You are probably technically right about rsync, and I had used rdiff-backup for many years actually instead. But I do think there is a different use case for each, depending on what you are backing up.

E.g. if it is files that change a lot, like documents or other text files. Rdiff-backup will be better, keeping old versions of them automatically ready for restoring.

But if it concerns backing up music, videos and also images (unless you edit them but then you'd probably save a new file as well), there doesn't seem to be much difference to rsync anymore. Those files do not change, so an incremental backup won't really add any value.

So is this legally different than making a photocopy of your passport? Since that is supposedly not allowed but in the moment you are asked you are obviously going to comply as you really need a place to stay. If it is not I hope this company gets into the legal drama they deserve.

Well, it is an easy target to advocate against right now.

Sounds healthy. You do you, and in this case that is good.

I'd rather pirate it then. Why is it being shut down? Just to save on operating costs of the servers?

NOTE: All multiplayer servers for LEGO 2K Drive will be shutdown as of 05/31/2027. After that time, all game functions requiring online servers will no longer function.

He is right but very likely for the wrong reasons. He doesn't want young people fleeing the country in response to whatever the fuck he is doing to it.

The man was well ahead of his time.

From the Emudeck discord:

@everyone Hey everyone, apologies for the ping but since this is deemed as critical to the security of people's devices here, I will have to. Cemu (The Wii U emulator) was recently compromised by a malicious attacker using a known developers account, this compromise took place from May 6th to May 12th, and introduces malware that is known to steal passwords, SSH keys, GitHub tokens, and likely more they are not fully aware of at this moment. We recommend anybody who is on Linux or SteamOS to go into the EmuDeck app, Manage Emulators tab, Cemu, and click Reinstall/Update, and make sure the hash of the AppImage (Located in Home/Applications, right click Cemu AppImage, go into Properties, Checksums, and Calculate the SHA256 hash) matches the non-compromised version provided by the Cemu developers, if you have used Cemu from the dates I have mentioned, and the SHA256 hash does not match what is listed, assume your system may be compromised if it was ran. If you are on Windows, MacOS, or used the Flatpak version, you are not affected by this malware. More information regarding this attack can be found here. https://rentry.org/cemu-security-psa

The specifically affected packages were:

Cemu-2.6-x86_64.AppImage

cemu-2.6-ubuntu-22.04-x64.zip

It is pretty decent, but if you don't like reading/listening to lots of text, you won't have a good time.
