I just switched to rsync for backups instead of my old trusted tar backup command because I again read about it at Coding Horror.
Advantages? Many.
Less data to save because I don’t have months-old incremental backups lying around
Live backup (without need to unpack)

I just noticed my desktop computer has Cool’n’Quiet support and I never enabled it in BIOS, even though it works in Linux.

print nodes
My question is: Why do I have to do this? My XML contains a [...]
I have to apologize to my readers.
