You’ll have to forgive me, as I haven’t tested this personally on Linux yet, but this webcam is a USB 3 device and doesn’t have any special drivers. It should work plug-n-play.

The reason I bring it to your attention is that it has a nice physical lens for focusing, aperture, and zoom; all separate. It’s 4k 30 fps and I can confirm that the picture is really nice.

Would this work

Yes.

or would I have problems

Also yes.

I used to do this backing up my “servers”. By that I mean some Raspberry Pis and random old PCs running Debian. I even did so successfully when needing to restore the images. But it was fragile and also failed at times, sometimes to great inconvenience when it was a machine serving something important.

I’ve since moved to a different backup strategy for servers, but if I were to do this with a bare-metal machine I want to preserve, I’d use something like Clonezilla. The maintainers of that project know a whole heck of a lot more than I do of the ins and outs of disk management, backup, and restoration than I do with my simple dd commands. If it is something you’re just wanting to do for fun and experience, dd can work. If you’re concerned with the security of your data/image, I’d use Clonezilla.

Just recommended the audio book to my library. Thanks.

I don’t think that Libby itself is. There’s DRM and while there is probably a way to strip it, I don’t think that is easy and/or publicly shared. But Overdrive, which is Libby’s predecessor, allows for DRM free MP3 downloads. But they’ve been trying to sunset Overdrive for a long time. The Windows desktop program needed to download the MP3 files is no longer linked on their site, for example (but is still downloadable if you know the exact link). I’m honestly not sure why it even still works unless it’s to comply with some ancient contract they have with a library somewhere.

Unironically the library. Then just use something like Audiobookshelf to organize your collection.

I’m still salty that we never got a proper sequel to the original Prey.

The point of federation is to connect different servers. Lemmy is not one website. It is many different websites that happen to share data. A link being posted to multiple websites is fine.

Maybe if you’re seeing too many duplicate links, you’re subscribed to too many duplicate magazines/subs/servers.

I think I saw this in a Bugs Bunny cartoon once.

Right here. He’s the head of the administration giving them access to the weapons to carry the genocide out. At best he is abetting a genocide. At worst a willing participant.

Literally mistaking nostalgia as a government/globalist conspiracy. She is not mentally well.

Holy cow. That’s wild. Thanks!

As always, there is an XKCD for that.

It’s me. Even down to compiling ffmpeg myself.
