    Because when I finish my 10 hour shift, get home from my 2 hour commute, to my 6 year old kid crying because she managed to fuck her Minecraft machine up somehow, I don’t want to spend my only free half hour that day trying to work or what she did.

    That’s not a learning opportunity for her. Even if she had the patience to sit there and watch me try to fix it, she won’t r get what I’m doing. And after getting up at 5.30, getting home at 7.30 watch how good I am at not just swearing at the thing instead.

      Rsync changes each week to a network share with an A/B layout, switching backup targets back and forth each time. Something breaks? Remote in, rsync back, by the time you get home from work it’ll be back as it was and running already.

        What if you have a system that just works and you can’t break?

        No rsync, no remoting from work (vpn or other software et al), no “i gotta be on alert for when my kid breaks my computer again”

        Also, why do we have to shame people for just wanting to use their computer?

          I’m not shaming. I’m offering a simple Solution. The backups can be automated and you can NetBoot the restore process off that rsync target so you don’t have to be distracted at work. You can have a simple plan to execute if you get these calls while you are at work so there is no problem you can’t instantly reverse. It takes no time to pull off after you’ve set it up.

            I do not agree about this being a simple solution, especially if you want to set up netboot for this, but I don’t want to engage this discussion any further since we’re just talking about a solution to a problem that I don’t have and I don’t care to solve, so maybe we should just agree to disagree?
