The article explains how to effectively use rsync on Linux for keeping folders synchronized, providing ten practical patterns ranging from simple local mirroring to automated remote backups. It covers core options like -a, -v, --delete, compression with -z, progress indicators, and checksum verification, showing real‑world scenarios such as photo libraries, web servers, and large database transfers. The piece also introduces advanced techniques, including hard‑linked snapshots via rsnapshot, excluding directories like node_modules and .git, scheduling cron jobs with lockfiles, monitoring throughput with pv, performing dry runs, and cleaning up old backups automatically. Throughout, the author offers concise commands, explains why each flag matters, and shares personal anecdotes to illustrate how these strategies prevent data loss and save storage space.
The tutorial explains how to create a new user on Arch Linux that can use sudo for administrative tasks. First it makes sure the sudo package is installed, then it adds a fresh account to the wheel group and gives it its own home directory. After that you enable the wheel line in /etc/sudoers with visudo, taking care not to edit the file directly because a typo could lock you out. Finally, the guide shows how to switch to the new user and run commands like `sudo whoami` or `sudo pacman -Syu` to confirm everything works and that you have safe, elevated privileges without logging in as root.
This guide explains how to install FFmpeg on Fedora 36 by adding the RPM Fusion repository, because the default Fedora repos omit many essential codecs. It walks through installing EPEL and RPM Fusion, then using dnf to pull ffmpeg, ffprobe, and optional development headers, and checking that the build contains libx264 and libx265. For advanced users it also shows how to compile FFmpeg from source with GPL and nonfree options, while a section on common pitfalls lists fixes for missing libraries or command‑not‑found errors. Finally the article notes that Ubuntu and Arch users can simply use their package managers, emphasizing the importance of choosing a repository that bundles all necessary codecs to avoid future conversion headaches.
This guide walks Fedora 36 users through installing the latest Go compiler while avoiding the older packages that often ship in Fedora’s default repositories. It first recommends enabling RPM Fusion to get a current rpm package, then shows how to verify the installation with `go version`. If adding a third‑party repo isn’t desired, it explains downloading the official tarball from golang.org, extracting it into `/usr/local`, and updating the PATH in `~/.profile`. Finally, it offers quick sanity checks for a working Go environment and tips on keeping the compiler up to date with either `dnf upgrade` or repeated tarball installs.
This article walks readers through a streamlined way to install the AnyDesk remote‑desktop client on Debian 11 Bullseye by downloading the official .deb package directly from AnyDesk’s site. It begins by fetching the latest stable build with a single curl command, then installing it via dpkg while gracefully handling missing dependencies with apt‑get install -f, and even offers an optional GPG signature check to ensure authenticity. The guide highlights common pitfalls such as missing Qt libraries, provides commands to resolve them, and suggests a quick shortcut for launching AnyDesk from the terminal or application launcher. Finally, it reminds users how to keep the client up‑to‑date using apt update and upgrade anydesk, closing with a friendly invitation to enjoy smooth remote sessions on Bullseye.
