Great story Ray. Thumbs up.

Maybe this can help after installing pi-hole : https://www.pivpn.io

Just a few things come to mind :

  • Lobbyists stopping sugar taxes.
  • Big Pharma and health industry making tons of money.
  • European Union being very tolerant about pesticides.
  • Supermarkets putting candy close the counters where parents with kids are in queue.
  • Lots of people spending most of their time on mobile phones only exercising the muscles of their eyes.

I am happy that an organisation like Foodwatch exists : https://www.foodwatch.org/en/foodwatch-international

  • UPS, good idea.

  • backups too.

Nice that you are using FSearch :) I would put more excludes in it when you really want to index / In fact, apart from /home I would not index anything else than /etc /usr/share/doc and maybe /var/run/media or /media (depending on which Linux distribution you are using, for example Arch Linux will use /var/run/media and Ubuntu will use /media for removable devices).

Though I am using Debian 12 but not with Gnome and not with Nvidia. Found this :

https://wiki.debian.org/Wayland

GDM3

GDM (GNOME Display Manager) will automatically use Wayland when supported, except when using the >proprietary NVIDIA driver, in which case it will fall back to X11 due to instability.

Pacstall is for Ubuntu. I am not sure it can work well for Debian. Yes, sure, it is possible that some Ubuntu users see value in having AUR alike repositories to install from. Actually PPA for Ubuntu (PPA does not work well on Debian I've read) is kind of like AUR. The Personal Package Archives are uploaded by someone and provide newer versions of software, or provides software which is not in the main Ubuntu repositories. A good example of that is the PHP packages from Sury : https://deb.sury.org/

So the thing with Debian and any Debian based distro like Ubuntu or Linux Mint is there is no big centralized software repo like the AUR.

There is https://pacstall.dev/ the AUR for Ubuntu. It has a Lemmy community https://lemmy.ml/c/pacstall And there is PPA for Ubuntu. With the Arch AUR anyone can just upload something, and it is up to you to check whether it is uploaded malware or not. Sure, you can check how many others upvoted an AUR package but that is still no guarantee it is safe.

If you like the idea of Qubes OS and Tails, maybe Whonix has something similar to offer : https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Features

Maybe you were using a deprecated search engine after all ? ;-) I used one of my favorite SearXNG instances and this was in the top 5 hits, a howto with happy comments from 2022. I assume the content is still legit.

For the OP : By careful with rsync. A trailing slash in a path name of a rsync command can make a huge difference with rsync. rsync is a fantastic tool for local and remote copying but mind your steps :)

Here, as root, I would prefer option 2 to be sure to not mess up permissions :

1 rsync -av /home/user/ /home2

2 rsync -av /home/user/ /home2/
