2021 Is Coming to its End: Time for the Yearly Backups!

 This year has only a few days left.  That means I have to complete the yearly backups.

I still remember the old days, when backups were not fun at all. I mean, I had to format my Windows computer every 6 months and thus, having backups was vital because eventualities would occur regularly.

Right now, although I keep my backing up practice (which I highly recommend to everyone), I haven't had the need to restore from them in years.  In fact, I even have cloned images of my Linux systems that I place on different computers. Thus, if anything happens, I just insert a live USB and install my system with all the configurations.  I keep the files on different media.

Tomorrow I will do the backup of the latest files and I will be ready for next year.

On a different note, I found this image.  That penguin looks familiar! 😜  I guess you can find Linux everywhere now! 

 

 

Bye, Old Router!

My wired connection suddenly went out, along with my main wireless connection, two weeks ago.  Fortunately, I still had another wireless connection, which served me to complete my work while I tried to locate the problem.

It turned out that the problem was my router.  After 18+ years of continuous work, it died. Today I bought a new one and installed it.  I had configured the old one on Windows, with a disc it came with.  To set up the new router, I used Firefox on my little laptop, powered by Linux.

Everything worked without a problem. This is my first network setup using Linux!
