How do i make a backupand?
Don’t you hate it when your computer gets all bricked up?
Or the router, in another state, and the person with access to the closet/server room knows how to push a few buttons at best.
That happens once… and you get misconfigophobia for life.
FYI with many routers, switches, and firewalls there are ways to automatically rollback changes in case the device is unreachable after applying them. Usually the command is called something like “Rollback”.
You usually supply a time limit when you run the command and if you don’t confirm the changes before that time limit it will rollback. So if you run rollback 30 and then do something which breaks the network connection, the config will rollback in 30 seconds. If it does work, you simply cancel the rollback.
You can help keep things regular just by adding a little fiber to your network.
If that’s not an option, open a tab to metamucil.io and download a couple packets twice a day.
Brick, laugh, love
As a linux noob, I am developing the spider sense of telling when a solution is something reliable and when it’s something that will fuck me up 3 months down the line.
It’s been… Interesting. I still haven’t figured out what’s the sane way to have multiple CUDA coexist peacefully…
Like how I used GDM-Settings on Pop_OS without knowing GDM-Settings is for OLD gdm, and now I have to use LightDM because I can’t find the config files that are broken in GDM that cause it to have no styling and be black font with trails anytime something moves?
(and yes I have reinstalled it, gnome-shell, pop-theme, etc even with forcing dpkg to re-write over config files. I’ve manually gone through and deleted config files and reinstalled to redownload them, I cannot get GDM back to even default GDM let alone the pop version.)
See this is the exact sort of problem I always had with different flavours of Ubuntu. I’d always muck up my install with misconfigured shit and it would be too much time and effort to fix so I’d have to nuke the whole OS every now and then 😜
I honestly just wish there was some really good GDM docs I could find to make it easy to reset it to default.
The Arch wiki may have some ideas for you - tl;dr is that GDM uses a global dconf db over in /etc/ and this might be the root of your problem (these configs might not get cleaned up with a --purge?) I’m a LightDM user so best I can do to help: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GDM#dconf_configuration
