Now that overwhelmingly sinking into them has been resolved, you can reinstall a
|
||||
lot of them and feel overwhelmed again!
|
||||
|
||||
### rsync
|
||||
|
||||
You want to use `rsync` instead of `cp` when taking a final copy of a system
|
||||
before reinstall?
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Abbreviatable as -aP?
|

rsync --progress --archive <source> <destination>
|
||||
```

### VeraCrypt
|
||||
|
||||
In the beginning of 2025-06 VeraCrypt decided to not be my friend. The trick was

||||
downloading appimage
|
||||
[from their download page](https://veracrypt.io/en/Downloads.html), ensuring it

gpg --verify VeraCrypt-1.26.24-x86_64.AppImage.sig
|
||||
mkdir VeraCrypt-1.26.24-x86_64.AppImage.config
|
||||
# NO, WRONG!
|
||||
sudo ./VeraCrypt-1.26.24-x86_64.AppImage
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
but the layered VeraCrypt package kept trying to run `/usr/sbin/true` constantly
|
||||
asking for password since `Defaults timestamp_timeout=0` and even removing that
|
||||
didn't help and theoretically this will only cause permissions issue for that
