  • Many years ago I tried it, but didn’t really read up on it. Wanted to back up my Pi’s sdcard while the system was running. I even fucking named that script “online-backup”.

    Now every time I ran that, after hours, I noticed my Pi was crashing, and never booted back up. I used chinese sd cards so I blamed it on them.

    But this happened multiple times, just to learn I was using dd absolutely wrong.

    dd was always a scary utility to me, and still is. I fucked up things with dd, regardless I quadruple checked everything 😅

    but to answer the question; it’s possible, but you really need to know what are you doing.



  • I always read now and even back then people complaining about t9 and how shitty it is…

    I don’t know, I loved it on my Sony Ericssons. The implementation of it was really nice.

    Granted, I did use it on my native language, so maybe in English, it is shitty, but it was a must have thing to turn on for me after a while (when I discovered and realized how it works. before that, it was just some strange black magic)

    Just started typing, and if I waited a bit, a list of words came up and could use the dpad or joystick to select a word. only annoying thing was a popup, if the word did not exists I was trying to type, but then I could just add it with two button presses and that’s it.

    And Bonzi even was a 3rd party thing. Now imagine that shit, just built into the system by that time. 😅

    Heck, even MSN Browser was a thing and I’m pretty sure just because it said “Good afternoon” or some shit when you launched it.

    Since at that time these shits weren’t really normalized, I can imagine some people would actually like these things and maybe even use them. It would have feel… kinda modern? If that makes sense… (tho when I first saw XP after using 95 and 98 in my life at that point, it felt absolutely super-duper modern x3)

    I like this image - it is really nicely done. I don’t like what it represents, but the image itself is decent.
