They also have a website with docs: https://nixmultiverse.com/docs/

The website can also be used to search for specific package versions in nixpkgs, to get the nixpkgs revision: https://nixmultiverse.com/

The above feature is similar to: https://lazamar.co.uk/nix-versions/ or https://www.nixhub.io/ , but using this project is a way easier alternative than searching for an pinning revisions.

Pairdop is an open source, browser based, peer to peer file sharing application.

It is cool because it can find other devices on the network. So you open up pairdrop on one computer, and you open pairdop on another, and then you can see the devices and chat with eachother.

But, you also have the options of:

• Creating a temporary public room for sharing files over the network to another device
• Permanently pairing devices so that they can access eachother after you close the app

In addition to that, it's a progressive web application, so you can "install", and/or the web page does not need internet to load, firefox will cache it and let you use the app even if you don't have internet.

There is a publicly hosted instance you can try: https://pairdrop.net/

I can't find the source code for this, I am posting here to save it to remind myself to search later.

It was fairly easy. I used rustic to back up my entire home directory to a USB flash drive.

The trick is to ensure that all applications (except KDE) are closed. Firefox, for example, really hates if you try to actively sync or copy over it's profile directories while it is running.

And then I also nuked my podman user data. (podman system reset). Podman sometimes makes the ownership of it's files weird, but also the container images take up a lot of space that I don't really care about actually backing up. It's okay if those aren't on the new laptop.

Then I backed up to the usb flash drive:

rustic init -r /path/to/repo — this will prompt you for a password

rustic backup -r /path/to/repo /home/moonpie

One cool thing about the backups is that they are deduplicated and compressed. So I backed up 120 gb of data, but it was compressed to 80 gb.

restic snapshots -r /path/to/repo

The snapshots are deduplicated as well. Data that doesn't change between snapshot versions, doesn't take up any extra space.

rustic restore -r /path/to/repo snapshotid /

The / is needed because rustic restores to paths underneath the thing. It gave me a bunch of permission errors about not being able to read stuff not in my home directory, but eventually it restored all of my data.

And then yeah. All my data. Except Wifi passwords, which I had stored as unencrypted for all users, because I didn't like having to unlock the KDE wallet to get to Wifi passwords when connecting. I had (and have) LUKS encryption so I didn't worry about that too much. But it means that data not in my home directory was not copied over.

It was surprisingly smooth, and now I have all my data and firefox profiles and stuff on the new machine.
