Backup with rsync question


I am setting up a rotating 7-day #backup for my #yunohost, using #rsync. I managed to create a list of #cron jobs, like this:
sudo rsync -aur /home/yunohost.backup /media/backup_disk/YNHx260_bkp/Sunday
but the problem is that rsync keeps adding files to target directories, instead of replacing their content, which is my intention.

Should I use rm to clean up the target before rsync, or is there a more intelligent way to do that?

in reply to 8Petros [$ rm -rv /capitalism/*]

Huh, cool, I actually have the same problem, which I realized when I did a backup recovery recently. I'll likely look into that soonish and probably post about it when I figure it out.




So far, the change of dynamics I'm finding the weirdest in the fediverse is the lack of a "quote tweet" equivalent. I keep reading stuff where I want to go "yes, and..." only to find the platform gently pushing back and going "we don't do that here."

Based on wordsmith.social/elilla/a-futu… (thank you @elilla, it's an incredibly useful orientation for noobs like me) and another toot I can't find any more, this was a deliberate design choice, with a bunch of positive effects.

And it makes sense, just... I have a bunch of unlearning to do about how I communicate. That's really the biggest impact of being here so far for me, being forced to reexamine how other social media taught me to behave.

It is not fediverse. It is just Mastodon®.



A place of many colors


#Fediverse means #diversity. Here you will find a list of many platforms that may suit your needs, whatever they are. Enjoy!

For the record...


1. #Fediverse is much more than #Mastodon®
2. The de facto monopoly of #Mastodon is unhealthy for its users and for the whole network. (check: 3E strategy)
3. Other platforms and applications exist, and they offer various features and various experience, suitable for various minds.
4. Mastodon is best suited for a mind moulded into Twitter way of thinking. You may wish to stay this way until you die, but you can easily change it now.

Just #JoinFediverse!

"Tak toczno!" Jak gubernatorzy zapewniają, że się postarają...


W moim ulubionym cyklu "Goworit #Moskwa", dzisiaj o tym, jak próba władzy centralnej, by się przeorganizować i zwiększyć efektywność działania w obliczu kryzysu (wojny), została spacyfikowana przez lokalnych czynowników.

* TUŁA: intensyfikowanie prac nad wolumenem
* CZELABIŃSK: niezbędne działania w celu poprawy
* MORDOWIA: zidentyfikowano priorytetowe środki
* MURMAŃSK: robimy wszystko, co niezbędne
* KAMCZATKA: krótki komunikat, nawet się nie wysilali



Konwersacja bez konfrontacji


Kto chętny porozmawiać o ważnych rzeczach bez prób przekonywania się nawzajem?

Nie znam lepszego startera takiej konwersacji niż ten cytat.



Ableizm istnieje. Niekoniecznie tam, gdzie go szukamy.

Dyplomacie nie wolno...


...mówić pewnych rzeczy.

Prezydent Wołodymyr Zełenski podpisał dekret o rezygnacji Petra Wrublewskiego ze stanowiska ambasadora Ukrainy w Kazachstanie. Dyplomata w rozmowie z kazachskim blogerem, odnosząc się do wojny na Ukrainie, powiedział, że „im więcej my (Ukraińcy – przyp. red.) teraz zabijamy Rosjan, tym mniej nasze dzieci będą musiały ich zabijać”.


My first #antinazi sweep.


@admin got into a confrontation with the-one-whose-name-we-do-not-mention – purely on anti-capitalist basis. Soon, the thread got rallied by the bunch of #brownshirts, trying to muddle the water by mixing racist manipulation into the topic, effectively diverging from critique of behaviour of the said unnamed person.

That made me raise my first #brownalert, do a sweep defederation (see petroskowo.pl/friendica) and create a suitable warning meme (below). Folks, enjoy. And remember: you let one rat in, soon you will get raided by the whole pack. Stay alert and trigger-happy.
