Here's how I would approach this problem:
Dedicate 110% of my time to writing code to analyse every transaction and categorise it, and export to whatever format is required.
Use it for about 2 months, maintaining the code and adding different categories.
Quit using it after 3 months because my habits changed and just deal with the ambiguous financials indefinitely.
I hope there is better advice here.
Try a squeeze of lemon, half an orange, a little honey, a half-pinch of salt (it's really that little salt, it is just the tiniest bit to bring out the flavour) and about 2 drops of lysergic acid diethylamide. You'll thank me later.
I love it when corporations get told to go fuck themselves, I just wish it was by someone I actually respected.
'running the X into the ground' actually has a term, it's called elonning.
Ok time to investigate ZFS
For fun and learning. It's just another tool to go with file level backup.
And the backup for this is 40mb and really fast, but backing up files even when compressed would be hundreds of GB, maybe terabytes, and then you're paying for that amount of storage online somewhere, uploading for hours..
Great tips, thanks!
I'm using ext4 across everything I think.
Can you enable superblocks after you've already formatted the drive?
Fdisk saves the offsets so keeping a record of that at least sounds like a good idea.
The script takes the drives as arguments:
$ pwd
/usr/lib/systemd/system
$ cat drive_backup.service
[Unit]
Description=backup fdisk + e2image
Wants=drive_backup.timer
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/backup_meta_data.sh /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdb1
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Set to run at 3:40am every day, but probably could be once weekly really.
$ cat drive_backup.timer
[Unit]
Description=timer to run drive backup
Requires=drive_backup.service
[Timer]
Unit=drive_backup.service
OnCalendar=*-*-* 03:40:00
[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target
Should be fairly self-explanatory.
$ cat /usr/bin/backup_meta_data.sh
#!/bin/bash
working_dir=/home/st/drive_recovery/working
backup_dir=/home/st/drive_recovery
backup_date=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M)
mkdir -p $working_dir
sudo fdisk -x > $working_dir/$backup_date.fdisk
for var in "$@"
do
clean=$(echo $var | sed 's;/;-;g')
sudo e2image $var $working_dir/$backup_date.$clean
done
sudo 7z a $backup_dir/$backup_date.archive $working_dir/"$backup_date"*
sudo rm $working_dir/"$backup_date"*
Although I haven't smoked a cigar for over a decade, I do appreciate having the option to buy a genuine Cuban cigar.
Definitely in support of removing combustible tobacco products though.
the right ... is completely disingenuous about why they support it
Are they ever ingenuous?
the men in their life just wont let them go to public buildings (including schools) anymore
This one is the most likely outcome.
FYI, LTT did a video showing ex crypto cards are totally fine. But let's keep that between us so the second hand market for those cards keeps low prices.
Yes.. I just realised that X has two meanings now. Wait.. 3.
