particular problems with comfort.

On The Alan Parsons Project's "Don't Answer Me," the soft background vocals in harmony with the chorus can often fade into the mix on poor headphones. This is especially the case around 2:14 during the lyrics "Run away and hide from everyone." Fortunately, the AKG K361s present the background vocals just fine, separating the vocals well enough to differentiate the background vocalist in the left channel from the lead vocalist in the center and another background vocalist in the mid-right area. It's that mid-right background singer that can often gets buried, but I can pick him out plenty well on the AKG K361.

Transients are also smooth, these drivers certainly run quick enough to make sense of them. On the track "Bremen" by PigPen Theatre Co., vocals have a very gentle reverb on them that can often get buried by the guitar and banjo. The fast decay is audible with these cans, making it easy to track exactly when each note finishes.

Sub bass definitely seems favored over mid bass, with a fairly clear low-end- an exciting but well-balanced bass. I like this pair of headphones for the tune "あめあがりのうた" by Snail's House. I don't consider myself much of a bass-head as I certainly prefer bass quality over bass quantity, and this is one of those tracks than can give me a headache when I play it on bass-heavy headphones. Fortunately, the low-end is present and with plenty of excitement, but tame enough for my ears to really enioy on this track.

As the title suggests, this pair of headphones has one fatal flaw. The biggest problem with the AKG K361s for me would be that it's nigh impossible to get a good seal while wearing glasses. Seriously, the first time I put thes headphones on, I thought something was wrong, they didn't sound right. Then I took my glasses off and they sounded amazing. Looking online, it seems Dekoni Audio makes some pads for the AKG K361/K371 that are alleged to work a lot better for getting a good seal with glasses, but that is adding $50 to a headphone that costs only about twice that. In total one would end up having to pay about $150 total for the headphones and their remedy. I do believe that's still a fair price for what you get, but at that price point one might consider a different pair of headphones instead.

In case you're curious, the headphones come with a fair assortment of goodies, including two cables, one of a short length and one that is longer, as well as a soft tie-up case and a screw-on quarter inch adapter. It's nothing particularly significant, but it's also nice to have the different options for cable length. The cables plug into the headphones with a 2.5mm TRRS end that twists to lock into the left ear. Both cables terminate in 3.5mm single-ended that can be used with the screw-on quarter inch adapter.

The headphones also fold up for compact storage.

Otherkin, or therians, are not a kink. They're folks that believe themselves on a spiritual level to have the spirit of something else (animal spirits).
