  • I’ve been trying to wrap my head around this part and what it means for cause and effect for a while. I think Feynman said something like a photon is only ever emitted when the source and destination agree to exchange one. Which makes sense if the exchange is instantaneous to the photon. But how can billions of years pass for us in the mean time?



  • I use backupninja for the scheduling and management of all the processes. The actual backups are done by rsync, rdiff, borg, and the b2 tool from backblaze depending on the type and destination of the data. I back up everything to a second internal drive, an external drive, and a backblaze bucket for the most critical stuff. Backupninja manages multiple snapshots within the borg repository, and rdiff lets me only copy new data for the large directories.
