  • Confused about rsync behavior

    So basically I'm using rsync to backup my dedi server to my NAS. I was using Synology's Active Backup for Business, however they don't support kernels newer than 5.10. They just released the update that added support up until 5.10 (used to be 5.4) so I can anticipate that it will take a lot longer to actually get to 5.15 which is what Ubuntu 22.04 uses. So that's why I'm using rsync to do it instead of ABB. This is the command I use
    rsync -avzx / --exclude={"/dev/*","/proc/*","/sys/*","/tmp/*","/run/*","/mnt/*","/media/*","/lost+found"} <nas username>@<nas ip>:/volume1/NetBackup/telesphoreo-dedi
    Ideally this backs everything up except the folders that can't / aren't supposed to. So I have two questions. I'm currently using port 22 to do this, but I'm wondering how I can change the port to something other than 22. There's not a -p flag with rsync to specify the port so I'm not sure if I can or if I'm stuck using 22. Secondly, I'm confused on the behavior of this and if it's copying over the same files every time. Ideally, it would only copy over files that have had changes. I've heard this is the default behavior of rsync but to me it looks like it's copying everything over. That's not necessarily a problem right now because it goes pretty fast, but if it can be faster that'd be ideal. So I have no idea if it's doing it efficiently or not

  • Still the best printer

    So it's been a little over a year since I've owned my Epson printer. I initially made a thread a few weeks after owning the printer saying how much I liked it (https://forum.totalfreedom.me/d/1727-finally-a-good-printer). Well, it's been a year since then. I'll cut to the chase and say that it's still going strong after a year.


    Here's what the ink reports after one year of owning it

    One of the biggest complaints was that the ink dries out and it takes a lot of ink to fix. I haven't experienced any of those problems. Once my printer was printing lines weirdly but after cleaning the printer heads it worked fine. I've only had to do this once. On our old Epson printer, it's doing it all the time. I hope this isn't a trend and going to happen to mine as well. Anyway, if you're looking for a color printer and you expect to use it often, I definitely still recommend it. The drivers have remained the same and there have been no changes which is a good sign. The one thing I did do was turn off Bonjour because fuck Apple. Thankfully it's extremely easy to do and you're not forced to use it.


    I already talked about the cost difference between owning a color laser printer vs. this on the other thread so I won't really reiterate. However, my only advice is that if you only care about printing black and white, definitely get a laser printer instead. I still somewhat regret I didn't get a laser printer, but as I said this printer is better due to it being more compact and color laser printers are not. But I've had to do no maintenance except cleaning the print heads once. My only advice is to not get the cheaper eco tank ones. I bought an expensive one and it still feels kind of cheap. Or if size isn't a concern at all I'd go laser printer

  • Let's talk about guns

    This thread was inevitable. There have been three deadly shootings in a very short timespan. First the shooting in Buffalo, then at an elementary school in Uvalde, and now at a hospital in Tulsa.


    What are your thoughts on current gun control laws? How do you propose we fix this problem? Should we limit guns or take away the second amendment?
