Trouble sleeping…

Well, what do you expect when you don’t escape the !

But what will the poor billionaires do?

Are you using OpenVPN with these providers? And if so, have you tried switching to WireGuard if it’s supported by the provider?

Isn’t that Paul Atreides?

So you are saying that old fashioned police work… works?

You are still the best… and a beast.

I stub my toe and I won’t look at a PR for two weeks.

You are a beast, back surgery and a feature list that long… please just don’t burn yourself out.

If I can at least help on stranger on the internet… well, then I have helped one stranger on the internet 😂

Let’s say you want to test a drive that is mounted on /tmp… you just cd into that directory and you can use my example.

You can use

$> df -h or $> mount

to check how your drive is mounted in the OS Most ”default ” installations will have 1-4 partitions and / being partition 3 or 4.

So if you look at the mount command and / is /dev/sdX3 (where X can be a-z depending on how many drives you have connected) and no other mounts are in the output then every directory under / is on that drive… so you can run my example from your home-directory if you fancy that.

The cool thing about rsync is that it goes ”BRRRRRRRRR!” like a warthog… the plane… and it can saturate the receiving drive or array depending on your network and client. And getting 180 with rsync.. on a SATA drive, can’t really hope for more.

And you can run a quick n dirty test is using dd

$> dd if=/dev/zero of=1g-testfile bs=1g count=1

If you use scp (cp over ssh) you should see the transfer speed.
