Disk cloning is the process of copying data from one hard disk to another. While you can perform this task using copy-and-paste methods, it’s important to note that such manual processes may not capture hidden files and folders.
That’s why you need cloning software to do the job, also you may need the cloning process to save a backup image from your files and folders.

The following description is from a (slightly edited) Mastodon post:
When I prepared a Raspberry Pi with the latest Raspberry Pi OS (based on Debian Bookworm) as a monitoring and observability display, I noticed the “wayvnc” package during the dist-upgrade.
Turns out this is a pre-installed VNC server package – at least on the Desktop variant.
But how can the VNC Server be configured and started and more importantly, how can I connect using a VNC viewer? Figured it out and wrote about it

My single-user Mastodon instance has been ticking away at phocks.eu.org for a while now, over a year at least. All up, I’ve paid zero dollars to keep it running. I’ve had a few people ask me to write up something about it, so here it is.
If you’re comfortable logging into a Linux server via SSH and running commands you shouldn’t have any major troubles setting it up, but it will take a few hours of work. Enjoy!

Learn about logical operators and shell expansions, in the second article in this multi-part series on programming with Bash. Author’s note: The articles in this series first appeared at Opensource.com. The original articles consisted of two series and the rest were published as stand-alone articles. These have all been merged into a single series with updates and modifications for that purpose.

Saw this tip on Mastodon from user Stephan (@durchaus@mastodon.social) and thought it worth passing along:
When you are about to write a long and complicated command in bash, then hit CTRL+x CTRL+e to enter an editor window in which you can write the command with your default editor. The command will be executed immediately after the file is saved and the editor is closed. #linux #commandline #bash #programming #tips
I never knew you could do this. And it was only a year or two ago that I found about about CTRL+r which lets you do a text search for commands in your history (so you don’t need to keep pressing the up arrow). Then again I am not a big command line user, but when I do need to use it, tips like these can be quite helpful IF I can remember them when I need them!
Thanks to Stephan for sharing this tip!
