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.

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.

Haha, I am a native German speaker, and I had a hard time following them without looking at the subtitles. But then, grammar is a fickle bitch in all languages.

I have been using Terminator for years now, because you can easily slice and dice the window into several terminals, and it is reasonably configurable. But then, as I am completely happy with it, I never ventured out to find an even better one, so YMMV.

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.

I switched two of our boxes over to Debian “Bookworm”. And so far, I am completely happy with the change. On desktop, it’s still a little rough around the edges, and a few oddities need to be ironed out here and there, but that’s nothing compared with the ocean of pain that were snaps for me and my company.

Still a little nostalgic, though, after 17 years of Ubuntu 🫠
