Backups with restic

We just recently began to use restic as our main backup solution at home. I'm posting this mostly to document the configuration for myself. Anyone interested in using restic should thoroughly read the documentation before proceeding.

By default, backups are run with encryption and compression enabled. Although many people have all hosts in a multi-host network sharing a single repo, I chose to separate them out (to limit the impact of any future data corruption and simplify security configuration).

In Adobe Flash Player versions newer than 32.0.0.344 they added a "Timebomb" for the EOL. the player would refuse to run any custom flash content after 12/01/2021, instead it would just show this

So knowing this, Lets crack it!

I acturally started looking into this before the 12/01/2021 hit, but only recently did i acturally discover a way to bypass the killswitch

(also- im aware i was not the first to do this, but i still did do it)

# Here's a probably-not-new data structure I discovered after implementing weight-balanced trees with
# amortized subtree rebuilds (e.g. http://jeffe.cs.illinois.edu/teaching/algorithms/notes/10-scapegoat-splay.pdf)
# and realizing it was silly to turn a subtree into a sorted array with an in-order traversal only as an
# aid in constructing a balanced subtree in linear time. Why not replace the subtree by the sorted array and
# use binary search when hitting that leaf array? Then you'd defer any splitting of the array until inserts and
# deletes hit that leaf array. Only in hindsight did I realize this is similar to the rope data structure for strings.
# Unlike ropes, it's a key-value search tree for arbitrary ordered keys.
#
# The main attraction of this data structure is its simplicity (on par with a standard weight-balanced tree) and that it
# coalesces subtrees into contiguous arrays, which reduces memory overhead and boosts the performance of in-order traversals

You may notice a decidedly Nintendo bias to the examples. I can't change who I am.

What is Speedrunning?

Speedrunning is:

• Completing a video game

1. Install prettier
2. Make a .prettierignore file, and add directories you'd like prettier to not format, for example: **/node_modules
3. Run prettier --write "**/*.js" *Don't forget the quotes.
4. Optional: if you want to format JSON/SCSS files too, replace js with json/scss.

1. Clone project

2. Checkout all branches that contain the files that should be moved

3. Delete the remote

4. Run the filter-branch command:

   git filter-branch --tree-filter 'mkdir -p /path/to/tmp; mv * /path/to/tmp; mkdir subdir; mv /path/to/tmp/* subdir/' --tag-name-filter cat --prune-empty -- --all

   • All files are first copied to a temporary dir and move from there to the new destination

• Existing tags are updated
