Welcome to the IHoP v.2

If you still can vote, I vote to move the fucking thing where it isn't seen for a week or two so that it won't get bumped up.

Not my cup of tea, but very clean and the price seems reasonable.

different wheels..  totally different stereo..  and its me all day... im not into bags  but..

 

 what dont you like about it

 

Pretty much everything.  Most older vehicles I like stock.

[///M5 2,833]

Come on Ryan, I know you love the stereo and the steering wheel. Probably the uber thick tires as well, not to mention a mismatched wheel for the car.

As for the idea of the car and what it could be, I also love. Probably not hard to get that one there either.

Just took a quiz that shows you the region of america you most closely talk like. Of course Texas was burning red. It said the place I talk LEAST like was Minneapolis/ St. Paul lol

The 3 most similar cities are Buffalo (where I am from), Rochester NY, or Milwuakee.

The turkey from the egg came out awesome. I thought it was going to be too smokey but it turned out great. If you Google.naked whiz turkey I followed that recipe. I made the gravy too but I found it a bit weird.

A guy at work gave me a Toshiba A215 laptop. He said he didn't know what was wrong with it but if I could fix it, it's mine.

 

I ordered a $10 charger off Amazon, and plugged it in. I got a few blinking lights and that's it so I went tearing into it.  I broke it all the way down and found one resistor (I think) that looks like it may have been burnt. does this look like something that is fixable? I am in desperate need of a laptop and if I can fix this on the cheap I'll roll with it.

another idea for a cheap laptop. http://stores.ebay.com/Gilco-4020

 

from what my friend told me this guy has a contract with the govt to sell off old hardware. most of the laptops will be missing the hdd but otherwise fine. core 2 duo is still a pretty strong cpu. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Latitude-E6400-Core-2-Duo-P8700-2-53GHz-4GB-RAM-INCOMPLETE-LAPTOP-/171194843023?pt=Laptops_Nov05&hash=item27dc01ff8f

 

pull the os and hdd off that one and you got a pretty decent laptop on the cheap. 

 

there are few stores under similar names. gilco 4040 4030 4050 etc.

That is cheaper than I expected, but I was hoping to be able to some how put in a new resistor and try it out. At $30 for the mobo I think I may just try to sell it on ebay for parts.

Merry Christmas all!!!

I should probably thank Sean for this gift.

Hey Stefan, I have 2 seagate external HDDs (500gb each).

 

I want to leave one connected to my ubuntu machine all the time. The other I want to be able to plug in and run a script or something that will auto-backup the other HDD (only files that changed).

 

It seems like it should be really simple overall.

This is an overview of the most common options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem Scroll down to "backup utilities."

 

So hdd1 will be in the computer with the linux partitions, and you want to be able to plug hdd2 into a dock and have it automatically backup hdd1? Do you want all the partitions copied so if hdd1 died you could simply plug in hdd2 and be on your way? Or do you want hdd2 just for backing up important files, like your porn collection?

[ssh 924]

If you just want to backup one directory (which could just be the entire partition if you did "/") then you could do:

sudo rsync -azvv /home/importantshit /media/hdd2

This would only backup files that have been changed.

Oh and you can use rsync to backup files to a remote host via ssh.

Edited December 25, 2013 by ssh

[ssh 924]

Then you could save that as "backup" or what ever you want to call it, chmod +x the file, and run it from the terminal like ./backup, or make a new item on the gnome panel for running it.

Keeping with you naming conventions.

Hdd1 = Linux drive

Hdd2 = external always plugged in

Hdd3 = external for back up

Both are external drives and hdd2 has "important" files. I'd like to run a music server off of it so it would be nice if hdd2 failed I could plug in hdd3 and off I go, but at the basic level in only care that the files are backed up and I can store the HDD elsewhere until I want to run a backup.

That would mean saving that as a "program" called back up that I could simply run by typing ./backup in terminal or making a "shortcut" in Ubuntu?
