  • Haha, maybe there some IDE to PCI converters? If you have to need, that is. 🙈

  • And they also easily become bricked and unusable... Discs definitely are reliable. :)

  • DVDs don't seem to be on the brink of extinction in the same way floppys are, so I think you're good! :) What art do you do? :D

  • What's your latest rare find that you made a copy of? :D

  • I had never even heard of radio subscriptions before. :O

  • I agree. It's just some much simpler to use a thumb drive. However, I also agree with those that comment that they are prone to bricking and malfunction of some sort.

  • You are a gold mine to your friends! :D

  • Just when you think you know something about networking, it turns out you don't know sh*t. XD

    Thank you for your exquisite explanation and for immediately realizing what I had been misunderstanding!

  • Sweet! I still haven't started doing offsite physical backups. I do have backups locally and encrypted in a third party cloud, but no physical copies...

  • Your descendants will thank you! :D

  • Last thing I burned was, I think, C&C Generals and a backup of "My Documents" haha back in the days...

  • No way! You got those storage units! Rad! :D

  • Cool! Are floppys still being manufactured? I'd love to make a rescue boot floppy for when I need to do maintenance on my system!

  • Found the -R version too.

  • If these are UTP, I demand a screenshot of cat /proc/net/dev and of some third party packet checking software that measures crosstalk and bit error. 😂

  • Thank you so much for your words of encouragement! It's an ongoing process, trying to learn to take care of myself while also being a good Samaritan.

    Also, I have the utmost respect for people that in any shape or form work with healthcare. Keep up the good work! God knows, we need you, especially after having seen how many of us were incapable of following simple sanitary routines like washing hands, coughing/sneezing into our arms, wearing masks and what have you...

  • Good question. I haven't used custom hooks myself, but I believe you are correct. The alpm (Arch Linux Package Management) hooks manual states:

    Hooks are read from files located in the system hook directory /usr/share/libalpm/hooks, and additional custom directories specified in pacman.conf(5) (the default is /etc/pacman.d/hooks).

    So I guess the blog post means to say, that hooks are not supposed to be added automatically at installation of a package.
