Truly a productive day it was, starting with those abstracts of the fence at the netball courts, old homesteads, my first Wedge Tailed eagle shots, the echidna, 'that' road sign. And then this on the way back home. Had to stop for it.
(And there are more to process yet from earlier in the day.)
Lange Dürrephasen oder plötzlich einsetzender Starkregen: Auch für Gärtner sind die Folgen des Klimawandels eine Herausforderung. Was braucht es, damit der Garten auch in Zukunft eine kleine Oase sein kann? Von Katharina Bruns.
Also hier scheint ein Hobby zu sein den Vorgarten sowie den Garten möglichst zuzupflastern. Wirklich verstanden haben die meisten das Problem offenkundig nicht ...
Gute Nachricht: nichts davon ist neu und alles gut erprobt. Methoden aus der #Permakultur kommen hier wieder im Mainstream #Garten an. Einen wichtigen Punkt hat sie nicht erwähnt: bei Beeten & Hecken, Erde nie unbedeckt lassen - Bodendecker nutzen und/oder mulchen: mit gehäckseltem Grünschnitt, Rasenschnitt, Laub, Heu, Stroh oder Rindenmulch. Das hält Wasser im Boden und erhöht den Humus Anteil im Boden - womit Wasser noch schneller versickert und besser gebunden wird. #Servicetoot

Les brebinouches (Blanquette, Paupiette, Chouquette et Corneto) ont faim et malgré les quelques pluies de ses derniers jours, l'herbe n'a pas encore repris sa pousse. Ça fait un mois que je leurs donne des branches de frêne. Elles se jettent dessus. (Et ne touchent pas du tout aux jeunes noyers qui sont dans leur enclos xD).
Sinon elles aiment bien le maïs aussi, mais bon, c'est plus connu.

Cos’è la Sfinge del galio e dove vive? Fotografare la Sfinge del galio è stata una sfida tosta per via della sua incredibile velocità e resistenza, oltre alle ridotte dimensioni di appena 4 cm. È un lepidottero perennemente in volo, batte le ali fino a 85 volte al secondo, raggiunge i 55 km/h, si sposta continuamente e visita centinaia di fiori in pochi minuti per soddisfare il suo enorme fabbisogno energetico.

Il Giubilaico si apre con i saluti del segretario UAAR Roberto Grendene e la celebrazione del XX settembre: una data fondamentale nella storia italiana che non è più festa nazionale dal 1930.
Just added! Large broken heart pairs! Give the other half to another, sew them on opposite sleeves or collar points or whatever your creativity thinks of.
These regional dwellers must eventually ask themselves: are they pioneers of the heartland, the common clay of the new west, salt of the earth, or, just, you know, morons.
The image features two men in a close-up shot. The man on the left has a dark complexion and short, curly black hair, wearing a light-colored shirt. The man on the right has light-colored, curly hair and is wearing a brown shirt. Both men are looking directly at the camera with serious expressions. The background is blurred, focusing attention on the two men. At the bottom of the image, there is text that reads: "These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons." ― The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Donald J. Trump's verified account. The tweet is about Governor Mike Kehoe of Missouri, who won six times, including with 1.8 million votes in 2024, the most in history. The tweet mentions a special session to pass a new, fairer, and improved Congressional map for Missouri, aiming to elect an additional MAGA Republican in the 2026 Midterm Elections. The tweet concludes with "A HUGE VICTORY for our America."
The image also includes a map of Missouri, with counties shaded in red and blue, indicating political affiliations. The counties are numbered, with one county highlighted in blue, suggesting a change in political representation. The map is detailed, showing the boundaries of each county.

#JonathanCook | Even the media's Gaza 'investigations' hide the real story of Israel's atrocities
"These are the straws that western leaders, and the large contingent of genocide apologists in western professional circles, including journalists, so desperately clutch at.
Because otherwise it would be only too clear that they have been cheerleading – and assisting – a genocide for two years."
The atrocity news treadmill makes sure western media are so busy chasing after Israel’s latest crime in Gaza they never pause long enough to piece together the bigger story of genocide
The image displays a mobile application interface featuring a player profile. At the top, there is a header with a score of 0-2, a team logo, and a player's rating of 8.0. The player's profile shows a circular image of Joel Chima Fujita, with his name, position (DM), country (Japan), and age (23) below it. A blue badge indicates he was Player of the Match with a rating of 8.0. The "Player fact" section states his achievement. The "Top stats" section lists his performance metrics: 90 minutes played, 0 goals, 0.02 expected goals (xG), 1 assist, 0.18 expected assists (xA), 43/54 accurate passes (80%), 1 chance created, 1 big chance created, 0 shots on target, and 1 shot off target.

Now look I'm not trying to give you false hope. But I'm just saying I have a very particular songlist queued up and ready to go and it has "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead" on it.
Does anyone have recommendations for Windows full-volume/system backup tools that are friendly to syncing to offsite backups?
I'm currently using Veeam agent. It works fine locally, but then I use restic to sync the backups over to offsite. The problem is that the way it manages backup lifetime is by taking the oldest full backup and "merging" in the next incremental (and renaming the file to the next date), to keep the total backup count constant. That means every day, Restic has to process a new "full backup" file.
Thanks to deduplication it doesn't actually copy the whole thing, it still only backs up changed chunks, but it still has to read and hash 1TB+ of data which takes hours...
If it only did this weekly or something (having a variable backup count across the week and only cleaning up weekly) then it'd be fine, but daily is a bit too much...
I'd missed this, but apparently Veeam can be configured to do monthly full backups, and in that case it *should* not touch the old incremental chain until it falls off the schedule. Maybe this is all I really need?
Yeah, I think this works. Last night's backup didn't consolidate anything any more. Tomorrow is a new month, so it should do a new full backup and then go on that cycle.
All good! The new full backup was 470GB (a lot of files were moved off of this drive, used to be 1.4TB), and of that 167GB was copied to the repo (156GB compressed, no surprise it's not very different because Veeam itself compresses). So the full backup approach works, and restic's dedup and chunking plays well enough with Veeam's format, even with compression.
sadly, I don't know of any already made solution, but if you have the time, writing one is not impossible. Veeam backup, most likely uses Windows VSS (volume shadow copy services) which creates a copy-on-write snapshot of volumes. If it's block level backup you're looking for, then it probably chunks the entire volume, takes note of empty chunks, copies non empty ones, creates a state file in which you save the ID, use that ID in the next incremental backup to get only changed blocks.
On the bckp site, you can periodically squash the (initial)full backup and it's immediate child bckp to keep the number of backups constant.
To restore, you can compose a raw disk file from the base backup and apply each incremental backup on top. This can be optimized if you walk through the state files, and take only the final offsets of blocks to the point in time you want to restore to and apply them on your base backup. If bkup 1,2,3,5 all changed block X, you only neex blk X from 5.

Ho appena finito di leggere un articolo su un sito web solitamente affidabile, eppure ho un leggero sospetto che sia stato scritto, in tutto o in parte, con l’IA. Che tristezza… 😞
andrà sempre peggio perché lo sforzo richiesto per la stesura di un testo verrà percepito come qualcosa di noioso e fine a se stesso, le conseguenze saranno gravi, non solo per le nuove generazioni.
@ramocalnasip Sì, anche io credo che sarà sempre peggio (l'ho già scritto anche qui più di una volta). Penso che Internet come l'abbiamo conosciuto stia morendo. Le ricerche sul web saranno sempre più potenziate con l'IA il che disincentiverà l'esistenza dei piccoli siti web, il calo del traffico inoltre costringerà le redazioni dei grandi siti web a tagliare i professionisti in spingendo sempre di più verso contenuti generati dall'IA. I contenuti saranno sempre più simili uno con l'altro.
@ramocalnasip Voglio però anche essere positivo! Intravedo anche una possibilità per il web indipendente (quello dei blog e degli appassionati) di continuare a fare rete per continuare a leggere, scoprire ed ispirare contenuti veri che non siano generati dall'IA. Anche se più in piccolo questo tipo di web ha tutte le carte in regola per sopravvivere. 😉
