I wouldn’t say bullshit

KDE connect is fairly obscure

You could put it into the archinstall script and just never finish the installation if there is no age set. You could also prevent a user from logging into an account that has no age set, this could be achived by modified core packages in the base package.

My (rather limited) understanding is that Arch can be installed both without the archinstall script and without a user. Also, the rest of your comment covers how stupid it is to require a value anyway since people can put whatever they want.

Outside of that, it’s all open source. It’s possible to fork and remove the field entirely from an install script, distro, or even systemd itself.

Nobody can enforce this in the open source world. This is honestly the strongest argument for an open source exemption in these laws. It cannot be enforced on open source OSs.

Yes. But it would protect them from legal liability.

Got a framework. Migrated all my data over using rustic.

It was fairly easy. I used rustic to back up my entire home directory to a USB flash drive.

The trick is to ensure that all applications (except KDE) are closed. Firefox, for example, really hates if you try to actively sync or copy over it’s profile directories while it is running.

And then I also nuked my podman user data. (podman system reset). Podman sometimes makes the ownership of it’s files weird, but also the container images take up a lot of space that I don’t really care about actually backing up. It’s okay if those aren’t on the new laptop.

Then I backed up to the usb flash drive:

rustic init -r /path/to/repo — this will prompt you for a password

rustic backup -r /path/to/repo /home/moonpie

One cool thing about the backups is that they are deduplicated and compressed. So I backed up 120 gb of data, but it was compressed to 80 gb.

restic snapshots -r /path/to/repo

The snapshots are deduplicated as well. Data that doesn’t change between snapshot versions, doesn’t take up any extra space.

rustic restore -r /path/to/repo snapshotid /

The / is needed because rustic restores to paths underneath the thing. It gave me a bunch of permission errors about not being able to read stuff not in my home directory, but eventually it restored all of my data.

And then yeah. All my data. Except Wifi passwords, which I had stored as unencrypted for all users, because I didn’t like having to unlock the KDE wallet to get to Wifi passwords when connecting. I had (and have) LUKS encryption so I didn’t worry about that too much. But it means that data not in my home directory was not copied over.

It was surprisingly smooth, and now I have all my data and firefox profiles and stuff on the new machine.

Not sure you should use rustic over restic man, trading stability for performance isn’t a good idea when it comes to backups

Do you have any examples of rustic having bugs that eat data? I couldn’t find any precedent when I searched, which is part of why I used rustic.

restic is in go, rustic is in rust, both are memory safe typed languages.

I’m also enjoying season 2 more than season 1. Season 1 had a good twist/premise, but by the end I didn’t care much for most characters. However season 2 has been focusing on the above world and those characters I’ve really liked.

I wasn’t sure after season 1 if I wanted to watch season 2, but unless the final episodes complete screw everything up I’m excited for season 3.
