For archiving purposes, it is best to never touch the original files. It helps when you have thousands of files and during the years you have made backups on different places/disks.
When you consolidate (because either you consolidate or you lose your photos/memories) if you have photos that differ only for the exif tags is a nightmare to understand which photos are ok and which are not.
Always prefer programs that do not touch your photos. I recently found that one of the programs I used in the past for an old camera (2002-2005), when rotating the images was nuking the exif data.. Still need to find which one it was.. and damn it to hell.
Now it would be great to do.xmp of jpegs, but last time I tried (a few months ago) I did not manage to make it work with shotwell (there is only an option to alter the file metadata.. the horror..).
In my case, to consolidate the photo collection, I have the originals in different folders (tematic, cronological etc. etc) and then I create some symlinks in a directory called "history". Here a work in progress
Here in Belgium a registered snail mail is sufficient in general to cancel a service (i.e. cable). Last time I changed internet provider I waited the expiration of the contract, but I think now they have more consumer friendly laws and you can change with much more ease.
The general idea is to foster competition between companies making it easier for a customer jumping ship and woting with his wallet/her purse.
Of course other governamental intervention (forcing the old telecom monopoly to lease their infrastructure at reasonable price and now trying to do the same for cable) is a godsent.
You can always argue that the incumbent has the advantage (because you may want to avoid the ping pong between the virtual operator and the incumbent), but sure as hell it looks infinitely better of what people have suffering in USA.
I got friends going to work there and being flabbergasted by the internet connections and prices...
What I dislike the most are users that take advantage of others due to their lack of knowledge. And this is either done intentionally or unintentionally when rules are not enforced.
I would like all the students (often coming in contact with linux, shell programming and clusters for the first time) to have a fair shot of using the available resources, and not to backstab each other.
Before everyone could run on the cluster, until I discovered that certain students were giving their login to others: the first did not really need it (i.e. theoretical work) and the second would run on the cluster twice the amount of jobs of the others.
the beowulf clusters we have are running either based on Centos or SLES. For the development workstations where newer versions of certain software are needed I install Fedora.
This means the developers basically run production on the cluster and develop on the workstations.
Since there is always a gap between the two (i.e. centos 5 on cluster and fedora 16 on workstations before, centos 6 on cluster and fedora 20 on workstation), when the cluster is updated there is limited breakage, at least until now.
I understand those that push a stable distro everywhere, maybe for next cycle I will do the same, who knows.

Why I Love The GPL

I seem to recall that the FSF did quite a lot of actions against some companies, like one that was producing routers in violation of the GPL.
And each time stupid people were crying out loud that the FSF was "enforcing" the GPL and that they were communist, viral GPL, blah, blah, but that is beside the point.
So, yes, you can force people and companies to abide to GPL, but not by yourself.
That's why if you are concerned about company stealing the work of who benefit as all, there is an easy way to help:http://member.fsf.org/join.
Time to actually do something about this, ladies and gentlemen.

Backuppc is exceptional for linux, but for windows and the infamous pst files, better to have a client/server architecture of the BURP software.
Same server, running backuppc and burp, and you save to tape the whole backup FS every 6 months.
You can use bacula for the last step if you so wish, we use straight copy to lto tapes.

Hello,
I have deployed some fedora 20 machines in the last 3-4 months, and so far I did not see anything that led me to cry foul against systemd.
Actually, the handling of the user sessions for house-keeping purposes seems much simpler now.
So I don't get all this hate. Maybe I did not look deep enough, time will tell.
Cheers

Hi,
another alternative would maybe sysfera-ds, but their open source offering seems lacking documentation and features (see here).
Need to investigate. Seems something on the lines of what vizstack could have done.

If this is not being in mala fide I do not

And, of course, who defends QWERTY to the
