3rd–2nd century B.C.

Title: Bronze statue of Eros sleeping
Period: Hellenistic period
Date: 3rd–2nd century B.C.
Culture: Greek
Medium: Bronze


The Hellenistic period introduced the accurate characterization of age. Young children enjoyed great favor, whether in mythological form, as baby Herakles or Eros, or in genre scenes, playing with each other or with pets. This Eros, god of love, has been brought down to earth and disarmed, a conception considerably different from that of the powerful, often cruel, and capricious being so often addressed in Archaic poetry.

ANBB - algemeen nederlandse burger belangenvereniging

Over de ANBB


Omdat de definitie van burgerbelangen heel breed is en over diverse maatschappelijke groeperingen (zoals vissers, boeren, huisartsen, windmolentegenstanders) of aspecten (zoals economisch belang, rust, gezondheid of privacy) kan gaan is gekozen voor het model van samenwerking onder een paraplu organisatie : een vereniging waarin ieder zichzelf kan blijven waar zowel plaats is voor individuele burgers als voor andere entiteiten als stichtingen, verenigingen en vennootschappen.

So I did a bit copy of a terabyte nvme drive to an identical nvme card in my laptop using pv. Just over 11 minutes at 1.41GB/sec. I looked on the internet to see how long this usually takes, with estimates ranging from hours to weeks. The filesystem was live, not an identical, but the copy is ready to boot with only a dirty journal which is fixed in seconds. If I was picky, I could have copied from a single user init read only root terminal, but found that's uneccessary.

I had backed up the target system to this drive with "cp -ax" which copies the tree. There was about 200GB in there and it took about the same time as the full terabyte bit copy. Per bit, it was a longer process, but the old tree is backed up twice, ready to pick the fruit perfectly as it was if I ever need it.

The advantage of the fast bit copy is an instant ready to boot image if I ever need it. It's always worked, albeit a dirty journal that gets cleaned in seconds. Nobody likes a tape backup that requires PROPRIETARY software to restore AND DOESN"T WORK! I've seen too many times when people actually need a backup when the server room crashed and it takes them WEEKS to get "most" things up again (but not all!) I've seen this with ransomware too many times (and they used notorious Microsoft products!) With this, it's ready to go, however I want it.

Since I have gigabit Google Fiber, I often tarball an encrypted volume to the Google Drive cloud. I found speeds using that method average about 600mb/s as the server seems to be only 10mS away.

I cringe when I see others backup and try to restore. And I'm sure they cringe at this method, but I've found it 100% since 1997 when I started using Linux exclusively. I tried using the popular methods, including RAID, but always ran into disaster in its many forms...

I remember in horror when I compiled a "hello world" in the Go programming language. It was obscenely huge. Like hundreds of megabytes. I remember little programs being dozens of bytes. That's when I knew Golang was NOT for me! And why I practice the art of fully functional minimalist embedded programming. And recoil in horror when I see a Linux distribution with #systemD or anything from Redhat these days
