I use external hard drives. Two of them, and they get rsynced every time something changes, so there’s a copy if one drive should fail. Once a month, I encrypt the whole shebang with gpg and send it off into an AWS bucket.

Terminator for me. It has tiles and tabs and does everything I need.

Shamed be he who thinks naughty of it. 🤣

I have been using Terminator for years now, because you can easily slice and dice the window into several terminals, and it is reasonably configurable. But then, as I am completely happy with it, I never ventured out to find an even better one, so YMMV.

The shareholders of the pharma-industry will not be happy. You have to manage a disease, not heal it; that would be detrimental for the balance sheet.

And unhappy shareholders of big pharma is definitely not what we want; if they are happy, we will be happy.

Thre could be two other things that I can think of:

Permissions maybe: Try “sudo chmod +x /path/yourscript.sh” to make your script explicitly executable.

Also, the environment of cron doing something may be different from when you do it as root or user. So you should always use the full path to every command in your script; like “/bin/tar” instead of just “tar”. To find out, where things are, you can use “whereis tar”, and it will tell you, whether it’s in /bin, /usr/bin or elsewhere.

I switched two of our boxes over to Debian “Bookworm”. And so far, I am completely happy with the change. On desktop, it’s still a little rough around the edges, and a few oddities need to be ironed out here and there, but that’s nothing compared with the ocean of pain that were snaps for me and my company.

Still a little nostalgic, though, after 17 years of Ubuntu 🫠
