Your works are nothing short of wonder. I would describe this not as another genre of memes, but a whole another dimension of shitposting only a few are able to observe and appreciate. You wield opportunities as countless as memes themselves and possess a remarkable sense of humour and talent to compose prose that introduce a entirely new perspective for the viewers. You are a living rendition of what a 19th century novelist would be were they given access to the modern day internet.

To have a priceless person as you on the fediverse is a blessing. For me to have witnessed your art is even more so.

This is splendid. Your words match the quality of dialogues from Disco Elysium. It must’ve feel like a true talent being able to conjure sentences with such vividness for any topic you encounter.

I feel like I could read shitposts like this for hours.

I can attest to it. Lately my server needed to be repaired and got its entire disk wiped. Fortunately I managed to back up my compose files and bind mounts. After reinstalling the OS and transferring the backed up contents, I ran ‘docker compose up’ and eventually everything came back up exactly how they were when being backed up. Even the Postgres backup of Joplin was recovered purely from its bind mount.

Yes

I guess I’ll start backing up my stuff like you told me. At least could you point me in the right direction by recommending a suitable backup solution that preferably is compatible in both Windows and Linux and is beginner friendly?

You’ve got no choice other than to grind it out and get your shit organized.

I didn’t want to believe it, but sadly it’s true. It’s going to take a long time for me to search for all my files, but if it’s the only right way to go, then so be it.

Despite the poor name, File History is actually a legitimate backup solution offered by Windows.

I’m stating that the vendor lock-in nature of this backup prevents me from directly importing this backup from Windows to Linux.

I think I have misued the word ‘critical’ in my comment. I wish to correct it by stating I simply have documents and photos important to me that I wish to preserve like any other person. It’s just that I am not in a financial situation to keep three separate copies of my data, excluding the hard drive I’m lending only for the migration.

I also want to state that I am not looking for a backup solution in this post. I simply wish to transfer my files from Windows to Linux and was hoping for a tool to automate the process of doing so.

The only backup solution Windows readily gives me is made in a manner that locks me in their ecosystem so I can’t really use it to migrate to Linux. Could you suggest a different solution perhaps?

My only viable backup strategy for Windows so far is to use the File History option in the Control Panel to create incremental backups of my system. There are two issues with this approach with regard to using it for migration:

1. Not all directories to be backed up are accounted for. I’ve set the backup so that only the most important files in the default directories are saved in case something happens to the system. I could consider manually including the missing entries if not for the second issue:
2. The backups can only be read within the File History menu. The backups themselves are stored in a semi-gibberish manner so it is impractical for me to have it read in Linux, unless there is already a solution for it. Otherwise these backups force me to continue using Windows.

I understand the importance of backups and regularly practice doing so, even if not to the fullest extent. However this scenario is different, where I am actively migrating all my data to a different platform. I need to make sure no data is left behind in the process, including data that I normally don’t back up separately, like user configuration for applications or game saves.

What I am looking for is a program that readily makes my Windows data ready for migration to Linux by fetching the files from directories where user data and application data is stored and stores it in a platform-agnostic manner in some external location.

Just like Zeus and Odysseus!

How do you actually play this game? I’m not into card games in general but this one seems oddly interesting

I think you misspelt ‘terrific’

I unironically have a wallpaper just like that. I love taking screenshots of games I play and putting them on my desktop. Some of them tend to be rather bright, but they get covered by other windows most of the time so they aren’t really a bother.

That is a behemoth of a homelab you have set up there. My jaw would’ve dropped out if it could.

And I still refuse to use the ‘Complete and Instant Annihilation of the Final Boss’ potion since I may need it in the future.

Thanks for your response. I already have Joplin synced with my server as a solution for my documentation. However I meant to ask how you structure your documentation, know what and how to mention, and organise it for future reference.
