*Close To the Machine* is Ellen Ullman's classic memoir of writing software in Silicon Valley at the start of the dotcom bubble; it was originally published in 1997 and reprinted in 2022 for the 25 annniversary by Farrar, Straus and Giroux's MCD books:

This 25th Anniversary Edition of Close to the Machine, featuring a new introduction by Anna Wiener, author of Uncanny Valley, resurfaces Ellen Ullman’s astonishing account of computing and the ways it shapes our very existence.
I somehow never read Ullman's book; having read it now, it's easy to understand how this beautifully rendered snapshot of life at the end of the 20th century became a touchpoint for multiple generations of coders and technologists, and why it's still in print, 27 years later.
Ullman's subtitle for the book is "Technophilia and its discontents," and therein lies the secret to its magic. Ullman loves programming computers, loves the way they engage her attention, her consciousness, and her intelligence. Her descriptions of the process of writing code - of tackling a big coding project - are nothing less than revelatory.
She captures something that a million technothriller movies consistently fail to even approach: the dramatic interior experience of a programmer who breaks down a complex problem into many interlocking systems, the momentary and elusive sense of having all those systems simultaneously operating in a high-fidelity mental model, the sense of being *full*, your brain totally engaged in every way.
It's a poetics of language that meets and exceeds the high bar set by the few fiction writers who've ever approached a decent rendering of this feeling, like William Gibson.
These glittering moments are fleeting, though. No code project survives contact with the computer, a brutal and unforgiving cognitive partner that ferrets out every error in your thinking, every trap you've unknowningly fallen into.
Here again, Ullman shines in her renderings of the ferocious mental combat that programmers must do with their computers, grueling matches that are made all the worse by the certain knowledge that the only way to win the bout is to discover and fix your own flaws.
These set-pieces make for great branching points into the three other components of Ullman's classic: first, there are the stories of high-tech institutions.
We follow Ullman - a contract programmer who is hired to assemble teams to run specific projects - as she works on a gnarly all-in-one tool for matching people with AIDS with a spectrum of public services; and when she is brought into a failing startup as part of an abortive turnaround attempt.
All of this is happening just as the web and the internet are devouring all high-tech projects, and Ullman - a techie who is an old hand at networked communications, but it professionally part of a breed of coder who specializes in standalone and modem-based services - finds herself sitting opposite glittering new-breed hackers who have arrived to eat her lunch.
Here, too, Ullman absolutely *nails* the experience of a technologist who has transitioned from surfing the cutting edge to being decapitated by it. This sequence is made all the more poignant by a series of scenes in which Ullman confronts the impossible knot of writing code that benefits marginalized, at-risk users (people dying of AIDS) while satisfying the political and bureaucratic imperatives of multiple charities, government agencies, and advocates.
Ullman has finally wrestled all of these stakeholders into a stable configuration, only to have these shiny young people show up and tell her that she - and everything she's done and everything she stands for - is obsolete. It's a gut-punch of a scene.
That's the third component of Ullman's memoir - the workplace culture of a programmer who must answer to (and assuage) a variety of nontechnical people who flip from awe to seething resentment of you and your work.
Ullman, who lives the simultaneously precarious and lucrative life of a high-paid, much sought-after freelancer, is at the mercy of so many people who have terrible power over her, little empathy for her, and an almost total lack of understanding of what she does (imagine Dilbert, but written by a smart and aware person, not a humorless asshole).
The final quadrant of Ullman's book is the memoir itself - the story of her life growing up in the shadow of a driven, striving Jewish immigrant in New York City whose manic entrepreneurship and minimal self-awareness transforms him into both a source of inspiration and an object of pity for Ullman.
Ullman's personal life in San Francisco is painted with equal fidelity, from her bisexual, polyamorous romantic life to her camaraderie with other hackers (some of whom end up in her bed).
Ullman introduces us to characters that are instantly recognizable today, from the cypherpunk who dreams of setting up an anonymous digital cash system that is financed by an offshore porn empire to a semi-libertarian young man who can't imagine why the law would set limits on when a worker can be treated as an independent contractor.
These are timeless avatars for the kinds of people whose live "close to the machine," whose brains are easily and productively ensnared by digital computers and their pitiless logic. Despite that, this volume is also a perfect, high-fidelity capture of Silicon Valley at the start of one of its many (many, many) bubbles.
I was there, then, working as a contractor (what else?) for a Unix shop and learning on the job as we tried to figure out whether our customers would expect to access our tools through a browser rather than at the console of a quarter-million dollar SGI machine. Though I'm a generation younger than Ullman, I was in the same place, time and milieu as she was when this book was written, and all of it rings utterly true.
What's more, Ullman's work here preserves and reveals the extent to which the best and worst aspects of tech culture have been present since the earliest days, and gestures at the causal relationship between those aspects and the intrinsic nature of the work of programming computers.
While Ullman doesn't advance an explicit theory relating the attitudes and conundra of her field to the nature of computer programming, this work is implicitly webbed over with gossamer threads joining all these phenomena.
That's something I've tried to do in my own fiction, particularly with my Martin Hench novels, which visit different moments in Silicon Valley history (the 1980s, the 2000s, the 2020s) through the eyes of a forensic accountant who unravels tech scams and, in so doing, traces those same threads:
This 25th anniversary edition features a beautiful introduction by Anna Wiener, author of the extraordinary 2020 Silicon Valley memoir *Uncanny Valley*. Wiener is the perfect choice to introduce this volume, connecting the present moment with the first days of the commercial internet:

latest #distrochallenge candidate idea for me, keeping my no-systemd rule, thus keeps many distros ruled out, if i also add, none of my standard dependable 4 (artix, devuan, gentoo, void), what would i go for? yus, still bedrock... but perhaps also could limit it to static libs distros and bsd style packaging and init... CRUX, i imagine as the hijack core i'd build around, as i figure out what other exotic lesser-known distros fit.
KISS, Carbs, joborun, spring to mind too. As does stali, but, that's not really a distro, and long abandoned.
maybe if i limit respins and distros based on other distros, so even carbs and joborun are out. i know carbs is independent, and has its own package manager, but, it's nearer KISS than guixsd is to nixos, or funtoo is to gentoo. joborun too, impressive and appealing an independent direction it's taking, is still basically an arch derivative, not sufficiently distinct again from the likes of parabola, artix, obarun and the arch respins for my tightened criteria here (~ otherwise, it'd make a strong 2nd most used stratum).
and i've had the idea of all the little distros already (my post on this just prior, 19 days ago)... so it's not that kind of thing i'm going for here.
they may be little, but, not the cute little, if you know what i mean. (not slax, slitaz, puppy, dsl, tinycore, etc)
like ideally they're focussed on a solid core, and their minimal system's top priority, and comes available as a rootfs tarball ready to deploy as a stratum. ... heh, maybe that should be the only criteria.
well, it's fun to think about, but shant be making any hasty moves on this today.
... okies, food will be burning if i dont hop afk to it now.

Hello there! Here's the thing: I got some old HDD for my Debian home server, and now that I have plenty of disk space I want to keep a backup of the OS, so that if something accidentally breaks (either SW or HW) I can quickly fix it.
now the question is: which directory should I include and which should I exclude from the backup? I use docker a lot, is there any docker-specific directory that I should back up?
How do you plan to restore if the whole drive dies?
good point: I guess if the problem is that I messed something up I may just run the backup script in reverse? if the problem is HW then I'd have to reinstall and then restore the backupped directory probably is there a "standard" way?
I usually only keep documents and media. Programs can be redownloaded and reinstalled (and it might be better to reinstall them in case you move to a new OS anyway to ensure compatibility).
For docker specifically, only keep stuff that's specific for your instance; which you normally setup as an external volume anyway. Docker is designed such that you should be able to nuke the container, and all persistent data is restored via an external volume on the host. If you're not doing that, you should immediately go and set that up now (to get the data out safely, setup a volume connection such that the container path is new - that way you don't accidentally destroy what's there, copy the stuff you need out, then readjust the path so it's correct)
thanks for the reply! Yes for sure I'm backing up all the /home directory, but I'd like to preserve also important configurations like ssh, cronjob etc, but I don't really know which directories are important for this and which are not
Don't forget to grab any /etc configurations you've made to adapt the system to your hardware or services. You don't need all of /etc, just whatever you've changed to not be default.
I back up all user data, for me that's some folders in /var, all of /etc (don't need everything, but it's small enough), mysqldumps and pgsqldumps of my databases and the output of dpkg --get-selections. And the backup script itself.
Everything is rsynced to a server in another location.
I want to switch to Borg backup but haven't found the time yet.
I recommend Borgmatic, a declarative way to set up borg backups. I find it much nicer than a having a backup.sh script and the configuration is really straight-forward.
I want to switch to Borg backup but haven’t found the time yet.
Since you haven't switched yet, perhaps consider restic too. I looked into Borg when I was trying to decide which backup software to use, but ended up deciding on restic instead and using resticprofile to ease implementation.
Only the first backup, after that with most backup software it will do incremental backups with delta transfer, so will only send the data that has changed since the last backup.
Why? I have a hard time imagine a use case where restoring the OS itself would be appropriate.
I can imagine restoring data, obviously, and services running with their personalization ... but the OS is something generic that should be discarded at whim IMHO. You probably chance few basic configuration of some services and most likely that's stored in /etc but even then 99% is default.
You can identify what you modified via shell history, e.g. history | grep /etc and potentially save them or you can also use find /etc -type f -newerXY with a date later than the OS installation and you should find what you modified. That's probably just a few files.
If you do back up anything beyond /home (which should be on another partition or even disk than the OS anyway) you'll most likely save garbage like /dev that might actually hinder your ability to restore.
So... sure, image the OS if you actually have a good reason for it but unless you work on archiving and restoring legacy hardware for a museum then I doubt you do need that.
You need to make your own plan about what's important to you. Don't waste time backing up stuff you can quickly download again - like docker images. Just know where the stuff is that you care about (such as any mounted volumes in docker with your own data on) and back that up, and make everything automated. If you do it manually, chances are you'll gradually stop doing them.
I wrote some things about properly backing up data that may be of use.
Backing up your important data is essential. I’ve built many systems over the years, and this is one system that I’m currently using, having thought a great deal about it.
I have used a combination of rsync and borg to backup to an external drive. Then I was feeling adventurous and tried borgbackup2. It was a mistake. Then I learned of rdiff-backup. Easy to setup, but even incremental backups of my home dir took many hours to complete. This is no solution to have regular backups for me.
I decided to go with btrfssnapshots instead. I recently reinstalled everything and I have finally btrfs. I bought a new external NVME drive for my backups where all the snapshots will go. Btrfs has even a parent-option to copy incremental snapshots to another filesystem (the parent snapshots being on both filesystems).
I did not finish my setup, so I cannot share any scripts yet.
It is a question I've spent a lot of time trying to work out. Can't speak to docker.
Some of the specifics of Keeps and Dontkeeps depend on details of your system. You have to find out where the distro, DM and other apps keep the following:
Dontkeeps: - trashes - temp files - file indexes .. IMHO these dont backup properly if you leave them in and will prevent you from completing the task - device files
Keeps: - list of installed packages --- explicit and deps separate if possible - config files: /etc, ~/.config, ~/.* on a case by case basis... I say remove the obvious large temp dirs and keep the rest by default for simplicity - for the system configs I've had a tool called etckeeper running for a while because it was highly recommended but I've never actually restored from it... - personal documents and other files such as typically kept in the home directory - /root occasionally has something you need
Ways to investigate: - use a disk usage utility to find out where your storage is being used up ... It'll help you find large Dontkeeps - watch for recently modified files - dirs and files that are modified all the time are usually temp dirs. But sometimes they have something useful like your firefox profile.
Most backup solutions are ONE of the following:
User files
System files
Don't spend too much time crying about needing two solutions. Just make your backup today and reach perfection later.
Remember: sync isn't backup. Test your backup if you can (but its not as easy as it sounds). Off site your most precious files.
I think most options have been covered here, but I'd like to consider some other bits...
User accounts & file permissions:- if you have >1 account, note that the UserID is internally numbered (starting from 1000, so Bob=1000, Sue=1001) and your file system is probably setup using the numerical UserID... so re-creating the users in a different order would give Sue access to Bob's files and vice versa.
Similarly, backing up /etc /var etc... you should check if any applications (ie databases) need specific chmod and chown settings
Rsync, tar, etc can cover some of this, you just need to check you rebuild users in the correct order.
Maybe Ansible is another approach? So your disaster recovery would be: 1. Install plain OS on new drive 2. Get Ansible access to it (ie basic netwroking) 3. Rebuild OS and instsll applicstions automatically with Ansible 4. Restore application & home folders (again with Ansible)
When you get this working, it's amazing to watch an entire system being rebuilt

Hey do you guys think Atlantis is a real place or just Plato's thought experiment kind of thing? When you read about Troy that was thought to be just a story from Homer's Iliad until it was actually unearthed, it kinda makes you wonder 🤔
I am not sure Atlantis is the right name, or Plato's description is valid, but I firmly believe there was a global seafaring culture that was largely destroyed towards the end of the last ice age.
Visiting Peru is what solidified this theory in my mind. The Nazca pyramids, mummies, and religion share too many similarities with ancient Egypt to be a coincidence.
@ILoveAmericaNews oh there absolutely was transatlantic trade of some sort in the storage. After all, how else one could possibly explain the "cocaine mummies" in Egypt. If you're not familiar with that stuff, look it up. Fascinating shit, really
@Meachamus_Prime I disagree. The Eye of Africa has a vague visual similarity, but it's in the wrong location, and it's something like 100 times too big.

"According to ICE datasets analyzed by the Los Angeles Times, during the first 10 days of June, ICE arrested 722 undocumented immigrants in California. Of those, 70% had never been convicted of a crime. The trend undermines claims that the raids are targeting 'the worst of the worst.'”
"Instead, the arrests disproportionately affect working-class immigrants with no criminal records. Among them is the father of a U.S. Marine, who was beaten and detained at his landscaping job. In another case, a Marine’s wife, Paola, who arrived in the U.S. as a child seeking asylum, was arrested during an immigration appointment."
"These are not hardened criminals. They are street vendors, day laborers, and families struggling to make ends meet. In Los Angeles’ Koreatown neighborhood, many undocumented immigrants now face a dire choice: stay home to avoid arrest or risk their freedom to put food on the table."
