I have been after this issue for the better of 3 days now. I used dmenu 5.1 (without patches) and when activating dmenu_run with Win+d, the image below looks and works just fine. dmenu5.1.png However, after compiling dmenu 5.3 (again, no patches), when activating dmenu_run, I get the following. dmen...

The Arch wiki is a great read for using dm-crypt however, there does not seem to be an easy way of doing that. I wanted a true full disk crypting some time ago and in the end, Due to a shrinking time-table, I just opted for the normal crypting off the normal install process. I never really cared muc...

In the disaster scenario (e.g., drive failure), I probably would just reinstall. For that instance, I prefer a using Clonezilla either twice or at least once a month and nightly tarballs of select directories that are cycled at 7 days. Nearly perfect for my disaster rebuilds and all under an hour.

One simple command (the syntax may vary):

tar zcf /dev/destination/backup.tgz /home/directory

use the parms: tar -zxvf to decompress the file.
man tar for other bits.

Nothing complex, nothing more needed, very little overhead, no extra applications, zero bloat.

Why not clone the directory and compile it - the instructions and dependencies are listed - seems easy enough.

Hava a look at using dd (disk duplicator)

A very high-level show of what you can do with it is here.

Keep in mind, this is dangerous if used incorrectly - affectionately called Disk Destroyer if not careful.

I for one, appreciate books (if indeed it's going to be in print).
The more there are, the better the coverage. No two books are the same and present (more often than not) differing perspectives on the same material.
I commend the attempt and will consider how I can contribute.

Maybe the question should be, why would openssh need systemd support? I never did prior to systemd For reliable operation under systemd? I don't know. I'm not a developer. I am just a simple user asking simple questions. I don't profess to know the answers, but I can certainly ask what seems to be ...

Bookmark this for those times when the argument is made that freezing software versions is a security risk. Nah, I think I'll file it under "Why gratuitously linking everything against systemd is a bad idea". As per the KISS principle, security-critical packages like openssh (or, ya know,...

Reflect on this thread.

Now yer just talking trash

@qoozh - If you don't want to have any (or some) of the directories created, simply comment the ones you don't want to be created, out. For the others that are already created, simply delete them.

I'd be curious to know if you see it listed in synaptic. If its shown there, there is a chance to remove it. Have you tried dpkg also? I assume you have but thought it worth mentioning. Also worth noting, there may be an uninstall script somewhere where the app resides. Doesn't happen often, but som...

I think @NorthEast hit it right on the money (assuming translate actually means translated based on the languages the Op has setup during install).

Authy does not appear to be in packages from buster through experimental, therefore, unsupported by Debian and appears to be a snap, and since it appears to be a snap (also appears to still be in Beta (?))
you might be better severed via SnapCraft OR from the folks that created Authy.

For home networking with a "minimal" front end, I like UrBackup. For the most part, its a front end for rsync. Of course, there is BackupPC. A bit more complex with the ability to backup clients. Rsnapshot (as mentioned above) and rdiff backup, both of which I have used at various times in...

I happened to have inherited my dad's Machinist (Tool & Die) tool box. There are some fairly old files in there

There is also FreeTube

...can be decompiled but that would mean someone taking the time to do all that. ... I do believe I covered that with the above. Extracting strings from compiled C doesn't require any decompiling at all, or access to the source for that matter. A simple 'strings <binary>' will dump any plaintext, a...
