I am using #btrfs on all of my #guix devices.
I've bought 12TB hard drive and want to set up #backups for some volumes of each device. Backups supposed to be send over network on my own local wireguard VPN. I know it's possible to write all the scripts myself, I just don't want to deal with that network part and prefer to use software correctly, rather than writing it.
From what I've found #borgmatic https://torsion.org/borgmatic is closest match to what I want. Any suggestions?
I've started editing Wikipedia articles to correct or add information, mostly about retro computer stuff as that's all I'm questionably an expert in.
I'd encourage you if you know a lot about a certain topic or are an expert in some field - take an hour of your week to contribute. Our collective knowledge as a species feels like it is under assault from all sides lately.
I've officially released my real-mode emulator CPU test suite for the Intel 80386.
https://github.com/singlesteptests/80386
The test suite includes 941 test files - (406 opcodes plus operand size and address size prefix combinations) comprising 1,758,700 individual, heuristically-generated instruction tests, all of them containing cycle exact captures of the execution of a real 386 CPU.
i gotta go to work, this is as far as i got this morning:
10 rem starmap.bas
20
30 rem the galaxy array
40
50 dim g(255,255)
60
70 rem the arrays for galaxy element coords
80
90 dim e(20)
100 dim f(20)
110
120 rem initialise the galaxy
130
140 rem blank out every array element in g
150
160 for b = 0 to 255
170 for c = 0 to 255
180 let g(b,c) = 0
190 next c
200 next b
210
220 rem generate the positions of some stars
230
240 for i = 0 to 19
250 b = int(rnd(1)*255)
260 c = int(rnd(1)*255)
270 if g(b,c) <> 0 then goto 250
280 g(b,c) = 2 rem element is a star
290 e(i)=b
300 f(i)=c
310 next i
320
330

@randyridenour Very nice.
A perfect example of what we used to call "personal computing:" the user writes simple code to compute results that meet a personal need.
I say again: Emacs brings the spirit and practice of its contemporaries, the Commodore 64 and the Apple II, into the twenty-first century.
Good morning fediverse!
There seems to be an increase of Joseph Stalin propaganda on the public timeline here, lol.
