07:07 schestowitz; <blockquote>

07:07 schestowitz; <p>System imaging is a nerdy topic. But it is an important topic. If and when you introduce big changes to your operating system baseline, you want to have the ability to roll those changes back in case of an error or some odd incompatibility. Different operating systems - and filesystems - resolve this quandary in various ways. The most prevalent, common among them is system imaging - you grab a time snapshot

07:07 schestowitz; of your system state, and later on, restore it if you need to.</p>

07:07 schestowitz; <p>In Linux, the quintessential tool for the job is the powerful CloneZilla, an awesome, versatile tool about which I wrote a complete tutorial back in 2011. It works great, but it has one caveat. It's nerdy even for nerds, and requires a far deal of expertise to use with confidence. Enter RescueZilla, a open-source disk management suite designed to provide the full CloneZilla functionality with a convenient

07:07 schestowitz; GUI on top of it. Well, let's explore.</p>

07:40 schestowitz; <blockquote>

07:40 schestowitz; <p>If youre more than 30 years old, then there is a good chance that BASIC (Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) was the first programming language you used. Many early computers shipped with a BASIC interpreter in firmware, so it was the first thing users saw when they booted up their computer. While other languages are more useful for most tasks today, BASIC still has benefits. To take

07:40 schestowitz; advantage of it, Stefan Lenz used a Nano RP2040 Connect to build a standalone computer that runs BASIC for Internet of Things applications.</p>
